Free improvisation is a fairly new concept to me, personally. Nonetheless, during the last two years it has had an effect on my musical direction and has inspired the way we form our live performance as Amberclock - subtly, but steadily.

Improvisation does not stay within the performance realm - it has to do with a general direction and therefore creeps into life as well. Thus, it wandered -kind of by its own free will- into the Amberclock project earlier than I anticipated, for I already considered future plans regarding this performance. In May, we gave an almost impromptu concert where instead of our usual guitarist, Alexandros Stigas, we performed as a trio with Nikos Kordelis, with whom I have had the honor of collaborating in various line-ups centered around free improvisation and its wonderfully unpredictable mondus operandi.

This is a rehearsal capture which pretty much covers the musical direction we followed at the gig some days later.

Line-up:
Amberclock: Electronics, Ableton Live, vocals
Dimitris Mitropoulos: Synthesizers
Nikos Kordelis: Guitar, prepared guitar, violin, oven lid

Tracklist:
1. Carpenter's meditation
2. Geiger has a dream
3. You will have to wait
4. Haptic synapses is a pretty abstract concept
5. Geiger malfunction isn't subtle
6. Longcase clocks and after hours

Quadraphonic recording mixed and mastered on stereo with ambisonics and dts algorithms.
It's best to listen through a good pair of closed-back headphones.

This is Lobby : Underground.
A mix i did out of the feel of the fall .
Delicate and elaborated sounds that they descent into dark collapsing savageness before  softened and emerge refine again.
Cabaret Voltaire,Shoc Corridor,South of no North,A certain ratio,Tuxedo moon and othres in here...

Lobby : Underground

the light too much joy too much heaven too much
the earth too vast a fast-moving horse
I hear the waters I'm weeping for light

New Podcast is online from a favourite Athenian composer Panos Alexiadis. 

Panos Alexiadis (1985) is a sound artist based in Athens, Greece. His approach to sound lies between composition and improvisation, all merged in long form built structures of acoustic and synthetic textures, evolving a sense of wandering in an introverted semi – abstract sound environment. In 2015 he founded Thalamos, a tape label based between Athens & Berlin, oriented on the peculiar and versatile side of experimental underground sound. For the last couple of years he’s working intensively on his new album “NEOS KOSMOS” which is expected to be completed soon.

Biography
Amberclock is a moniker - also, the name of this project. Based on acoustic singing/songwriting pieces, it attempts to deconstruct them to end up with a less conventional instrumentation and structure, by using electronics, drone, dissonance etc. and ultimately incorporating them to a larger ambiance.

Performed live, one of the main aims is to avoid using prerecorded material, or at least playing prerecorded samples and layers manually rather than playing based on samples and their timing.
