Meteikasma (Μετείκασμα) is a greek word that stands for “afterimage”. The image that lasts for some moments after closing our eyes, the quick fading “negative” of what we where seeing that it is more intense if the light our eyes are perceiving is stronger. This phenomenon was the inspiration for composing this piece. Through various musical soundscapes, some with a “distant” character and other with a more melodic approach, an anaparastasis of the phenomenon is attempted in a non conventional way. Time and timing is a key factor of creating a macro-structure that will leave a certain impact to the listener because of the strategically positioned melodic references that are functioning like musical memory “handles”. Those melodic lines combined with the more “obscure” elements of the piece are supposed to create a somewhat controlled “afterimage” to be left to the listener after the performance of the piece. 


METEIKASMA I (2018) for String Quartet

This work is composed in memoriam to the great and prolific composer Theodore Antoniou. One of the most distinctive characteristics of Antoniou’s music language was (among others) his passion to incorporate memorable melodies - often derived from the traditional greek musical culture - even into his most complex and sophisticated works. Therefore, in this work a similar compositional approach is attempted in which recognisable melodic models are developed and evolved under the form of an “arch” type musical narrative.
