Sing Joyfully, William Byrd

Chris Junos is an electronic musician from Alexandroupolis, Greece, whose work blends IDM, soundscapes, and Balkan/Mediterranean influences, recorded live in a DAWless studio, reflecting a niche but growing trend in authentic, hardware-based music production supported by a 2023 study in the Journal of New Music Research on live recording’s emotional impact.

The album title nods to Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, whose mythological ties to Cyprus and cultural fusion with Near Eastern deities (documented in 8th-century BC orientalization per Wikipedia’s Aphrodite entry) may inspire Junos’ cosmic-themed artwork and ethereal sound, challenging the Western-centric view of Greek mythology as isolated.

Aphrodite's Chill

This is actually the third version of the song. I felt the original idea I’d roughed out with the keyboard and computer could be more interesting. So I reworked the whole track again (twice) adding several ‘hooks’. These were some vocal ‘stabs’, some keyboard/synth riffs as well as writing ( what I hope ) is a more interesting bass line. I beefed up the drum section too. I hope the fun I had creating it is reflected in the overall vibe of the track. Having said all this, the question is: did it actually work?

Wandering into the unknown

In the collective imagination in north Italy, Piedmontese witches, or Masche, were generally ugly, old women who lived in the countryside, far from civilization. They possessed magical powers, capable of evil and disturbing spells. Indeed, they were the protagonists of legends with controversial, cruel, and terrifying vicissitudes.

Le Masche o streghe Piemontesi, nell’immaginario collettivo erano in genere delle donne brutte e vecchie che vivevano in campagna, lontane dalla civiltà. Erano delle donne dai poteri magici, capaci di sortilegi malefici ed inquietanti. Furono, infatti, protagoniste di leggende dalle vicessitudini controverse, crudeli e molto spaventose.
