My 3rd and last (I hope) attempt to set to music the scene from Homer's Iliad (Book VI) where Hector meets Andromache. Two more pieces have preceded it since 2009, each time with different lineup and sound-world. This time, Hector sings, too.

Premiered by TETTTIX in Athens during Subset Festival on June 24 & 25, 2023.
Andromache: Natasa Tsakiridou
Hector: Michalis Paraskakis

Recorded by Brian Coon and mixed by Giorgos Chanos.

Far Cry (2025)

Seven Pebbles (2025) is a playful exploration of the relationship between two distinct modes of perception: structured counting and attentive listening to a soundscape. These modes intertwine within a contemplative, minimalistic framework, as performers move fluidly between them to create a multi-layered sonic texture. 
At the piece's heart is a mantra-like process of counting to seven in Greek, inspired by Tom 
Johnson’s Counting Languages. This continuous thread unfolds alongside the instrumentally 
reconstructed soundscape of a small beach in Heraklion during the winter—a quiet pocket of 
nature within the urban landscape—offering space for interaction, reflection, and memory.
In memory of Tom Johnson.

Seven Pebbles fragment

How shall I put it?

With an affirmation?
I can only write the music I want to write.
Or with a negation?
Nothing's forbidden as soon as I make head or tail of it.

Listen carefully!
