The piece was commissioned by the Royal Conservatory of Ghent on the occasion of 500 years from Andreas Vesalius Bruxellensis's birth; it was performed during the Week of Contemporary Music, which I was curating, by G.A.M.E. (Ghent Advanced Masters Ensemble) under the bâton of Daan Jaansens.

Vaesanus (= madman in Latin) was how people called Vesalius in the 16th century for his blasphemous delving into the human body. Accordingly, a slowly evolving music is twice interrupted by an "all fools' intermezzo" (announced by a gong) demonstrating a shattering of all earnestness.
Vesalius's stand against intolerance and obscurantism stays always in season...

"He composed the Havasí for flute and ensemble having on his mind the sound of the zourna and the kaval, with the attitude to transmute the music of his homeland. Havá in turkish literally means "air", but in music is used to mean "tune". Nowadays, concerning the traditional music of Greece, the term still exists mainly in Serres' region (Northern Greece) in the repertoire of zourna.  It is always accompanied by the title of the tune and it is followed by -si , i.e. Monastír havasí, that means the tune of monastery. Seen from this perspective, the Havasí is an instrumental dance tune of a Macedonian "post-community".

TETTTIΞ (with triple t, pronounced tétix) was born in 2017 on the initiative of Michalis Paraskakis. Its first performance took place in mid 2018, in the small, underground venue Zp87, in the centre of Athens. Since then, it has performed in the Onassis Cultural Centre [Athens], TV Control Centre [Athens] and participated in the last feature film of director Nikos Kornilios “Where the worlds cross”.

ΤΕΤΤΤΙΞ is a team of young musicians, brought together by their love for contemporary/new music, after their long friendship and collaboration. Consisting of 13 musicians, it has a unique formation: flute, clarinet, saxophone, bassoon, accordion, piano, guitar, harp, percussion, double bass and 3 composers. TETTTIΞ aims at the creation of new repertoire for its bizarre instrumentation, from young and established composers from around the world. Meanwhile, as a genuine child of its era, TETTTIΞ is flirting with improvisation and other music genres, pop, rock, jazz, rembetiko, electronic, traditional, to name a few.
