Poem: Nikos Gkatsos.

Όταν την πόρτα μου χτυπήσεις κάποια μέρα
Τα παγωμένα θα κατέβω τα σκαλιά
Να θυμηθούμε λίγο λίγο τα παλιά
Που γίναν στάχτη και καπνός μες στον αγέρα

Όλα χαθήκαν κι η ζωή μας πήγε στράφι
Μας βρήκαν μπόρες μες στου κόσμου τη νυχτιά
Ποιος ξέρει η μοίρα στα κρυφά της τα χαρτιά
Τι άλλη απόφαση για μας τους δυο να γράφει

Ήσουν μια βρύση του ουρανού κι ήμουν μια στάλα
Πικρή μου αγάπη στα μπαλκόνια τα ψηλά
Μέρα και νύχτα κάναμ’ όνειρα πολλά
Μέρα και νύχτα κάναμ’ όνειρα μεγάλα

Hi friends!
Sometimes I feel like a humble machine in this vast universe. 
We are a small note in the symphony of existence, and although our melody may fade, we can find meaning in having been a part of it.
That's what my new piano piece is about.
I hope you like it.

A Humble Machine

Single for the upcoming album "Riverscape", out on Oct 6

Air J.S. Bach

This "Chaconne Paysanne" from "Dance Suite no.2", draws inspiration from the traditional chaconne form while incorporating elements evocative of rural life. Built around a recurring rhythmic motif, the piece explores a range of harmonic and melodic variations that alternately reflect the discipline of agricultural work and the vitality of popular folk dances.

The composition stands out for its balance between the classical structure inherited from the Baroque era and a more direct, intentionally uncluttered writing style that highlights the simplicity and authenticity of the sonorities. This approach creates an atmosphere that is both solid and lively, remaining faithful to the spirit of the rural traditions that inspired the work.

Cette "Chaconne Paysanne" issu de la "Suite de Danse no.2" pour piano, composée par Pierre Fontaine, s’inspire de la forme traditionnelle de la chaconne tout en y intégrant des éléments évocateurs du monde rural. Basée sur un motif rythmique répété, la pièce explore différentes variations harmoniques et mélodiques qui traduisent tour à tour la rigueur du travail de la terre et la vitalité des danses populaires.

La composition se distingue par son équilibre entre la structure classique héritée du baroque et une écriture plus moderne, volontairement dépouillée, qui met en valeur la simplicité et l’authenticité des sonorités. Cette approche permet de créer une atmosphère à la fois solide et vivante, fidèle à l’esprit des traditions paysannes qui ont inspiré l’œuvre.
