Title: Dancing Stars Stem in our Eyes when we Sleep with our Lids Open
Format: 160 x 120 cm, 100% cotton

Printed by Manolis and Chrysanthos Angelakis at Tind and tailored by Alaaeldin Halawany, between 2021-2022.


About

“Dancing stars stem in our eyes when we sleep with our lids open” was conceived as a contribution to the group show “What is above is what is below and the sky is a mirror reflecting back at the world” in September 2021. It was a collaborative proposal for the Armeni Minoan Cemetery in Crete by Nicola Baratto, Viktor Gogas and Yiannis Mouravas.

Defined by the landscape, the contribution inhabited the space between Thanatos and Hypnos, standing between two seminal works of art, a video installation by Xaviera Kouvara and the soundscape “exp sun” by Andreas Ragnar Kassapis. The relationship between the soil and these two states of being, led the artists to create a series of textile works that served both as shrouds and picnic blankets for a woodland adventure. The piece is a multi-use surface imprinted with psychedelic geography and poetry. 

This current edition is a series of one-of-a-kind silkscreen printed canvases produced after the show.

“Plãsmata (πλάσματα) stand tall, like sunken worlds. Free-form corporeal compositions, transformed into mutant dreamscapes. A pulsating web of memories aching for unattainable shape.

AKTINA, Issue 2 

“There’s an inherent spatial separation between interior and exterior. But when a window opens, interior and exterior no longer apply. It’s impossible to tell where “within” ends and “without” begins…  A window allows for the possibility of an appearance.  A contrast between two scenes.  Reflections are key as they taint everything they touch, affecting our perception of any image. In the process of seeing, the viewer becomes an integral part of what they have just seen. It is now impossible to separate the two.

The viewer is the actor. My window views are my personages. (Rik De Boe)”.

AKTINA, Issue 1 

“My father used to collect driftwood from river banks and beaches whenever we went on a daytrip. Observing those water-beaten branches, twisted into fantastical shapes, sits at the heart of this series, flowing straight from by subconscious. My “driftings” are the ravages of time, flood-beaten and sometimes brittle, but always carved with memories.  Some appear static, trapped in a moment, while others are about to burst into life, itching to bridge the gap between my past and my present”.

The drawings were created over the summer of 2022.

– About

A dense and healing journey through the bowels of mother earth
– Tako Reyenga (Music from Memory)

An artist that doesn’t cease to amaze and a true pioneer of the Greek experimental scene, delivers a transcendental future-proof album
– Janet Davis

 

Agios Anthropos, Orila and Untitled-1 present Kostadis’ long awaited full-length album ‘Emerald’.

This new set of recordings is a declaration of neo geo pop exuberance that boldly contradicts the back catalogue of punk, drone and noise abstractions that Kostadis had become synonymous with.

Its 11 tracks set the stage for a contemporary synth panorama of treated vocals, downbeat compositions and minimal electronics, a blend of African polyrhythms and space age music.

Earthy, meditative and lush, ‘Emerald’ instantly transports the listener to a sensual dreamscape. It eliminates the distinction between experimentalism and pop, while re-imagining classic masters, like Vangelis, Yellow Magic Orchestra and Mike Oldfield.

– Short Bio

Self-taught multi-instrumentalist and music engineer Kostadis has become a stalwart of the Athens music scene thanks to his improvisational solo electroacoustic workouts, while making a name for himself as a key player in various bands, including Lost Bodies, Sclavos and Wham Jah.

Sometimes Archaeology Dreams of Itself II: Future Relics


About

Sometimes Archaeology Dreams of Itself II: Future Relics (2018) is the second investigative project by Nicola Baratto & Yiannis Mouravas on the intersection between Dream & Archaeology, a practice formalised as Archaeo-Dreaming. For Future Relics the artist duo embarked on a journey to Aruba, in the Dutch Antilles, that sparked a research on a mythical island named Antilia and its connection to a German WWII shipwreck: the SS Antilla. The outcome of their quest was presented at NEVERNEVERLAND–Amsterdam in December 2018, in the form of an art publication and a 2-channel video installation. The former was made in collaboration with Viktor Gogas, the latter with Marijn Degenaar, Francesco G. Gagliardi and Claudio Zaia.

– S.A.D. of Itself II: Future Relics

Sometimes Archaeology Dreams of Itself II: Future Relics embodies the metaphysics of a journey Baratto & Mouravas undertook to Aruba, in the Dutch Antilles, in June 2018, while researching an ‘Atlantic Triangle’.

On the first cornerstone of such triangle, there is SS Antilla: a Nazi shipwreck that sunk off the coast of Aruba 1940 in the aftermath of the German invasion of the Netherlands. The second vertex of this geometry is Antilia: a phantom island with seven harbours, which appeared in the nautical charts of medieval cartographers before the Atlantic became widely explored, and eventually disappeared from mapping as no one ever found it. The third point is the Antilles, the cluster of islands Aruba is part of. The archipelago is an extension of the Dutch Colonial history and was named after the promises that the New World of Antilia and its sister Atlantis could bring into existence.

This geometry materialises – both in the book and the video installation – as a mosaic in time & space. Through the employment of both historical and mythical languages, this construction builds a symbolic universe with complex ambivalences. A search for utopia is corrupted by dystopian memories. A quest for the unknown takes place in the ultimate tourist island. Death and immortality merge into a decaying artefact of World War II. The Western conception of the Caribbean as Paradise clashes with the tourist Caribbean Hell, as described by Angelique V. Nixon in “Tourism is the New Colonialism” (Resisting Paradise, 2015).

Thus, the journey represents a mythopoetic–historical speculation of an Atlantic Past as seen through the experience of Antilla, both as a Nazi–wreck and an invisible island. As the future is an imminent moment, already inscribed into the present instant, the visual labyrinth of Future Relics reframes a given past into an immeasurable utopia.

Finally, the printed volume, in connection with the moving images, is an aesthetic and tangible guide to Archaeo-Dreaming, a practice initiated by Baratto & Mouravas somewhere between the historic and oneiric memory we all share.

– About

Rooms in Negative is Andreas Ragnar Kasapis, a prolific Athenian artist actively involved in painting, sound, text and publishing. In 2018 RiN put together a strip down audio set up consisting of a guitar amp, a tablet pc, a microphone and a loop station. Using this minimal set up he slowly crafted audio loops to accompany him through his painting sessions. A single loop could last as long as he was in his studio painting, reflecting on areas of interest through themes of repetition, oscillation, layering, echoing, hiss, surface noise, intermediate spaces, the nuance of memory and the pliancy of perception. These themes slowly but steadily came into balance with the accompanying audio loops, creating an alternate reality in which the image and the sound became indistinguishable and practically fed from each other.

Lucky Boys is a selection of these loops -turned into recordings- that were made between 2018-2019. Through the 11 tracks that consist Lucky Boys, RiN presents an incredible skill in dealing with isometric systems of sound that have a strong sense of spiral repetition, gravitating towards mystical and infinite compositions. Layer after layer, the sound comes through as waves of alternating emotions and forgotten dreams. There is an aura of affirming melancholy on these compositions, a re-visitation of utopian soundscapes, existing as improvised memories and perception shifts of what is real and what not.

– About

Dimitris Patsaros is an Athens-based producer & sound designer. He rambles across the city fusing elements of dancehall, dub, kraut, kosmiche, grime, techno & bass morphing them into a style that feels uniquely his own.

For Skinner/Subside he delivers a translucent and pulsating mix of soft and hard bangers thatlight up on repeated listens, instantly drawing you in to its textural and moody landscapeSynth lines, field recordings and vocal treatments blend with rhythmic heat, percussive rituals and tripped-out basslines, providing a haze of warmth, nostalgia and a sense of nocturnal urban deviations.

Ultimately the overall feeling sounds strangely familiar, much like a corrosive déjà vu that by design is not letting you pin-point the actual memory, offering a new vision of forgotten texturesfinally arching the dissonant to the sublime.

“We’ve tried to figure our human equation and it drove us to the city lights only to find death among the high rises”.

– About

Bill Anagnos is the fast-driving stunt moniker of Efthimis Theodossis, an instrument builder, an analogue synth collector, a locked groove maniacand 1/2 of the free improv dub duo Free Piece of Tape.

Years of hard lovin in the paths of free improv, slowly led to a more rhythmical and extrovert attitude towards composition. Trying to balancebetween previous versions of pre-recorded tracks and their dubbed shadows, a decision was upheld, to dress up with style and grit something only a stuntman by day / free roaming driver by night could do and score the open roads.  

As the title suggests “Major Arcana” is a set of 22 cards in tarot that “represent the life lessons, karmic influences and the big archetypal themes that are influencing life and the soul’s journey to true enlightenment”. Bill’s first proper solo release under this name is a collection of 7 tracks and 3 interludes recorded and produced between 2011 and 2013, that offer a rare glimpse of the core elements that consist this dirt track persona. “Major Arcana” is one of those releases where a conjuring takes place, creating a unique combination of cross-linking various genres. Dub, kosmische, vaporwave, drone, lo-fi, orchestral, world music, all these are present, re-arranged and blended together with the utmost skill. Utilizing surface noise, pulsating hiss, intentional errors, subconscious chance playing, a “selector” style free from a beat locked attitude, aand a compulsion for instrument building such as the semantron (σήμαντρο) that draws from Orthodox monks self-build summoning instrument tradition, Theodosis channels this kind of psyche directly through the black leather covered hands of Bill Anagnos and into the Major Arcana world.

Demonstrating top-notch dub production skills and analogue synth wizardry Major Arcana is a rare vapour dub gem that roots firmly to a kosmischeuniverse. A universe weird enough to become almost monastic and finally sucked up again into its own haze.

This is Bill Anagnos driving through Major Arcana !

– Short Bio

Efthimis Theodossis is an active member of the contemporary Athenian underground music scene since 2001. He is a member of the experimental duo Free Piece of Tape and he has participated in various festivals such as Video Dance Festival (2006), Synch Festival (2007), MIR Festival (2008), Athens & Epidaurus Festival (2009), Vovousa Festival (2016) and Documenta14 (2017).

Liquidism – 01


About

Liquidism-01 is the first eagerly awaited release in the “Liquidism” series. A 35x50cm, 16-page edition, featuring artwork by Nektarios Pappas, Angelique Peristeraki, Viktor Gogas, Stathis Tsemberlidis, Jola & George Tourlas.

This periodical publication was born out of a deep desire for a new meeting place, where independent artists could explore imagery through the lens of contemporary illustration. The initiative is rooted in the participants’ willingness to interact, experiment and communicate in the process of producing a physical object. Liquidism‘s ultimate goal is to trigger the reader’s senses through direct exposure to landscapes of ink and paper, light and shadow.

Special thanks to Philip Goumas for unknowingly stumbling upon the concept of “liquidism” in 2004.

– About

Taking as a starting point the diverse nature of Turbo Teeth’s / Yellow Equals One first EP, four musicians from Athens, re-structure & re-model tracks from YEO with a fully imaginative drive.

Bill Anagnos carves a misty dub path through the sweaty streets of Chica’s Palindromes. Using washes of sound that stretch time & space, he progressively reveals a two-step intergalactic gem that echoes hard through the space vacuum.

Echo Canyon dials a quite different tone to Dial A Discos pt I & II, revealing an incredible ability to materialize and de-materialize abstract dance structures, using parts of the track like a series of magic wands, he casts spells repeatedly upon a dissolving and uncertain dancefloor. 

Sister Overdrive takes his turn with Chica’s Palindromes misdirection mix, starting with treated fragments of the actual track and building up an explosive mix, that skillfully exposes & eventually upgrades the hidden meaning of the track, transforming it into a weird rave anthem for the few.

Last, but certainly not least, comes Elisabet Vogler who attentively weaves an ethereal dream line between the actual track and its astral projection. Using a small fragment from Tropical Tape Transit (pt.II), she delivers an emotive spectral tape treatment, that could go on playing forever without ever repeating itself. A perfect closing gesture, which quickly sucks you into its own wormhole.

These tracks cast a quite different light to the EP, revealing different takes that underline the eccentricity & diversity of YEO!

– About

“Yellow Equals One” finds one of Athens’ most offbeat musicians, Giorgos Axiotis, recording his first proper solo EP as Turbo Teeth, a project that culminates many years of experience and experimentation as a member of various acts like Free Piece Of Tape, Balinese Beast, Holefold, Bruised Lee & Tom Cruisin‘.

 “YEO” is a record of intuitive charm, an exercise in style and substance, revealing an incredible aptitude to switch between styles and grooves. A sense of universal moodiness combined with a flair for quick, witty chunks, filters through every track, holding together nervous percussion, irregular patterns, dystopian synth lines, retro sci-fi goofiness, tape deck abstractions and fractured pop. This is an alchemical blend of sounds, where each track is materialized as a hybrid of different ideas and dynamics. 

Opening track “Money Over Glitches” is a perfect slow burner with its idiosyncratic bass, hazy pads and punchy hi-hats topped with some bizarre, slowed down sampled vocals. “Big Troubles” features brief whistling sounds, percussive elements and various slapstick noises that emerge over a retro-robotic swing to put together a bizarrely mechanized dance track. This affection for automated malfunctions carries on throughout the first part of “Dial A Discos pt. I & II” with xerox beats and collage patterns, up to a point when a hypnotic lo-fi sample ritual cuts the track halfway through, resembling a remote UFO calling, adorned with slow rhythmic pulses and dubbed out sampledelia. Chica’s Palindromes” stands out as probably the record’s most haunting track, with its spacious opening of creepy hiss and absurd reverse loops, followed by some poignant dubby chords, optimized for some ultimate bleak atmospherics, dreamlike textures and lynchian filmic qualities. Not so much as an afterword but rather as the track that epitomizes YEO feel, “Tropical Tape Transit pt. I & II” begins as a crap-rap abstraction with fragmented burlesque tricks over a steady beat that slowly evolves into a mesmerizing keyboard reverie applied over a soft kick drum.

Sitting in the twilight zone, somewhere between nervousness and uncanny exultation, “Yellow Equals One” is a truly sharp move that could serve as the finest soundtrack to a nocturnal cruise through dim-lit, desolate metropolitan suburbia.

– Short Bio

Turbo Teeth is the solo project by Giorgos Axiotis. The highly idiosyncratic, unstable and addictive sound of T.T, eventuates in transient deca-dance vignettes and consists of dysfunctional & fast tempo sliding cut-up rhythms, mangled loops, gonjo dance fantasies, dental hop dreams, and mutated mover spins.

Space Blanket – Kalémi


Limited edition of 300 hand-numbered copies on 180gr black vinyl, packaged in a silver offset printed sleeve, including a one-color poster printed on metallic paper.

Space Blanket present their first LP titled “ΚΑΛΕΜΙ” (chisel in Greek). The album consists of 8 tracks written and produced in Athens, Greece during a period of two years. With an affection for throbbing, single-note bass lines played on analog synthesizers and arpeggiated lead lines inspired by the 80’s era, Space Blanket tried to create a unified stylistic statement that holds comments on what has been at the forefront of their lives the past few years. From climbing big rockfaces to flying high with a parachute, from the political instability in Greece to major contradictions and inequalities people have to still deal with, it’s all there in the form of multiplexed sound waves and mathematics. With the invaluable contribution of Johny Tercu (Kooba Tercu) on vocals Space Blanket present you “KAΛΕΜΙ”.


Short Bio

Space Blanket is an electronic duo from Athens, Greece. Their debut EP “Cosmic” (2012), was released on 12’’ vinyl record and digital download and was welcomed by the press and music fans, giving Space Blanket the chance to carry out many gigs, always accompanied with real-time visual projections created from scratch and manipulated in real-time during their live shows. Their continuously growing reputation led them to open for the likes of Depeche Mode and Gramatik. The duo is also known for their ground-up reworks on tracks of completely different sound base, such as Rolling Stones’ Jumping Jack Flash’ and Kyuss ‘Green Machine’. Their sound is described as cosmic disco punk also containing nu-80s elements and is characterized by ponderous beats, low bass frequencies, aggressive but also melodic lines and outbursts of distorted guitars.

A1. The Providers
B1. The Providers (instrumental)

“The Providers” was originally released in digital format by Beatquick in May 2014 and re-issued in a limited 7” vinyl edition by Untitled-1 in May 2015.

Elephant Phinix rhymes smoothly over a down-tempo, slow boom bap beat produced by JK One, layered with mandolin and medieval choir samples. Mastered by Koebbel. Some would describe this track as contemplative. Elephant Phinix raps about life and the choices we make that ultimately define who we are.

After all,
“Life is what you make it, you better make it strong.
This is more than just lyrics on a song”.


Elephant Phinix

Born in 1986 in Sunderland, UK, home to The Black Cats, he moved to Athens, Greece, at an early age. He has always been a music lover but his attraction to the microphone grew out of free-styling over beats and laying down tracks with friends around the age of 18.

“Athens Burns” marked his early beginnings. The graffiti crew it represented helped him think out of the box and look at rapping from a more serious perspective, paying more attention to the lyrics.

In the past few years, he has opened for and played with bands and artists such as Jeru The Damaja, Evidence, Sadat X of Brand Nubian, Diamond D, 2Mex, B Real of Cypress Hill & Psycho Realm, Shabaam Sahdeeq, RA The Rugged Man, Supernatural, Shyheim, Madlib & J Rocc, Kool Keith, Kutmasta Kurt, Imani from the Pharcyde, CunninLynguists, Mr Lif, Loop Troop Rockers, Dj Vadim, Wax Tailor, Dub Pistols, The Herbaliser, Gramatik, Thavius Beck, Noisia, Chinese Man and Birdie Num Num.

 

JKone

JK One is a Vyronas kid at heart.  He’s a member of the Phase3 crew, formed in 2001. An MC and a producer, he’s been loyal to the mic and hip-hop culture for more than fifteen years. He’s a dedicated follower of boom bap and loves a grittier sound.

Jola 

Born in Karditsa in 1983, he currently lives and works in Athens, Greece. His work stretches all the way from graphic design, illustration, silkscreen printing and murals to documentary videο, renowned in the local underground graffiti and street art scene.

Elephant Phinix has collaborated with Jola quite a few times in the past. Jola’s artwork is displayed on “Patience is Gold” and “The Gutter Twinz” album covers, accompanied by limited, silkscreen printed apparel.
