A person in the midst of the whirlpool of the two: Love and the fear of Death.
The theme of music has always dealt with the most primal and essential issues of human existence. Based on these two dominant forces, Love and Death (Epsilon and Theta), traditional songs were chosen, mainly from the region of Greece but also from neighboring countries, sometimes with a minimalistic approach and other times through experimental jazz.
The primordial sound of the human voice connects the past with the present and the future. It firmly holds the thread that links the person of Then with the person of Today. With respect to the lyrics of the anonymous folk poet and the directness of simple traditional musical motifs.
