It’s just about that hour when clawing at your face seems to be the right decision, but looking in the mirror later, you’re unsure what exactly happening, and maybe thinking you maybe made a mistake. Mouthing, this is unreal, this is unreal, this is unreal, this is unreal, this is unreal, this is unreal, this is unreal, this is unreal, this is unreal, this is unreal, this is unreal, this is unreal, this is unreal over and over. Unsure of where the origins of Tasos Stamou’s recent Discrepants LP/digital release Musique con Crète stems from, while taking the ride. A quest for meaning almost within, journeying to parts of your mind you never knew existed, and taking a stroll. It’s too late to back out now. Keep on walking this narrow path. Sturdy your stride, cowboy. Long way down before you bounce back up. Then you read the real adventure Tasos Stamou endured:
Tasos Stamou presents his most recent electroacoustic music project Musique con Crète. The project is the result of a three-year creative research project across Crete (GR). Starting with an artist residency the musician visited the Greek island over the course of three summers, collecting field recordings, performing with local musicians, producing electronic compositions and gathering old records and tapes of traditional music of the region. The project resulted in the assembling of a unique sound collage which reflects his personal experience as a music visitor to this part of the Mediterranean with one of the richest ancient history and living traditions.
