Alisachni

Recording this one was one of my best experiences in music, thanks to the wonderful musicians I had around. Alisachni is a greek word meaning “the brittle salt layer minutes left in the hollows of the rocks by the sea waves”. That’s how we envisioned the concept of music: a consequence of human movement, everlasting and unstoppable like the migrations of animals or the tidal currents. The quartet/quintet line-up melted in a sort of open group, giving birth to an album which is even more difficult to define than its predecessor. The track Yalistan was nominated for Best Spoken Word at the Independent Music Awards.

“A sound that is the explicit son of crossbreeds, migrations and encounters between cultures.” (Rumore)
