Live - songs description
This is the video of our full performance in Lindos the 18th of June 2023. The video starts with sound check and an introduction speach by Lynn Fearn the event organizer, how she met me and how she met the whole band. She gives a very emotional speech on how this band was formed. I really had tears in my eyes with her speech, it means a lot to all of us...
Then we start our performance - the live starts with
1.DANCING WAVES/DARK DAYS - a 25 minutes piece called DANCING WAVES/DARK DAYS, it was writen 3 years ago and was planned to be played in a festival - DARK DAYS - a very personal song about dark days that we can all go through, i had my dark years recently ...the boys loved it and we all worked on it. However, i need to say that there is a technical issue with my guitar on the 20th minute mark, my main guitar is an american fender stratocaster - lone star, the guitar got detuned- i ll give it yo my guitar tech asap to get it fixed - it lasts for for 5 minutes. Dark days is a very personal song expressing a bad emotional experience i had and it took me few years to heal and to get back on my own two feet - bad - fake relationships- covid 19, obstacles, struggle, frustration, pandemic - isolation - financial issues - unsecurity - loneliness
2. Then we enter into an energetic song = ICE BERG - a challenging instrumental , the riffs were written 4 years ago during an other music project i had, The Appolo Pythian experience. I kept the music and worked it through with the band last winter, after of loads of hard work the 3 of us finalized it. Its a heavy and tough song , and Rush was the main influence for it, they are a huge influence on my guitar approach. The song then slides to the more psychedelic melodic ending section for the guitar solos, in which the bass and drums build a solid rhythm kick, thus lifting the whole guitar solo.
3. Playing SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS - PINK FLOYD , Pink Floyd are a major influence, and saucerfull of secrets was the first ''long '' piece of music they wrote ...thus leading them into the more progressive era. We aim to do more covers from progressive rock bands in the near future.
4.FALLING FROM THE SKY was writen in January 1st 2023 after midnight - a challenging piece of music with many tempo changes, modulations and different sections/parts - i wrote it sitting alone in my shop not been in a celebration mood, but focusing on my emotions/music rather than going out for news years ev., party, the music idea is based on something that is running with high speed up in the sky and crushing on earth...guess what...UAP s.... or UFO s , theres a lot of fuzz about it lately. I am very much interested in these stuff, both as a scientist and very sceptic about the whole UAP phainomena, especially when scientists and pilots are mentioning them in their reports....i m sure that there is something strange happening...not ''aliens'' but a technology hidden from us....
5. SIN CITY - Is a song i wrote 5 years ago, initialy for the Apollo Pythian Experience band project , a previous project i had, however i present it to the band and they all loved it, so we all worked on it to its final form with a major input of all us- a song talking about a man leaving a blues / jazz bar in the night and a woman approaches him in a dark road...leading to a mistery time. Its our bassist favourite song in which he also wrote the lyrics of the ending part after the main
