tasos stamou, ilan manouach

cdr

ilan plays soprano & sopranino saxophones, tasos plays singing bowl, objects, loops, toy instruments, whistles, etc. recorded live at Despo Papastathi's mansion in Amfissa on May 22, 2009.

occasionally an impromptu event will take place in despo papastathi's house that will bring up more & new ideas to work on... it might be a theatrical piece that we'll improvise, a party, a gig, whatever... or an impressive set of difficult musics to create an intoxicating atmosphere... such was that night that ilan manouach (sax, reeds, etc) and tasos stamou (effects, electronics, toys, etc) lo-fi soundscapes or more haunting atmospheres, improvised textures of ilan's skill reminding us fave ones (both his & ours) like michel doneda, evan parker, steve lacy, e.a. or tasos's unique play with toys and electronics that crafted an awesome night... as such it is documented.

now available.
