Colourful Emptiness

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Behind each composition that comprises Colourful Emptiness, lies the need to search for a sense of wholeness and serenity within the vastness of space and stillness of time. I wish the album will transmit this feeling to its listeners.

    These pieces have gradually taken form over the course of the past ten years. Born as simple ideas on the piano, they naturally grew through experimentation and improvisation; inspired by my relationship with the people I love.

    In playing and listening to those ideas, repeated cycles evolved in which I found myself wrapped with music that radiated an emotion of fulfilment.
    The final compositions for piano, guitar and violin hold the simplicity and honesty of the initial inspiration and its emotions.

    I am deeply grateful to be accompanied by two very close friends and talented musicians; Odysseas Toumazou on guitar and Savvas Lagou on violin, who embraced the music with love and approached these compositions artfully. I am also extremely thankful to Marios Takoushis who recorded and processed the sound with tasteful sensitivity, and Johnny Avraamides for his imaginative and detailed artwork and album design.

    To my beloved grandfather, Nicholas.
