Κώστας Παντόπουλος - Κωστής Δρυγιανάκης – Ο Μύθος του Πενθέα (Costas Pantopoulos - Costis Drygiannakis - The Penteus Myth)

 

Ο Μύθος του Πενθέα = The Penteus Myth (Album, Limited Edition, Numbered) album cover

In the 1980s Costis Drygiannakis played in an electronics group called Optical Musics (check here). Costas Pantopoulos was another member of the group and this is a collaboration they recorded in 1989, which centers around heavily percussive MIDI electronics with big ethnic influences, which would probably make a good soundtrack to a documentary or something. 2019 cd on Hxoi Kato Apo To Spiti.

Κωστής Δρυγιανάκης ‎– Ο Χονδρός Και Η Κατσιάνη Στο Βουνό (Costis Drygiannakis - Chondros and Katsiani on the Mountain)

 

Didn't plan to take me such a long time to get back to posting, but things haven't been exactly well. Probably had the worst summer of my life, I don't see life getting any better soon. Thanks to everyone who asked about me, sorry for not replying.I haven't heard to much music either, when I have the time I'd rather listen to ASMR videos on youtube (or even watch old NBA highlights).

Costis Drygiannakis is a top-class Greek avant-garde composer (I think Bleak Bliss has posted some of his other releases in the past) and this is a dizzying cello-weird electronics-fucked percussions electroacoustic masterpiece bordering Greek folk music at times, drone and everything in-between, with vocal contributions from Alexandra Katsiani and Thanasis Chondros (hence the title) from weirdo Greek band Dimosioypalliliko Retire. First released in 2006, this is the 2019 re-release on Rekem Records.
