BaboDona, impro CD-trip with Aris and Vincent!

Hello!

SO, today I upload a really special CD with the name "BaboDona"that we had been working on with two friends in the past months. These two friends are Aris and Vincent. They are very good friends that live in London and study filmmaking in the same school. A couple months ago they visited me in The Hague for some days and, for some unknown reason, we started playing music and improvising every day. So, we thought, let's start recording everything and that's how this CD came out. For me, personally, it is very important because it was the birth of a lot of ideas that I used later for improvisation and a very inspiring period that gave me the motivation to start organizing some improvisation sessions. For Aris and Vincent, it is important for other reasons I guess cause it is something that we all did for the first time and had an amazing time discovering.

So you can download the cd here.
There is also a B-Side if you would like to listen more.
For the B-Side download go here.

You can also listen three of the tracks through soundcloud.





Two more things before saying goodbye. First, thanks to Sivan who is also taking part in some of the tracks.
Second, the cover was started in The Hague by the three of us, during a composition presentation (sorry to the person who was presenting!) and finished in Richmond park in London by Aris, Vincent, Pablo, Alkeos and Marilena.

Send me an e-mail for any info more or just to talk about it :) dimitrisathanas@hotmail.com
And fill in your e-mail on the top-right of the blog if you want to receive updates for my posts, there is a lot more new stuff coming very soon!

Good night!
Dimitris

Forty Rules To Make A Sound is coming!

A short video about "Forty Rules To Make A Sound"
video by Sivan Alajem
you can hear the voices of Joan and me

This is a cd I have been working on the past months with a lot of good friends. It is made of twelve tracks and we recorded every track with different friends. So, it worked this way; I had an idea which would be based on a word, a phrase or a small text and then we improvised on it. All the tracks are just music made with voice, except for two that have also some percussion. It is gonna be ready in the beginning of June and available on this blog to download for free. I will also make some copies now, but if you want one, you should better contact me at the end of the summer, when I will be back from travelling :)
