Το Πάνω Σπίτι | Athens, AT

Suspended between maqam, noise, hypnotic rhythms and sound design, this wide formation will gather soon at Pano Spiti to honour mediterranean and middle-eastern traditions as much as their own transfiguration; a rich network of intertwined musical relationships which converges into a unique collective performance.

Multi-instrumentalist, percussionist and producer of Apulian origins, Daniele De Santis is also known for his activities as sound engineer and curator, especially within the realm of Dromoscope platform. Perpetually in refinement, his peculiar musical language is enrooted in the mediterranean and middle-eastern traditions as much as in instant composition and abstract electronica, while also feeding in a spontaneous crafting of experimental sound devices and original instruments. A research particularly prominent in the augmented percussions of Prepared Drums, or in the sophisticated atavism of GRÜN’s electrical machinery. Daniele counts appearances for international festivals such as Berlin Atonal, CTM, Strøm, PHONO, Irtijal, Terraforma, SeaNaps, NUMACircuit.

Dario Papavassiliou divides his interest between traditional Middle Eastern string instruments (oud, santur and others) and electric organs; currently, he is exploring the harmonic and textural possibilities offered by Eastern Mediterranean and Middle Eastern tuning systems using a modified quarter-tone organ as well as more traditional acoustic instruments.
