now on bandcamp

'temporary perspectives' is now also available as a digital release, through bandcamp. You can get it from this page here http://thesorg.bandcamp.com/album/temporary-perspectives

bandcamp provides downloads in many formats, including lossless ones, so you can expect to enjoy all the qualities of the music itself at a budget price, and without having to wait for the postman to deliver the cd at home

all organized music from thessaloniki titles will eventually find their way to this platform, and i'm curious to see how much interest there'll be in this.

live tomorrow, at q-o2, brussels (BE)

6daEXIt Rehearsal 17-1-2011 from alexis porfiriadis on Vimeo.

during the past couple of months, i've been participating in the regular rehearsals held by the 6daEXIt improvisation ensemble here in thessaloniki (the name of the ensemble translates phonetically to the greek word for 66, while of course toying with the word 'exit'). The ensemble started off in 2007 at the local university, as the offshoot of a music improvisation course at the department of music studies. The group's actions have music as their point of departure, but regularly include live painting, dance and some playing with light as well. Along with two laptop musicians who joined-in at the same time as i did, we re-intoduced electronics into the enseble's palette, and as a result the improvisations are now examining new areas and of course different kind of relationships between sounds.

syndromes sister overdrive track in compilation

a track by 'syndromes sister overdrive' (my duo with giannis kotsonis, more here) is now available in the 2nd annual protos orofos compilation.

protos orofos is an anti-venue in thessaloniki greece. Its compilations are cds available from free locally, and as downloads from the venue's website here.

the syndromes sister overdrive track was recorded during our concert there in october 2009, and it's called "μωβ και πράσινο" (that's "purple and green" for all you non-greek folks).
