released October 16, 2010

Field recordings combined with electronic sounds, traditional pieces that are modified through improvisation, notes and sounds of the world transformed through an original jazz filter and many more that
have been reflected to this album. The roots of Kalkanis’s music in this album can be found in moments of everyday life, which, after a certain process, become artistic masterpieces that follow their own path. His thorough classical background coexists with digital technology; both serving his need to lead his music out of the box, where the pursuit of inspiration and actual sound are fragments and reflections of social reality. A really special moment of the album is the track ‘12 Evzonakia’ in which he dresses his grandmother’s traditional singing with electronic music.
