Yannis Kyriakides - "Antichamber" (2010)












Yannis Kyriakides is a composer of contemporary classical music, and sound art. His music explores new forms and hybrids of media, synthesizing disparate sound sources and highlighting the sensorial space of music.

The pieces on "Antichamber" combine conventional instruments with technology that amends, enhances, obstructs or complements their sound. On the opening track the sound of an acoustic sextet is gated by means of telegraph keys. "Zeimbe lriko" presents a gradual dialogue between violin and electric guitar, interspersed with crackling echoes of Turkish traditional music, excavated from an old recording. "As They Step Into The Same Rivers" is scored for viola, contrabass and iPod shuffle.
