Debut Album Release
‘’I am very thrilled to announce the release of my debut album, Amorphous Odyssey, available on every streaming platform and on CD! This is a concept album, a journey through natural disasters and despair, leading towards consolation and hope! Modern harmonies with volatile rhythms, elements from East and West, and traditional and contemporary sounds create the ultimate musical journey for the listener. We are very happy to have the amazing David Binney and Panagiotis Andreou as special guests on the album!’’
‘’In August 2021 I was back in Cyprus having a night walk when the melody of Earthshake, the
album’s first song, started playing in my head. Having experienced the pandemic too, I felt the need
to make this album, a sonic journey that can relate to everyone. I wanted to combine frequencies,
sound, rhythm, and create this experience. To see light, we need darkness.
Amorphous Odyssey is a journey through natural disasters; any type of obstacle leading to
suppression, consolation, and hope. Every song constitutes the next chapter of the story. Eleftheria
(Freedom in Greek) marks the positive end of this Odyssey. ‘’
