Pieces (Album): Η αρμονική συνύπαρξη διαφόρων ειδών μουσικής, (Pop, Psychedelic, Electronica) σε σημείο να σου σπάει τα νέυρα λόγω της απλοϊκής τελειότητας των συνθέσεων του, και ένα απο τα καλύτερα άλμπουμ του 2012 (Inner Ear Records)
Baby Guru: ......... Απλά μια από τις κορυφαίες μπάντες εντός και εκτός συνόρων.
<<Για κάποια δευτερόλεπτα ξεχνιέμαι, και νομίζω πως το ακούω για πρώτη φορά λόγω της φρεσκάδας που το διακρίνει>>
Πόσο έυκολο είναι τελικά να ''φας'' κόλλημα με ενα κομμάτι δεν περιγράφεται.
Πόσο δύσκολο είναι να ''δέσεις'' αρμονικά τα Delta Blues με την Electronica και τα Dixieland με τις Post Rock κιθάρες, πάλι δεν περιγράφεται.
Αν και το τελευταίο φαντάζει εύκολο στα αυτιά μας, όταν το πραγματοποιεί ο Deadfile ( Βασίλης Παγράτης) ένας καλλιτέχνης από την Κέρκυρα, που με τις δημιουργίες του μας έχει εκπλήξει αφάνταστα.
Μην ξεχνάμε πως τον Τελευταίο καιρό δεν είναι πλέον μόνος του, σχηματίστηκε μια κολεκτίβα από αξιόλογους μουσικούς με το ίδιο όνομα (σίγουρα θα ασχοληθούμε και στο μέλλον μαζί τους) και σκοπό τον εμπλουτισμό της μουσικής, και εμείς είχαμε την χαρά να φιλοξενήσουμε μια από τις πολλές καλές συνθέσεις τους (Jericho). πριν δεκαπέντε ημέρες περίπου.
Προσωπικά κάθε φορά που ακούω το συγκεκριμένο κομμάτι ( This Hollow Land) νιώθω και πιο ''μαγεμένος'', και πιστεύω πως αν η Voodoo ήταν μουσική, αυτόν τον ήχο θα είχε...............Υποκλίνομαι στο ταλέντο σας!!!
Με τον Monsieur Minimal εχω ασχοληθει αρκετες φορες μεσα απο αυτον τον χωρο και παντα με αφηνε εκπληκτο κατι καινουργιο που ανακαλυπτα για αυτον. Ακριβως το ιδιο νιωθω και με το καινουργιο του album, ( Minimal to Maximal ), που απο το πρωτο κομματι με κερδισε ολοκληρωτικα. 16 συνθεσεις ( σε δυο μουσικα μερη) η μια καλυτερη απο την αλλη, το πρωτο μερος ειναι οπως το περιμενα, ο γνωστος μελωδικος, pop καλιτεχνης που τοσο πολυ μας αρεσε στις παλαιοτερες δουλειες του (lollipop, παστα φλωρα). Ποτε δεν φανταστηκα ομως πως στο δευτερο μερος θα ακουγα εναν καινουργιο ΄΄κυριο μινιμαλ ΄΄ με dark electro τασεις, post rock επιρροες και trip hop μελωδιες, χαλαλι λοιπον οι κριτικες απο τα ελληνικα και ξενα ΜΜΕ, τις αξιζει και με το παραπανω, και το μονο που μενει λοιπον να με θλιβει ειναι το οτι δεν τον εχω δει ακομα (λογο υποχρεωσεων ) ζωντανα στην σκηνη.
Οι Chromatic Sequence είναι ένα μουσικό σχήμα το οποίο γεννήθηκε στην Αθήνα το 2007. Ιδρυτής και συνθέτης του σχήματος είναι ο Γιώργος Στεφανακίδης, του οποίου το όραμα μοιράζονται εξαιρετικοί καλλιτέχνες. Το όραμα αυτό είναι η σύμπραξη δύο μουσικών κόσμων, αυτού της κλασικής και αυτού της ηλεκτρονικής. Το αποτέλεσμα είναι η δημιουργία ενός ήχου καινούργιου και πρωτότυπου που αποκτά ιδιαίτερες διαστάσεις όταν το βλέπει κανείς live! Το πρώτο πόνημα του σχήματος ήταν o δίσκος “7 μέρες μακριά” που κυκλοφόρησε το 2007 και παρουσιάστηκε σε συναυλίες που χαρακτηρίστηκαν για την ιδιαιτερότητά τους τόσο μουσικά όσο και εικαστικά. Ο πρώτος τους self-release δίσκος διανεμήθηκε δωρεάν στις συναυλίες τους και χαρακτηρίζει την ιδιαιτερότητα του σχήματος ως προς τη σχέση του με τη μουσική και το κοινό. Το 2010 οι Chromatic Sequence κυκλοφόρησαν το δεύτερό τους δίσκο με τίτλο “Allou Fun Dark”. Το έργο αποτελείται από σκοτεινά τραγούδια και κείμενα (γραμμένα από το Γιώργο Στεφανακίδη) που παρουσιάστηκε ως μουσική/θεατρική παράσταση στην Ελλάδα και το εξωτερικό. Το καινούργιο έργο του σχήματος με τίτλο “Belle Epoque” είναι ένα βήμα πιο μακριά στην μουσική αναζήτηση των Chromatic Sequence. Το κλασικό γίνεται κλασικότερο και το ηλεκτρονικό ηλεκτρονικότερο! Η ορχήστρα μεγάλωσε και οι μουσικές απαιτήσεις αυξήθηκαν. Οι μελωδίες μπλέκονται με τραγούδι, breaks, λούπες και ρυθμούς πειραγμένους δημιουργώντας ένα ηχητικό τοπίο που ακροβατεί ανάμεσα στο ambient και το noise χωρίς ποτέ να χάνει το μουσικό και μελωδικό του ενδιαφέρον. http://chromaticsequence.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/chromaticsequence

Με μουσικό alter ego το project Φανταστικοί Ήχοι που απέσπασε
ενθουσιώδεις κριτικές με την εμφάνισή του στο φετινό Synch, ο
Kitephonics δημιουργεί πολύχρωμα ηχητικά υφαντά, πάντα με
electronica/ambient βάση. Ως επί το πλείστον μελωδική και εσωτερική, η
μουσική του διαφεύγει κατηγοριοποίησης αφού από τη μία μπορεί να
δημιουργεί συναισθηματική techno με 4/4 beat επάνω σε αιθέριες μελωδίες
και από την άλλη να σαμπλάρει τη φωνή της Ελευθερίας Αρβανιτάκη για να
την εναποθέσει σε post-rock ατμόσφαιρες. Κομμάτια του έχουν
συμπεριληφθεί στη συλλογή City Campers, και στην forthcoming Radio
Lunatica της VIM Records.

Baby Guru is an ever evolving musical organism conceived by three
childhood friends, in a basement, at the end of 2009. Tired of the
typical rock band thing, they lay emphasis on spontaneity and unexpected
inspiration, while they cultivate an obsession with the kraut rock
legacy, psychedelic music and mama Africa percussion experiments. They
remain incurably charmed by the analog warmth of proto electronica
and the raw power of garage punk, while they demonstrate a driving
perspective of instictive grooves and vocal lines that range from
meditative to Dadaistic. They’ve spent 2010 performing live shows in
Athens and giving Yogi Sister EPs (vol.1 & 2) - a series of
primitive recordings - for free download. In 2011, they made a dynamic
comeback with their debut album, which was released on March 8th, via
Inner Ear. They also wrote the soundtrack for the theatrical play "Why I
Killed My Best Friend", directed by Vasia Attarian. Their sophomore LP,
"Pieces", is set for release in Autumn 2012.
