Filippos Raskovic: “Understone” solo piano
On the occasion of the release of his latest LP, “Understone”, composer and pianist Filippos Raskovic improvises on the piano, mixing styles that may initially seem disparate. His interpretations focus on harmonic and repetitive patterns. They are inspired by free improvisation, jazz, contemporary classical music as well as by Debussy, Ravel, Messiaen or Reich.
Filippos Raskovic is a composer and improviser from Athens, Greece, based in Vilnius, Lithuania. He often collaborates with visual artists, focusing on the acoustics of objects, sculptures, and spaces. In 2021, he completed the performative installation “Echo Chambers” in collaboration with the sculptor Dimitris Tampakis. He has also co-created “Post-European Rage Room” with the UnProcessed Reality collective, a performance shown at Centrum Berlin. He is a founding member of illucid trio, and in 2019, he co-founded the KRAMA collective and festival.
