Projet “Création”

In Africa, the French term “création” is often used by musicians to denote a musical expression that departs from local tradition.

Thodoris Rellos, Vassilis Economidis and Jannis Anastasakis collaborate in a project influenced by the secret sound of the mbira (or African piano), a musical instrument from Zimbabwe.

Through electronic processing and improvisation, original compositions and repetitive dance patterns, influenced by African traditions, develop and create a contemporary musical language.
