RETE / Millions Of Dead Tourists
RETE consists of Savvas Metaxas (Inverz / Good Luck Mr. Gorsky) and Vassilis Liolios (Eventless Plot), both members of Granny Records. Using modular synthesizers, tapes, samplers, field recordings, objects and sounds from drum and cymbal surfaces, they create electroacoustic compositions, exploring similarities and contrasts between physical and electronic sound. So far they have performed in various venues and released three albums: “Ακινησία” (Granny, LP), “Temporal” (DasaTapes, CS), “RETE” (Granny Records, CS).

Millions Of Dead Tourists is a four-piece band based in Athens and Thessaloniki. They use and tinker with two basses, a drum machine, various synthesizers, pedals, a laptop and, most recently, a microphone. Their music is characterized by the unholy marriage of dark technoid basslines, rhythms and noises with an “in your face” punk approach. However, they themselves describe it as bass class electronics. They have released three albums: “Yγιείς” LP/CD (1000+1 Tilt / Won Ton, 2023), “Helicoide” LP/CD (1000+1 Tilt, 2019), “Millions Of Dead Tourists” CD (1000+1 Tilt, 2016).
