Spectacular Little Corners
In the Spectacular Little Corners concert, improvisational music meets instrumental composition through two unique performances.
Lambros Psomas – Solo double bass
Lambros Psomas presents an acoustic set that moves in a wide range of improvisational music, with the music of Barre Phillips, Henry Grimes and Charlie Haden as main influences. His sound explores the dynamics of the instrument, creating soundscapes that balance between the abstract and the melodic.
Room Conductor – “Spectacular Little Corners”
Room Conductor (Odysseas Tziritas, Giorgos Karoubalos) present “Spectacular Little Corners”, a collection of eight compositions for classical and electric guitar. The initial inspiration for the project came from the albums of Daniel Santiago and Pedro Martins (Simbiose, Movement), while influences from artists such as Fabiano do Nascimento and Shin Sakakubo were subsequently incorporated.
