Vyron Katritsis — “3 Pieces”

Vyron Katritsis presents at KET the work “The rot at the heart of Greece is now clear for everyone to see” that was released in winter as well as two unreleased compositions.

#1 “Piano Variations”

A piano loop is repeated over and over again, ever changing until it becomes completely unrecognizable. Without the addition of any other sound, the melodic material is constantly worked to disappear and give way to an indeterminate sonic environment in which chance plays a predominant role.

#2 “The rot at the heart of Greece is now clear for everyone to see”

Released digitally last winter. In this work, inspired by the current political situation regarding the state surveillance scandal, a few minutes of improvisation in an organ is transformed into a drone symphony that is surreptitiously built using parastatal materials such as parasites, noise, spinoffs and secret sound effects.

#3 “Mariner 108”

“Mariner 108” is another unreleased work. Constructed with the minimalist technique, it constantly goes on an uncertain journey just like a sailor lost in the vastness of the sea and his mind.
