The foundation of “Polyphonis” was laid during a trip to the Balkans. The contact –and the subsequent comparison- with the multicultural confusion is combined with the musical experience of the past and the present, leading to the audio capture and reform of a theme cluster which moves in varying space and time. The different perceptions of natural, artificial and personal landscape contribute to the transcription of a subjective reality on which Polyphonis builds up. Aside from the landscapes of natural and artificial sound, human voice and polyphonic singing play a key role to the track’s structure. Polyphonis wouldn’t be complete without the contribution of the group “Dioni” (vocals were recorded and played back in multichannel) and the bites of the Albanian polyphonic ensemble “I nei tou Argirokastrou”.
