Sound engineer & mix: Beata Jankowska-Burzynska Mastered in Studio Odeon by Ilias Lakkas Symbiosis in music is for me the way of coexistence of different musical cultures. This coexistence ­symbiosis is the goal of my activity as a composer. Odysseas Konstantinopoulos Greek music tradition… Centuries, in this troubled and trampled by invaders land (ironically identical to that of Poland), our people with pain and passion, weaved rhythmic and tonal patterns with so much complexity, as much as temperament, that’s the truth. Getting mature, as humans as well as artists ­musicians, our need to communicate our musical heritage became increasingly gigantic. How much more blessed would have been this situation then. This “recording” marriage of two cultures. Our soul searching confession, two outlying studies, our two versions in loving “essences” of Greek land. With deep love and respect. AnimaCorda
