Content

Through the use of a back yard studio and an array of analogue instruments Sifantos produces his fourth official album; DIY aesthetics, noise tactics and pagan field recordings make up for Absurd Fiction. Seven takes of dark blues, Greek “rebetiko” and psychedelic rock deconstruct everything this record has to offer only to bring it all under the conscious surface. Absurd Fiction is not atmospheric, its a powerful and painful focus inwards.

Background

Theodore Sifandos was born in Athens on 1966. He studied guitar, harmony and composition at the national music college of Athens for two years and graphic arts at the Technological Institute of Athens. Founder member of the band Vinyl Junkies and producer of experimental music projects on Baltimore’s College Radio in the United States. He also worked as a radio producer for the third program of the national radio station & Top Fm. Member of the “Lill’ Red Ridinghood” radio station and Tv-producer for SevenX television in Athens. He wrote a series of articles for Pop & Rock and Reflex music magazines. Disc-jockeyed at several clubs in Athens through the 90’s. Sifantos creates his own music-persona under the Amnesia moniker. Sifantos’s approach to sound can be as ambivalent and as explorative as his past. He creates music that can barely be traced back to its roots or his influences.
