Content
Tasos Stamou establishes a sonic bloodline with this new Ep, ascending from the point where “The Return of the long lost one” descended. 19 minutes of home-made tunes and riffs with sampling keyboard, looper, voice, prepared zither, households and snake charmer make up for this body of work, recorded between April and June 2013. This is highly motivated music, rigid and deeply expressive in its approach despite its antic façade.
Background
Tasos Stamou is a sound artist involved in electroacoustic composition and improvised music, currently based in London. During the past few years he explored and utilized several different mediums of original sonic creation into various recordings and performances; arrangements with self-modified sound toys and found objects, electroacoustic equipment (analogue synthesizer, DIY electronics, computer applications), vivid sonic performances and sound installations. Mostly as a multi-instrumentalist of free-improvised music, he has presented live sets in solo projects and in collaboration with other experimentalists and improvisors (London Improvisers Orchestra, Evan Parker, Adam Bohman, Valerio Tricoli, Kuupuu & Lau Nau, Nikos Veliotis) around venues and festivals for innovative music. Since 2008 he runs “kukuruku recordings”, an independent label for electroacoustic ephemeral sound works. He is currently involved in music composition and sound design for theater and film.
