THANK YOU!!!!!!!
EXCELLENT!!
Wow.. seems very interesting. Sounds interesting too. But .. wait a minute.!! What is going on? Something strange happened in the compression (maybe). There is no greek language that -i'm greek and i suppose i understand greek!! Is like a dark metal vocals with an eastern raga music.. Is that? I doubt!!!
Can you check it again? Thanks
it's ancient greek :) from the original text...
Sure, ancient greek is completely different from greek we know and speak - apart from a lot of words. I'll look to find that cd in Athens in few days. I was very good in ancient greek when i was in high school (30 years ago..) and my wife is a teacher in ancient greek. (I am a physics & chemistry teacher anyway).
As i admitted before, to speak ancient greek, or better to read or play in a ancient tragedy using the ANCIENT language is another completely different thing. You may have right. And as i saw your interests, i think that you're a person who is looking far ahead. Keep up your good work!!
:)
PS If you're interested about Manolis Kalomoiris, just tell me
i suppose you mean him?
sure i'm interested. i din't have the chance to hear anything from his work.
yesssss..
That's the man.. I'll do my best to upload at least one album on weekend!!
This link is deleted too!!:(
could you please re-post this rare diamant?
i just uploaded it :)
i 'll upload every file that has been expired real soon
thank you a million times my friend.
may the semi-gods of Shareness be with you.
is there any other recordings from Retsos around?
indeed amazing outcome. a great find!
thank you for sharing
I wrote to my friends:
if, like me, you happen to be interested in music which is simultaneously primitive and sophisticated, then please allow me to recommend the music cum chanting of the Greek actor Aris Retsos and company
I first heard him this summer from an album owned by an American authentic movement teacher (not my bag of movement but that's by the by); I know little about him except that he seems to have decided to abandon a successful career as a cinema actor in order to found his own theatre (Polionimo in Athens) with the intention of recreating (presumably by imagination, given that no-one knows what ancient music sounded like) how ancient Greek theatre and music sounded; unless you understand Greek (maybe even if you do) this is like being at someone else's monotonic, hypnotic ritual, perhaps Tibet in winter or some bleak Japanese island, or Magma played by Michael Gira and slowed down 5 times, except it's contemporary Greece, but me, I find it fascinating, and unlike anything else of its type I can remember hearing
Wow, looks wild. Thanks, and I hope you return soon!
