> One of the main reasons for not making my own music is that everything I play hasn't managed to sound unique. Since all the good songs haven't been written yet, and I'm not a good writer, it seems enough to discover other people who actually are. Two of those people are also responsible for Free Piece of Tape and, here, they deliver 8, mainly free improvisational, tracks with the warmth of Monopoly Chid Star Searchers and with themes that sometimes make you wonder if they are using the same drugs as Angus MacLise did. Plus, they seem to like greek underground as two of their pieces are based upon samples by Nikos Ksilouris and Kostas Bezos. (((Awe)))some-ness. In case you're not convinced yet, the 7th track consists of probably the smartest way to use a dub theme among drones. Yes, dub. Yes, it's great. At least Lee 'Scratch' -Trismegistus- Perry would appreciate it. And I do, too.

>“Dubud,” begings with echoed static and high-pitched oscillations, then adds fractured bursts of dub rhythm, which seem to be edited offbeat on purpose to trip up anyone who thinks they’re going to be in for a smooth groove. This abstract rhythm gets looped and mutilated, along with some feedback that may or may not be a distorted melodica. I’m sure most reggae purists would cringe in horror upon hearing this piece, but to me it sounds like a fascinating step outside the boundaries, taking familiar ideas and experimenting with them to create something new.

*"burning school" official music clip*

> shot during a carnival fest at Galaxidi on ash monday in 2008. The track is based on an audio sample of an old greek song "kaike ena scholio" where there is a reference to Galaxidi in its lyrics. That's why I chose to combine this old audio reference along with a contemporary view on people at Galaxidi. The juxtaposition of shots is not a result of detail editing. The footage is actually shot in a constant flaw of tiny portions of pictures. I just took out most of the wide shots where the visual information tented to be more descriptive. Focusing in details and close ups offers the oppurtunity to create another kind of reality through the video camera due to the out frame information which exists but you never see it. In addition, viewer's mind always try to imagine and compose the extra out of frame information resulting in either a creative viewing experience or in a complete confusion and misleading making viewers close the browser's tab during the first 15 sec and get no more views in your youtube page for ages!!!!
