Weighing the relevance of stability
(European Tour thoughts - 40 days on the road)

As always, when another melodic journey is coming to an end, the adventurer returns to a place that may now seem as every and any other place; a temporary base, and can do nothing less than poetically reflect on the recent experiences that placed the ego one step closer to the idea of what an open mind is, by noticing numerous differences in prospectives, and working on behavioural adjustments, while simultaneously contemplating on the root of continuous undisclosed desires and how these can change reality and its true colour in a glimpse of a second, inevitably shaping a character that becomes a little wiser on weighing the relevance of stability and is more determined to touch the possibility of daring to dream crystal thoughts of what future walks may unfold.

After playing with the exceptional gypsy jazz band The Ghost Notes, that included the release of 2 Albums and 3 European tours in 3 years (2012-2015), I am happy return to my solo project.

My first solo performance after all these years was at Bullet Club (Athens, GR), in November 2015, with Daniel Cavanagh (Anathema).

My next performance will take place at Ilion Plus (Athens, GR), on Friday the 25th of March 2016, at the 1st Caravan Sessions Festival.

Two radio interviews (in Greek) will be held prior to the concert.
