from Oannes *

Το γαλλικό avant garde σχήμα έχει περάσει από πολλές μεταμορφώσεις από το 1969, έχοντας σταθερό πυρήνα του τον βιολιστή-συνθέτη Gérard Hourbette και τον μπασίστα Thierry Zaboitzeff. Η μουσική τους χαρακτηρίζεται από μεγάλη γκάμα επιρροών, ασυμβίβαστα προσωπικό στίγμα και εντυπωσιακή, prog καταβολών αμεσότητα παρά την απουσία κρουστών οργάνων.

✻

The French avant garde outfit has gone through many transformations since 1969, around a basic core consisted of the violinist-composer Gérard Hourbette and the bassist Thierry Zaboitzeff. Their music is characterized by a wide range of influences, uncompromisingly personal style and impressive immediacy prog oriented, despite the absence of percussion instruments.

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
