Μέλος του February born musicians club και ο παραγωγός, μπασίστας και συνθέτης Bill Laswell. Έχει οργανώσει & συμμετάσχει σε δεκάδες projects και χιλιάδες ηχογραφήσεις που καλύπτουν ένα τεράστιο φάσμα από την jazz και το funk μέχρι το dub, το punk, το drum&bass και το metal. Αλλά και την …όπερα. Τον ακούμε εδώ να προσεγγίζει με ήπια αποδομητική και jazzy διάθεση μια άρια από την Tosca του Puccini. Από το The Redesign, άλμπουμ που κυκλοφόρησε το 2000 ως Operazone.

Producer, bassist and composer Bill Laswell is another member of the February born musicians club. He has organized/participated in dozens of projects and thousands of recordings, covering a huge range of music, from jazz and funk to dub, punk, drum&bass and metal. But also …opera. Here he is, in jazzy mood, mildly deconstructing an aria from Puccini’s Tosca. From The Redesign, album he released in 2000 as Opera Zone.

* 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!
