Conversation Helps by Dimitris Tsakas
The concept for this album was born during a rehearsal with my friends and musical partners, Alex and Kimon, as we explored the themes of composition, performance, and creativity in Greece. Through our discussions, I realized that “Conversation Helps.”
Thank you both for your incredible musicianship, interaction, and support. This album wouldn’t have been possible without you.
A special thank you to Theodore Bafaloukas and Dimitris Fytas for helping me bring this album to life.
Special thanks to my mother, Eleni Tsaka, for allowing me to use her painting "Genesis."
