I would like to thank four very special people to whom I owe this album. My teacher Πάνος Γκιων and my distinctive friends and remarkable musicians Noël Akchoté, Alex Zethson and Κώστας Καγκελάρης.

This majestic painting is by Konstantina Dimoula and it deals with the unpleasant feel of staying awake due to stressful thoughts.

Recorded, mixed and mastered by George Christoforidis May 2020 at Ignite music studios Athens, GR

reviews :

"In the account of the Greek guitarist’s sleepless nights coexist torment and ecstasy, a solid performative foundation and a fragile abandonment to certain hidden creative pockets of which, perhaps, he’s not entirely aware. Be that as it may, the outcome of these reconnaissance is disorienting and uncanny, a meta-musical thrill to which a similar state of half-sleep could superimpose surreal visions to no end."

"All these elements flow organically and are weaved beautifully with bluesy veins and free, abstract improvisations. Arapis can sing, dance and juggle many references with his guitar as he keeps sketching engaging and ecstatic melodies on mini-suites s like «Γιατί μου μιλάς έτσι» and «Προσαγωγέας»."
