Alone by Giannis Arapis
These are three parts taken from the "Alone" performance live at TV Control Center (KET) on October of 2019.
"Μαύρο Καραβάνι" is completely improvised. The sound is based on the timbre of Mbira, produced by a prepared guitar, deconstructed by noise.
"Lonely woman" is a guitar version of the song Lonely Woman by the Ornette Coleman quartet that I made up. After the main theme, there's a lot of improvising that chases the melody.
"Encore" is the last part of the perfomance, where I came back to play something off the set, (again) completely improvised.
So that's my first solo release and I hope you'll enjoy it,
