DYNAMEIS

Dynameis --We present you with an amazing album by unique composers, Alexandros and Rakesh Chaurasia titled ‘’ D Y N A M E I S’’.
Dynameis in Greek means Forces. Forces of nature, forces that surround us, guide us, affect us, overpower us and rule our lives. Forces that we need to master, but not conquer, in order to come in harmony with our very existence. The album presents in a breathtaking way how the force of sound can energize our lives and make us aware of the DYNAMEIS around us.
Close your eyes & enjoy...

FORBIDDEN MEMORIES

Forbidden Memories -The careful listener is taken on a mystical journey through the world of classical & jazz music - into the kingdom of life driven by exotic earth rhythms and melodic lines reminiscent of Alexandros's mediterranean origin in combination with various sonic expressions derived from synths, guitars, vocals, strings, horns, percussion, piano (inside-out), wild & real-life effects and earth sounds.
A team of great artists are collaborating in this ambitious multi-cultural work inspired & dedicated to the composer's ancient Hellenic conscience- the Pantheon. Completed in 1999.

SOUND SAMPLES:      INEVITABLE  PRIMAL MATTER                

ETERNAL Eternal - In moments of mental congestion & physical exhaustion it is time to close our eyes and draw within…-"Anass'Athena"(the Immortal Queen) was the ancient spirit of breathing in the Wisdom of All Ages…that is the moment to listen to our inner voice... this is the chance for contemplation & relaxation…this is a Healing experience. Ethereal, spiritual, tranquil, this work is dedicated to all the "Lovers of the Inward Wisdom". Completed in 1998.

SOUND SAMPLES: -
SPLIT INFINITY Split Infinity -Ground-breaking innovative and futuristic this work travels through paths which explore rare musical and mystical realms. Here you'll find works composed mostly for avant-garde theater/performance art, a field that in NY Alexandros has been a pioneer and acknowledged for.
Heavy synthesized orchestrations combined with advanced improvisation by all the musicians involved and ancient Greek poetry by Herakleitos (6th cent. bce) make this collection "one of a kind".
Completed in 2000.

SOUND SAMPLES:          KRISIS - UP TO LIFE
 
MYSTERY WOMAN Mystery Woman - A ritualistic collection of tribal grooves and vocals, percussion and horns, strings and synths, dedicated to the Goddess of Nature. She, sometimes is Artemis or Aphrodite,
Demeter or Mene (Mana), Cybele, Hera, Hestia, Athena etc. They All are an expression of the Sacred Feminine fountain of all life and this work will take you to an ecstatic celebration through powerful rhythms and harmonies.-A forthcoming release.

SOUND SAMPLES: -
EARTHBOUND - UNITY Earthbound Unity -Irreverent, risk taking this is the collective result of the five members of Alexandros's free improvisation orchestra. Alexandros (piano inside-out), Alex Foster (sax), Victor Jones (drums), Andy McKee (bass) and Steve Thornton (percussion) are the driving force (or the "Jazzstronauts" -Jazz Times, 4/1994) .Adventurous music for the advanced listener. Originally released in 1993 by Leo records (GB).

EARTHBOUND - JUSTICE Earthbound Justice -Continuing the tradition of Unity and with the addition of special guests Joe Berger (guitar), Valtinho Anastasio (vocals, percussion), Jay Rodriguez (shakuhachi flute) and Vesta Maxey (vibes), Justice claims to be at the forefront of Improvisation Music.
