Plain History (Cyprus)
Plain History is a collective of musicians who
improvise using analogue synths, bass, flute and
loop stations. At the festival, Plain History pre-
sented the project
Feykos
, which was prepared
especially for this performance, and includes
tape narration and live looping.
M.Edo (Cyprus)
Emiddio Vasquez Hadjilyra’s music is motivated
by the fundamental principles behind audio ma-
nipulation in sound design and how they can be
attained with a guitar and a few pedals, creating
displaced rhythms, folded melodies and accom-
panying harmonics.
Parallel Actions:
Arampas (Cyprus)
Arampas is a band comprising Giorgos Ioan-
nou and Sofronis Sofroniou. They presented an
audio-visual project entitled
Robot
, which was
based on an idea by RaissaAngeli and centres on
the complexity of the human brain and some of
the dimensions through which it can be “heard”.
Giorgos Ioannou was also in charge of the visual
design of the festival.
Raissa Angeli (Cyprus)
Raissa Angeli is a Cypriot artist who has been
trained in Sculpture and Painting at the Academy
of Fine Arts in Prague. She provided a visual aid
for some of the festival’s acts, in the form of a live-
action painting show. Her performance was based
on improvisation and had strong ties to the live
looping technique, as she strived, in real time, to
take elements from each looping artist she accom-
panied and use them to build a final piece of art.
Ficus Microcarpa: the void of the distance 01
Τhe video presented at the festival was a part
of the collaborative project
Untitled Dualism
by Lito Kattou and Leontios Toumbouris. The
video projects an almost static image of two ele-
ments, an empty flower pot and the trunk of a
Ficus Microcarpa, a tree that is frequently found
in the centre of Nicosia.
