Additional information/sources for Yann Keerim – Ithaki

Yann Keerim is a Greek pianist and composer born in Ioannina, Greece in 1979. Yann has been playing the piano since the age of 4 when he started his studies in classical piano.

After moving to Athens at the age of 18, Yann started participating as a pianist in the band of the world class Armenian oud soloist Haig Yazdjian, a collaboration which influenced his music approach and aesthetics and also helped him develop a unique perception of the role of the piano next to Arabic and Eastern instruments such as the oud. Ever since then Yann has been performing next to artists such as Ara Dinkjian, Eleftheria Arvanitaki, Manos Achalinotopoulos and participating in numerous shows on stage and in concert halls all over the world (Carnegie, Sydney Opera, Odeon of Herodus Atticus, Berliner Philarmonic and many more).

In 2013 he recorded for ECM records as the pianist of the Sokratis Sinopoulos Quartet with the album “Eight Winds”. This was followed by another ECM Records release – the album Metamodal in 2019. Both albums were produced by the legendary Manfred Eicher. Yann has also made music for several adverts and films as he has been active on the music library market since 2005.

Additional information/sources for Chris Jobe – Talking With Your Eyes

Chris’s latest single, **“Talking with Your Eyes,”** delves into the mystery and intensity of falling in love, exploring the silent power of eye contact and the secrets it can reveal. Written and recorded during a transformative journey in the Costa Rican jungle, the track began with a hypnotic acoustic guitar riff, played in the reverb-rich kitchen of his *casita*. Using a cooking utensil container as a makeshift mic stand, Chris captured the haunting allure of classical finger-style picking blended with jazzy chords, embodying the magnetic pull of connection.

Inspired by the vibrant nightlife surrounding him, the lyrics reflect his observations of strangers trying on different stares—seeking love, escape, or something in between.

Entirely written, produced, and performed by Chris, this song marks the second of eight tracks he’ll be releasing in the coming months. Accompanying the single is a music video, set to premiere on **November 22, 2024**, featuring stunning visuals created with a USD70k projector and bold beachside shots that nearly ended in disaster.

Stay tuned for more from this compelling series of releases!

Additional information/sources for Ian Biggs – THE END

This song is about two people being grateful for the time they had together rather than lamenting that their time together is finite. It can be perceived both as the ending of a romantic relationship and also the end of the world.

“Poso Sou Moiazei” is a blend of Greek traditional music and experimental pop, crafted entirely by Demetria, who composed, produced, mixed, and performed the instruments on the track. Featuring the ethereal main vocals of Christina Teli, the song explores identity and legacy through a unique fusion of Greek music elements and weird alternative pop production. The lyrics speak about the modern fear of intimacy and connection in human relationships and how this leads us from actively living our lives to becoming passive observers.
