As\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ereflections of the sociopolitical climate, the ongoing human rights struggles we witness, and the\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esuffering so many endure, Skourlis follows the theme of his highly acclaimed debut album Hades with\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003edistinct, thematic strength; a dualistic nature of beauty and of violence. Seeking balance and peace\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ewith abhorrent horror and inescapable strife, his sound is reflective of his mission statement.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGorgeous, unique vocal and electronic music with the decisive addition of the legendary\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHalldorophone clash with the decimating percussion by Serapheim G. Of legendary Greek heavy rock\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eband Planet Of Zeus evoking moments of both lucidity and discomfort. Be that of hopeful outcomes or\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eunfettered doom, the motion is there. Loops cascade in on themselves, implode, get lost in\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003efrequencies, and reemerge. Every work that Skourlis makes is oceanic in scale. Deep, cold sensations\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003efrom sub-bass butt up against sunbaked heat from high-pitched string ensembles. Although adjacent to\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eneoclassical composition, Skourlis finds the permutations between past musicalities and creates a\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003enew, distinct invention. It's a sound that could as well come from deep in your skull as much as it\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ecould come from the very back of a cave so deep you cannot see the end of it. It's the sound of a\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ebullet leaving a chamber and the sound of it entering bone. Constantine is, without a doubt, one of\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethe composers of the 21st century that will be reflected back upon, no matter what world is left for\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethe future.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWords by the Composer:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMy long-form works have an inevitable tendency to be marked and consequently inspired by socio\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epolitical events. My debut album HADES was haunted by the refugee crisis and the events that\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eunfolded as most of Europe stood in silence. With ETERNAL RECURRENCE I delved deeper into the abyss\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethat is the human psyche and the inevitable dualistic nature of beauty and violence. The eternal\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003estruggle for balance and the destruction that follows. One could describe the process of the\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ecomposition as an instinctive response to an imminent danger, a \"weapon\" of self healing amidst\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eglobal catastrophe. In a way it is a thread in the continuum of the inescapably social\/ political\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethemes that are infused in my perception of the purpose of Art and the role of the Artist as a\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esocial being capable of creating positive feedback loops that have the prospect of creating\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eawareness. Albeit it forges ahead on the clash between technology and spirituality and the deep\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eabyss that has been tunnelled as a result of society being pushed to a breaking point.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kudos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42984592867586,"sku":"BDNLP010V","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1402\/8591\/products\/cover.ki-2022-07-13T161805.800.jpg?v=1748332732","url":"https:\/\/www.wearerocksax.com\/da\/products\/constantine-skourlis-lp-eternal-recurrence","provider":"Rocksax - Official Music Merchandise","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
