music STATHIS KALYVIOTIS, lyrics KRISTI STASSINOPOULOU
Greek singer, lyricist and fiction writer Kristi Stassinopoulou continues to pilot her own path into global consciousness. With one foot firmly planted in Greece's traditional folk rhythms and melodies and the other pointed towards a fresh mixture of future electronica, ambient, and 60's psychedelic rock, "The secrets of the rocks" delves deep into Kristi's iconoclastic realm of the mystic and reveals a thrilling, high energy, moving, mesmerising series of tracks,enriched by tantalizing sound textures and ethereal vocal lines. Employing such traditional instruments as saz, flutes, bagpipes, lyre & nay, Kristi, "an Adriatic version of Bjork...", "reminiscent of Marta Sebestyen...", "greek version of Hedningarna...", - as been described by reviewers - blends her greek influences into a genre-defying, neo-hippie fusion of world music. The "Secrets of the Rocks" were first written on remote Aegean beaches, and are dedicated to those who are eventually losing their free natural space, to the kind of people who are being chased off by "civilization".
