This cover song "Directions" originally written by Nahko and Medicine for the People was performed live by Marlia project in May 2019 at the Collective Movement festival, Cyprus.
Collective Movement is a three-day mind, body, spirit and entertainment event. Our love for nature and life brings us to our 3rd event. During this weekend you will be given the chance to meet the team at Collective Movement. Through our events we aim to develop our connection to nature and therefore have always opted for beautiful outdoor locations. This year we are hosting our event, on 17-19 May 2019, at Tris-Elies, an eco-village in the mountains of Cyprus. We will work with the locals to revive the community while respectfully using their beautiful outdoor spaces to hold the activities, lessons and workshops.

"Άσε τη ζωή να λιώνει μέσα στα χέρια της σαν χιόνι..."
Cover song from Xylina Spathia [Στον Βράχο] by Marlia project
OK so my performance at HUG - Hungarian Handpan & Worldmusic Gathering in Hungary 2019 was over and people wanted one more song.
The stage manager said no.
Szombathelyi Patrik from HUG stepped in and asked him to do one more song.
Hernán Suárez Music was already on stage on calabash and percussion.
Patrizio Castrovinci was already playing flute and hulusi with me in the previous song, along with Vértes Marcell who improvised on trumpet with us.
I asked them to stick around on stage with me, although they had not heard the song ever before and this is result of our improvisation.
Towards the end there is an impromptu moment when I decide to join the crowd off-stage and so you cannot hear the guitar & voice at this point because I took the cable out, finally leading to my return on stage and closing of the song and the performance.
Many thanks to all beings involved to make this happen.

Today's Libra full moon is helping out with the official release of my new song "Palisandros" (meaning "Rosewood", one of the main kinds of tonal wood used in traditional instrument-making), which I have been procrastinating for some time now, because of how vulnerable and exposed it makes me feel in a lot of many different ways.
First and foremost, singing in my native Cypriot dialect; this is the first song I have written in Cypriot. It brings tears to my eyes every single time. Partly I know why; partly I am waiting to explore..
Secondly, there is nothing fancy about this recording; yet the story is interesting: I conceived the melody 3 years ago while rehabilitating from a knee surgery and being hosted in Greece by my dear friend & exceptional guitarist Bill Stathopoulos, I wrote the lyrics while trying it on the piano of my brilliant songsister Arianna Tondo ヅ in Italy, I recorded it with special creature's Benjamin Hedengran Andersen classical guitar in a soundproofless hut in India, I used the chimes, rattles, cajon and djembe belonging to multi-talented musician and top-notch father David Esteban, while shooting the video in the wilderness of the Philippines with charismatic and tribal soulsister Dona Tumacder-Esteban, finally mixing and producing it in the company of my dogs in Cyprus.
Lastly, I would like to dedicate this song to mother Earth and the four elements. And I would like this song to be a reminder to all of us: That no matter how tough people wish to look on the outside, remember there is a soft, tender and sensitive part somewhere deep inside them, that got trapped there for one reason or another. By all means, it wants to come out. If only we give it a chance, it wants to come out. And each one of us can help somebody else bring their trapped part out and breathe again anew. Each one of us can help another person lift that weight off their shoulders. There is surely a way. Each one of us is a key to unlock the buried stuff lying deep in s
The idea of this cover song is to mix the traditional Bulgarian 5/8 song about Gyura who goes down to the river with the Medicine song by Rising Appalachia, which is actually a reggae-style song, "honoring the traditions of folk medicine; plant-based medicine as a tool for empowerment and healing.
It is a call to action to support the voices of the herbalists, healers, and teachers… the roots, plants, trees, and stones… the arts, the spirits, and the wild ones.
It is an honoring of all the many ways that we can be well, and the radical and traditional ways in which we can steward health within ourselves.
This song is a direct tribute to the people around the world who are holding and teaching these ways of herbal plant-based medicine, educating us all to know our gardens, our forests, our plants and our own bodies... to bring wellness back into our own hands and communities. It is not a dismissal of modern medicine, but a gratitude and honoring of its ancestry and foundations within folkloric traditions.
As we are moving into a new season, a new time, and a new chapter, we offer this song as a ritual anthem for this transition and time of great change. " ~ Rising Appalachia

This track has been recorded in a single track, single recording, outdoors in the guesthouse's rooftop where I stayed in Varanasi, India last December 2018.
The handpan is a Cm SpaceDrum belonging to my dear friend Benjamin Andersen.
There are sounds & noises within the track from the buzz of Varanasi; I have not attempted to clear the track from the monkeys, the builders next door or my friend's mobile phone ringtone!
I have only added some effects, such as rotor sound and delay to the existing handpan's natural sound.
The whole 20-minute-long song is an improvisation inspired by life and music in Varanasi.

Greetings to the family!
After making the decision to fulfil my current 4-month-long Indian/Asian/NZ tour without any other instrument but my voice, this is what I could come up with during my very-much-indeed musical stay in Pai, Thailand, right after the PanSiam gathering 2019.
In one of our days there with Leon Christian Karmameleon, between open mics, music performances, singing workshops, private vocal lessons, bonfire circlesinging, spontaneous street/stage improvising, scooter riding and hot spring indulging, we met Tommaso Caenazzo (the owner of this handpan @432hz) at our favourite chai shop and thought we could work a bit on 11/8, plus instrument plus voice!
There is a much better video version with regards to the quality of music & sound, however this one is hilarious - at least to me! - so I decided to post this one.
Thanks @Stephanie Bender for the nomination!
I Love You and can't wait to see you at HONA2019!

This video was shot just once with 2 simultaneous cameras and a Zoom Q2N recorder, improvising with instruments such as guitar, handpan Annaziska C#, shruti box, percussion, chimes, bells, natural sounds and the Voice.
I am also using Boss RC202 for loops and effects, Freeze by Electroharmonix, Delay by TC Electronics and Analog Tremolo & Reverb pedal by Strymon, as I wish to recreate long, sustained sounds from the guitar.
Next time you have 40 minutes, connect a good pair of speakers or headphones to your device, sit back and enjoy the journey.
Our Voice is the King Instrument, we can do anything and everything we want with it, when we learn how to use it efficiently and effortlessly.
Bending time, transcending realities, switching to higher vibrations

On 23rd December 2018, a group of friends & strangers, students & teachers, Europeans & Indians, got together for an experimental, sacred, high-energy JAMily concert at a vegan restaurant in Varanasi, India. This is an excerpt of our language of music!
At minute 7, on a totally different context, I was inspired to lay down some vocals with lyrics from the Cypriot traditional song "Ela korou na doume ta mavra sou ta mathkia".
The video includes our journey from the guesthouse to the venue with our instruments and our smiles, through holy Ganga river!
Besides our Indian Classical Music studies with our masters during our stay in Varanasi that month, we were inspired to put forward a methodological tool, called THE ELEMENT KEY SYSTEM, which is essentially a sign language for musicians to use in order to conduct one another while improvising with music; and expanded to applications to life itself!
Stay tuned for more info and Element Key workshops throughout Europe in the summer 2019!
