l Myrsini Bekakou Ensemble / Monta Tupčijenko Trio (Band Night)
The content on this page was translated automatically.
"Lost Seas" by Myrsini Bekakou unfolds as a suite about the gradual loss of the marine world as a result of overfishing, environmental pollution and the increasing exploitation of marine habitats. Drawing on the coastal landscapes of Crete and the changes observed over the years, the music carries a quiet melancholy and nostalgia: memories of a sea that once seemed clear and untouched, related to the light-heartedness of childhood. Elements of Greek music characterize the language of the work. To mark her final examination in composition, Myrsini Bekakou presents her ensemble of string quartet, guitar, double bass and percussion; composition and improvisation open up a view of Mediterranean timbres.
Singer and composer Monta Tupčijenko presents her progressive rock and jazz fusion project "Monka". An artistic heart project of five musicians emerged from a long matured idea, supported by a coincidentally discovered common musical interest: a shared sound world between art-pop, complex rhythms and energetic rock aesthetics. The music oscillates between fragile melancholy and eruptive aggression; dark synthesizer pads meet driving grooves, expressive vocal lines meet improvisational openness. Compositional precision is combined with spontaneous energy - emotionally immediate, structurally sophisticated. Inspired by Björk, Anja Garbarek, Fall Out Boy, The Bad Plus and Tigran Hamasyan.
