Within the post-pandemic period, at the least in these components of Europe, there nonetheless
exists the fun of catching the vitality of stay music. One of many many
outcomes of the Covid dystopia is that it left us in Greece with only a few
alternatives to get pleasure from a, for a however marginalized music as John
Dikeman put it earlier than the gig, stay act.
This Balkan (because the Damianidis’ brothers come from Greece and Skoric from
Serbia) with a bit of assist from America alliance is Dikeman on tenor
saxophone, Skoric on the drums, Giotis Damianidis on electrical guitar and
Petros Damianidis on the double-bass. The first leg of their tour began
in Thessaloniki and it’ll take them to Northern Macedonia, Serbia and
Bulgaria.
The 4 of them performed for the primary time as a quartet, despite the fact that they
know one another –at least in duo formations. Their free jazz with so much
improvisation tackle music was a joyous affair of excessive vitality, free
pondering blowouts. There are specific moments if you don’t anticipate (or
don’t know, or, even, simply look forward to the shadow of the impromptu to cowl
you tenderly) one thing particularly, and the music, the gamers that they
produce it, give you one of the best ways to overlook something that bothers, itches
or hurts inside you. This night time was a type of situations.
Although it is a free jazz quartet that performs in unison, a process
that consists lots of listening and caring, I can’t and received’t keep away from a
point out to Aleksandar Skoric. Having by no means caught him stay earlier than, I used to be
not ready. Not ready for his energetic, organized chaos of joyful
polyrhythmic drumming. Not ready on how a lot he loved it, letting go,
enjoying and interacting exterior the codes. His drumming resembles and
combines the ecstasy of youngsters that play video games and the ferocity of the
greatest drummers round right now.
However, clearly, Skoric was not alone. Dikeman was equally keen to supply us
sax blowouts and wait fervently, stepping apart for his fellow gamers.
Notes have been spitted and growled with aggressiveness. Petros Damianidis, a
quiet drive for the quartet, managed what appeared to inconceivable, contemplating
the amount of their sound. He was an equal associate, utilizing the double-bass
as a percussive instrument too. Giotis Damianidis makes use of his electrical
guitar as a bridge. He fills the hole between intensive rock enjoying,
improvising at moments, whereas –with the assistance of effects- creating his personal
idiolect, one which has ears for his fellow gamers.
Once we discuss improvised music, there shouldn’t be surprises (as a result of
you’re shocked solely if you anticipate “dangerous” and also you get one thing “good”),
solely expectations. Anticipating that the music will transcend you, fill you
with pleasure or no matter different feeling is there. I already talked about that this
night time was a type of nights, and many people felt it from the beginning. Catch
them stay, should you can.
By the best way, Giapi means constructing below building.
