In times of youtube and similar platforms, does music now need a visual cue to be fully appreciated? Is it just a different experience or is it a restriction of the music fantasy?  Do we as musicians finally serve the eye culture? How can we stay focus on the experimental acousmatic movement? How can we maintain our art in the foreground? 

Ιntercept

I have strong feelings for abandoned hospitals. Between 12 and 17 I had the ‘pleasure’ to grow up opposite the hospital emergency department in the home town in Crete. I am attracted to all abandon spaces and building. Hospitals however are special. It is a social place with thousands of personal stories, mostly related to pain. Pain is common to all humans and everyone has a spacial relation with it.  Personally I find hard to decide what attract me to this kind of spaces. Is it masochism, better understanding, sympathy or all. 

Also interested is the relation between pain with time. While in pain you fight with time. They have a depended relationship. Hospitals is one of these places where you can experience this dependancy and alternation of time. You enter from an open to a close environment and besides pain, one of the first things you notice is the expansion of time. Time is hard to tame while in hospital but if you do is the greatest of  comforts. Doing so, you pass from a place of reflections, realisations and uncertain decisions, to a place of eternity.
