Music for Jaw Harp – Marios Visvikis and Panos Tsigkos

Live set + visuals

Thursday 7 april, 7pm

Through this collaboration, Marios Visvikis and Panos Tsigkos are trying to create an audiovisual experience inspired by the album “Music For Jaw Harp” and old silent video footage from Nepal. They use a combination of synthesizers and primitive acoustic instruments such as jaw harp, kalimba, overtone flute and gong. The product is a blend of minimalistic, electronic and ambient music.
