As the title 'Musique con Crète' suggests, his research during his stay is focused on traditional Cretan music and the geographic space of Crete, using contemporary media. By using electronic manipulation of original instrumental and field recordings (urban and rural), rare archived recordings and a series of recordings at the ResidenceSEA Tasos will present a new contemporary music piece at the stage of progress, including recorded and live sounds.

After the presentation there will be a party with extreme music djing. The entrance of the presentation is free.
