Strive for Stikhiya. Or: primitive immediacy. Then and there, organic holistic experiences (may) emerge, dixit Yorgis Sakellariou.

The crash of a waterfall joins a fridge&#8217;s hum in a symphony of clashes and juxtapositions. Scratching and scraping, creepy and crawly, rumbling and bustling the aural zoo maintained by Sakellariou is teeming with lively action.<br \/>\nThis projects a power of catharsis in as much as these works bear their elementary building blocks precisely to remain firmly rooted in reality, whilst rearranging these familiarities towards expansions of the real; a rarification, perfecting too \u00e2\u20ac\u201c also in size of the sound field and scope of the emotional rapport. Sakellariou&#8217;s rawness of sound is worn on his sleeve; a throbbing heartbeat \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the sound of what it means to be alive, hearing living \u00e2\u20ac\u201c living hearing: here, now and with an eternal glimmer from the noise of stern stuff, from which epic is written.
