about

On Sunday, March 12, at 21:00, the industrial facilities of the former French Mining Company of Lavrio,Greece were transformed by the musical work of Constantine Skourlis and the post-apocalyptic ambience created by visual artist Theresa Baumgartner, as part of STAGES A/LIVE by ONASSIS STEGI under the direction and conception of Christos Sarris.

Dawn Eternal — the live album is out on Bedouin Records from December 22.

Never one to follow a conventional route, Constantine Skourlis creates music that goes against the grain. From the classical music he grew up with, to jazz, psychedelic rock, and black metal, he has been able to conjure up a harmonious whole out of the combination of various extreme sounds. For Constantine Skourlis, extreme sound has been the driving force behind his use of sound, film, and the human body in his attempt to evoke apocalyptic images that are violent and transcendent at the same time. Trying to categorize his work is futile, as he considers his main source of inspiration to be genres as diverse as baroque and medieval music, jazz, noise, techno, and modern composition, while he expresses a particular fondness for the Icelandic music scene.

For Dawn Eternal Skourlis has collaborated with Visual artist Theresa Baumgartner. As with each of her projects, Baumgartner blurs the boundaries between audiovisual performance and installation, using experimental film techniques for her visuals, while her approach to stage design is rooted in fine art and sculpture. Her most recent project is a collaboration with Hildur Guðnadóttir for the Icelandic composer's Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning score for the HBO television series “Chernobyl”.

Constantine Skourlis's first collaboration with Onassis Stegi took place during the timeless “Borderline Festival” (2018) with a packed, smoke-filled performance at “Romantso.” In addition to his own creations, he also makes incidental music for productions such as the dance performance "Vanishing Point" (2020), by Dafin Antoniadou and Alexandros Vardaxoglou, which was first presented at Onassis Stegi as part of its latest “Onassis New Choreographers” (“ONC”) dance festival. After its premiere at “ONC 7”, "Vanishing Point," now developed into a film, premiered simultaneously at the “Spring Forward 2022 – Aerowaves” international dance festival in Elefsina and the Onassis Channel on YouTube.

Hades
by Constantine

supported by 5 fans who also own “DAWN ETERNAL”

Hades is an album of simultaneities. Through furious streams of contrast shattering against our eardrums into keen shards of textures, this cavernous music reflects on subterranean lakes in the deepest corners of the greek crevices. But dark ambiances, electroacoustic crawling and industrial roars may still go from the darkness towards the dazzling surface without false hopes. From the earth to the firmament, from the shadow to the light, from paralysis to freedom. Or vice versa ? Dotflac

It's been quite some time since any audio captured and drew me in the way this recording does. It's incredibly captivating, stark, magical, and, while I can't fully explain it, it's pretty fucking metal Blxculx
