ΤΕΤΤΤΙX - ALLLOY | ΚΡΡΑΜΑ

ΤΕΤΤΤΙΞ (tetttix) is an ensemble for contemporary music, based in Athens.

Surprising mixtures and transformations beyond what we usually call “contemporary classical music.”

Stamatis Pasopoulos, starting from the ecstatic Macedonian “zyghies,” pursues a reinvention of the zurna-davul duo.
Beat Furrer blends the sound of the flute with that of the double bass into a single instrument, inspired by the Peruvian Pan Flute, while Dmitri Kourliandski’s music is born of indistinct strokes and rasps.
Iannis Xenakis sets to music Cassandra’s scene from Aeschylus’s “Agamemnon,” with the baritone playing the roles of both the Chorus and Cassandra in a schizophrenic dialogue.
Nikos Galenianos arranges Metallica’s “Battery” for TETTTIX and, finally, the invasion of punk through Ofir Klemperer’s work shatters all solemnity.
