Sponsor: Deputy Ministry of Tourism. Four years after the first recorded work entitled Simplicity, Andreas Rodosthenous comes back, evolving and suggesting his new work titled Complexity. This project tries to communicate the troubled and complex way of life that many people live today and leads to estrangement. The music is instrumental and this makes things more difficult to communicate without spoken word, but creates an even bigger challenge, for the musicians and audience, to find a common language that can be supported, with thoughts, expression and sound than just the notes! This production is brand new since the compositions are not released yet. Music that has been created in the past four years. The contribution of the musicians to modern improvised and interactive music is of utmost importance; hence the compositions are completed on stage where each musician contributes in their own unique way, musicality and personality.
