“Down on my knees”, “Sunny”, “Life is real”, “Beautiful”, songs we all have loved and sung, it’s time to enjoy them live…

 

The unique performer and musician Ayọ comes on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 December to the main stage of Gazarte, with melodies that will caress your soul and lyrics that will speak directly to your heart!

 

Her big return to Greece is a fact, as after her first visit in 2007, she comes back renewed and with even more hits to leave the best impressions.

 

Ayọ is a rare artist, whose soft but powerful voice takes you on a journey from the very first notes. With origins in Nigeria and Germany, she draws on elements of soul, folk and reggae to create a unique and “vibrant” sound.

 

Her raw talent and sincerity are touching the hearts of a growing audience. With her first album “Joyful” in 2006 selling over a million copies, Ayọ has now established herself as a classic figure in the music scene.

 

Since then, she has enjoyed a string of hits, with albums such as “Gravity at Last” (2008), “Billie-Eve” (2011), “Ticket to the World” (2013) and “Royal” (2020). Each of her albums is an invitation to an intense musical journey, where emotions are mixed with captivating melodies.

WILLIAM BASINSKI

Made Of Stone Productions proudly presents

WILLIAM BASINSKI [USA]

Saturday 27 April 2024 | Gazarte Main Stage

Carving a very particular path over the past 30 years, William Basinski insists on recording mysterious frequencies at the precipitous edges of music’s boundaries, even making it seem simple and effortless. Based in New York City for most of his career, he has used his musical training not to reproduce the classics, but to redefine the essence of sound and test the conscious boundaries of audiences and critics around the world as few others have.

 

Analog technology was and remains his passion, and by intricately weaving melancholic soundscapes and multiple layers of recordings, Basinksi explores the (anyway chaotic) universe of what we call ambient music, giving image to sounds and sound to images. Working for decades with visual artists, museum curators and orchestral musicians, he sets art installations imprinted in music, creating new dimensions.

 

His timeless masterpiece ‘The Disintegration Loops’ has been invested in museum exhibitions and orchestral adaptations around the world and he continues to be creative without compromising on his uncompromising approach, which is clearly reflected in his latest work ‘On Time Out Of Time’ for which he is still touring the world.

 

As part of this latest creative campaign, William Basinski will also visit Athens for a unique performance at the Gazarte Main Stage on Saturday 27 April, at one of those occasions when the boundaries of art and the process of its reception are tested, both for the artist and the audience.

Doors open: 21:00
Starts: 22:00

JOJO MAYER

JOJO MAYER

ME | MACHINE

Wednesday 22 November
GAZARTE MAIN STAGE

 

The legendary JoJo Mayer at Gazarte Main Stage for an unforgettable night !
His performances and recordings have received rave reviews: “…destined for “Drum God” status !”( (Modern Drummer magazine).

 

Innovative Swiss drummer Jojo Mayer’s new project Me/Machine integrates human power with machine power, analog drumming with AI in an improvised duet where machine imitates man and man imitates machine.

Sergé “Jojo” Mayer’s career kick-started in the early 80s when, as an 18-year-old, he got a place in pianist Monty Alexander’s group. He continued with the jazz rock band Screaming Headless Torsos and the fusion band Intergalactic Maiden Ballet. In the early 90s, Mayer moved from Europe to New York City, worked as a sideman for a number of different artists before forming the electronica quartet Nerve, the band where Mayer developed the idea of reverse engineering, playing machine rhythms on an acoustic drum set.

 

 

 

 

Jojo Mayer is known for bringing together jazz, drum’n’bass and jungle, and electronic music has been a central influence in recent decades. Me/Machine is the next chapter in this love affair between man and machine, machine and man.

 

 

This is what the now 60-year-old drummer himself says:
“The initial impulse for ME/MACHINE came during an experimental recording session with Brian Eno shortly before the onset of the pandemic. I got struck by the ramifications generative, algorithmic technologies and AI will have on the future of music and thought: If only I had a year off, I would get down with this.”
Mayer had his year.
