"Worlds that reflect yesterday and today and that ultimately merge together in the now as harmoniously as if they had always existed. The way I perceive Cretan music and the psychedelia it carries for me has always been and will always be special to my ears. I have been searching for a long time for a new dimension that would bring the Cretan lyre closer to Western forms and sounds, to electronic music, to the beat, without losing its own character, which is so intense, dynamic and unchanging."
