Cinematheque sessions premiered last night for the new season at Bioscurated by Vasilis Konstantoudakis of Orila.net. The first guests were Ku, Cassettine and Nanotekt , producing a very special audiovisual artwork. stay tuned for more exquisite Cinematheque nights as we have much to expect.
Although I had an idea of what to expect yesterday from orila’s gig for their new release of artist Ku, “Ping Pong Show”, the whole event in total exceeded our expectation. Set-up on a rooftop with a magnificent view, in front of the lights of Acropolis by sunset, Mr. Lo-Fi made a small introduction with his collectibles vinyls to warm up the audience for Ku’s performance.
Ku’s -Dimitris Papadatos- experimental porn pop music matched uniquely with the environment and the tense of the moment, offering us a mesmerizing mind-travel
This new release of Orila includes 6 various versions of Ku’s songs, as performed live on triparadio.gr a few months ago and recorded on tape with a beautiful artwork. Some of them together with a few gramophone vinyls were given randomly to the guests
the performance ended with two thai magic-lanterns that flew over the night sky till we couldn’t see them anymore and burned to ashes
the closure of the evening consisted of some more wine, laughs, and an improvisation of the musicians among us who freely coordinated with their guitars- synths-kalimbas and bass for an hour, for a goodnight ending.
congratulations to Orila, Dimitri and the whole team for a great job and a wonderful evening
Memorywank and Cloam are the two hot babes that run the independent phonographic label Orila. On Saturday 24/4 orila releases “Ku- Ping Pong Show” cassettes and walkman series.
We’re all invited for a live set on a rooftop musical exploration play by Ku.
Because orila cares.
Important note: be there before 19.00. in this way we make sure that performance will take place during sunset.
