A set of processed instrumental and electronic sounds, field recordings and photography of rock formations, plants and animals melt into an abstract audiovisual experience. Go back to hiding in the shadows proposes relationships between the organic and the digital.
The source of material – sounds, images and videos – were taken around the Troodos mountains in Cyprus island, region where Pandelis grew up. He has created custom-made software to process the raw information with algorithms, creating multiple configurations of image and sound.
The compositions seek to explore the idea of territory and identity as mutually defining forces whose interactions cannot be simplified or easily represented.
This project was presented as a live AV performance in many festivals in Europe and shaped a complete album released in April 11th, 2019, in Berlin, Germany.
