🎶 Κυκλοφορία νέου τραγουδιού: “Όστρια” 🎶
I’m happy to announce the release of my new song “Ostria”, with lyrics and music written by me.
The song is performed by my collaborator and dear friend Katerina Konstantinou — one of my favorite artists in the field, and someone I feel especially lucky to have interpreting my music. From the Asterismyth album to new releases like this one, her voice brings a unique depth to the work.
“Ostria” has a rhythmic, warm, summery feel. Yet the southern wind it refers to symbolizes something quite different for me — the inevitable, a not-so-positive chapter in my life that I’m working to overcome. Music helps me in this process; it becomes a way to exorcise past wounds.
In addition to the composition, I handled the programming and recording. The sound is electronic, featuring analog synthesizers. Mixing and mastering were done at Artracks Studios by Giorgos Priniotakis, and the cover photo was taken by Yiannis Pavlidis.
The track is available as of July 23, 2025, on YouTube and all major digital platforms.

🎶 New Release: “Aftermath” 🎶
I’m happy to announce the release of the song “Aftermath”, composed by Karina Ruby and myself, with lyrics by Karina.
This is a new acoustic version, beautifully interpreted by
In this version, I perform on piano, blending jazz improvisation with influences from classical tradition — a personal musical language I deeply cherish. The track was recorded at Artracks Studios by Giorgos Priniotakis, and the cover photo was taken by Yannis Pavlidis.
“Aftermath” was first released in 2021 as part of the soundtrack for the graphic novel "Musicoma" by Maria-Olia Dakogianni — a story about the life of an aging jazz diva who shows how an "old" music like jazz can still speak to younger generations, and how music connects and transforms lives.
This song speaks of how music connects souls, heals wounds, and preserves the sacred echoes of what we’ve lived. As the lyrics say:
“Our music will be alive after ashes and ember.
Eternally I am yours — we will always remember
the lyrics we shared, our feelings unpaired,
the times that we spent in healing.”
“Aftermath” is available as of today, Friday, June 20, 2025, on YouTube and all major streaming platforms.
