Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"'Eventless Plot' is the name adopted 20 years ago by three young musicians in Thessaloniki, Greece - Vasilis Liolios, Yiannis Tsirikoglou and Arias Gatas. Since then they have produced a string of excellent, fluidly collaborative CDs. For their new disc they combine with other Greek instrumentalists to present three of their recent chamber compositions. Read an excellent early review here "A mercurial intelligence that is both human yet beyond individual subjectivity, as each turn creates a new hybrid of sound."-Ben Harper



"Eventless Plot borrows elements from different genres and aesthetics to build their own hybrid of sound. Formed in Thessaloniki in 2002 by Vasilis Liolios, Aris Giatas and Yiannis Tsirikoglou, the trio exhibits great attention to sonic details expressed in different forms of experimentalism. From free improv and noise to new electronica, electroacoustic composition and jazz, their music remains always unconventional and contemporary. They use a variety of instruments, analog sources, field recordings and Max/MSP patches. Eventless plot often collaborate with Chris Cundy (bass clarinet), Angelica Vasquez Salvi (harp) and Stefanos Lazaristos (bass saxophone). Eventless plot have several releases in their archive including "ikon" (Granny records 2009), "Recon" (Aural terrains 2012), "Points of attraction" (Another timbre 2013), "Structures" (Creative sources 2014) and "Killing Realism" (Granny records 2015). Moreover, the trio has performed live in different cities such as Bologne, Milan (O gallery), Thessaloniki, Porto (Sonoscopia), Coimbra (Salao Brazil), Skopje (Swiss music days festival), Athens (Synch festival). Eventless Plot are also working on designing sound and composing for art installations, films and dance projects. In November 2008, they joined Thessalonikiʼs International Film Festival along with Granny records label mates Good Luck Mr. Gorsky by composing and introducing a soundtrack for Victor Sjostrom' s "Phantom Carriage". In 2009, they composed music for the short film"Ceremony 273.749" which won the first prize in ArtWave Athens Festival, while in 2015, they presented the "Time | Tone" project, an electroacoustic composition based on graphic score along with the dancers Dafni Stefanou, Loukiani Papadaki, Eddie Lame and Mina Ananiadou."-Eventless Plot website
