about

Composer Dave Manington and Singer-Songwriter Lara Eidi are excited to release another collaboration. Their new offering is a real meeting of Greek, Maqam and UK sounds with beautiful words taken from the poem “Fones”, in its original Greek by celebrated Greek- Egyptian poet Constantine P. Cavafys. A powerful brooding bassline underpinned by dynamic drums from master percussionist Vasilis Sarakis and nostalgic guitars. Eidi's ethereal vocals and intricate harmonies soar over the top beautifully, the lyrics from Cavafy's Fones (Voices). The project was completed by fellow friend and multi- disciplinary artist Geoffa Fells, who created art as an embodied response to the music.

lyrics

Greek : ( Original )
Ιδανικές φωνές κι αγαπημένες
εκείνων που πεθάναν, ή εκείνων που είναι
για μας χαμένοι σαν τους πεθαμένους.

Κάποτε μες στα όνειρά μας ομιλούνε·
κάποτε μες στην σκέψι τες ακούει το μυαλό.

Και με τον ήχο των για μια στιγμή επιστρέφουν
ήχοι από την πρώτη ποίησι της ζωής μας —
σα μουσική, την νύχτα, μακρυνή, που σβύνει.

English Translation :
Ideal voices and lovely voices, those who died1
Or those who are lost for us like the dead ones.

Sometimes they talk to us in our dreams, sometimes mind can hear them inside the thought.

And with their sound
They come back for a moment ,sounds from the first poetry of our life-like music, in the long night that switch off.
