It is the idea behind the musical combination of traditional african music, experimental rythms, ambient and noise elements. It is a musical interpretation between soundscapes and the Lyra constellation. A beautiful blending of sounds and moving images that represents the whole idea behind the musician named Lyr.

The first album from Lyr, with ten tracks followed by a minimal cover is the birthchild of the artist. Unique minimal electronic musical landscapes and massive distorted rythms are the heartbeat of every track. Every song gives it’s glow to the next one compiling a concept album that is an ode to the lyra constellation.

Taking elements from the mother of all rythms, african music, Lyr builds the foundation of this electronic genre gently blending it with  simple ideas to produce a final result.

Although their first release dates back in 2007, Fabrics were actually formed a year earlier, in 2006, making their debut during the 4th Another Fine Project annual music stage, in Thessaloniki (as ed209 & spinnet back then). Both of them students of Dimitris Adam’s Music Technology class at the New Conservatory of Thessaloniki, their collaboration came as a result of their common passion for eccentric soundscapes and rhythmic structures as well as noise. The duet set out for the electro music stage with tampered loops and deconstructed beats, followed by the release of two digital EPs and the participation in various compilations over the next two years. Since then, continuous studio experimentation and live performances in Greece and abroad have led to the release of their first • self-titled • album: FABRICS.

The album combines electro, breakbeat, industrial, noise and glitch elements in a dark and futuristic way. Starting in a retro-idm mood, soon things speed-up, reaching remote corners of an industrial environment, to the inevitable destination, equivalent to a warehouse collapse upon the sensory organs of the listener…

FABRICS is available in CD (limited, handmade cd-case) and digital format.
