To coincide with the announcement of a new album on Lo Recordings, the multi-talented, London based Greek artist Athanasios Argianas will share the video and lead single from his new EP.
‘Hollowed Water’ features the vocals of Jo Apps and is set against an almost Nyman-esque harpsichord part which is accompanied by an acoustic ‘techno’ kick drum. Although drawing on late 80’s minimalism, Kurt Muncasi's production for Philip Glass together with Steve Reich’s phasing/pulsing and early rave music, Argianas manages to create something refreshingly groundbreaking.
The ‘Hollowed Water’ EP collects four versions of the track, two taken from the forthcoming ‘Purr’ album along with a synthesized version and the soundtrack version to the film of the same name that forms part of the Hollowed Water exhibition, a major new installation of his visual, sculpture and musical works at the Camden Arts Centre in London during January and February 2020.
