Αγκαθωτά απογεύματα / Agathota apogeumata by Thomas Meleteas
Τέσσερα κομμάτια που ξεφύτρωσαν μέσα στους τέσσερις τοίχους του σπιτιού και στην ανοιχτωσιά του γειτονικού δάσους, τα απογεύματα των δύο Αθηναϊκών lockdown (2020-2021).
Four tracks recorded during the 2020-2021 Athens lockdown within the four walls of my home and in the openness of the nearby forest.
