CD Γέρμα / Yerma
I've let my soul sing and where the inner landscapes joined the landscapes of the outer world these melodies echoed deep inside me.
At the sunset, that magic hour where the universe is enraptured with its own existence, that's where my music belongs to.
I tried in humbleness to utter a musical speech at the level of Poetry.
All music that has touched me was in aid of this attempt.
Words cannot describe music.
Therefore, i prefer this "Sunset" to take a journey together.

My deepest thanks to my friend, Yiannis Tendouros, the percussionist, who believed in my work from the very beginning and supported with his percussion the rhythmic part of my music. The musicians who loved my melodies and infused them with their energy and skills, and finally, Christos Galanopoulos, the sound engineer, at the studio of whom the recording took place for the quality of his work and the time we shared.Dimitris Kyriakopoulos.

Small trip
On this short trip
of joy the secret
is a piece of sea
in the eyes
for return
the windstorm
of the Sea the voices
they sent you one morning
in the wilderness
on this trip
no return,
your look always
will be hurt
on the horizon the knife
in the sea that calls you
to the mermaid the kiss
Of ancestors
When you dance, tell me
my wow the magic
keep your head straight
and look at the stars
I saw them dancing
in the moonlight
their feet were painting
on the map of Greece
I saw the wooden living
and the breath of the clarinet kiss
I got a heart from a plane tree
and the water was dripping
Now I go through life
moon-marked
and if I sweeten the earth
the old man gifted
