Five minutes is enough to break down many of the stereotypes and preconceived structures that we have about experimental electronic music. In Syzygy this genre, already innovative by itself, goes one step further and merges with a completely different style, classical music. The result is a surprising duality. “It’s a bold, honest, and emotionally raw marriage between the mesmerizing “Ave Maria” and brutal electronic chords”, explains Effie Pappa, who has join forces with cinematographer Dimitris Lambridis to create a music video reminiscent of a Caravaggio painting. A Girl with a pearl earring-type character, framed in a blue scarf, like most famous piece by the Dutch artist Vermeer, is put in conversation with a muscled dungaree-clad man - something transgressive and unexpected much like the duality of genre.
It is no coincidence that the Greek electronic music producer has embarked on a dialogue between two antagonistic musical genres through his art. His previous album released a year ago was precisely called Conversations, showing his interest in listening to all parties involved, generating synergies between the fascinating universe of sound and visual imaginary. JAMSQ and Natasa Tsagari interpret the music aptly through body movement and facial expression, inviting us to this exciting electronic universe.
