The Sana journey begins in 2017 as a song in the album ‘Noice’. “Her name is Sana. Shaking, navigating oscillating, shivering”

Then evolves into two live improvisation events in Manchester (May 2018) and Berlin (February 2019) with the participation of musicians/artists: Lisa Baeyens (flute), Stephen Bradshaw (violin), Abby Clarcke (graphics), Athanasia Kontou (piano) Rob Oswell (oboe) and Caroline Bordignon (live painting). “She is travelling like a boat in the seas discovering new lands. How would they sound”.

When she returns home, Sana is bombarded with 25 commercials from our times. These commercials advertise her life. “In fluid you fly travelling like a boat in the sky”.

Field recordings, compositions, song descriptions and image by Basil Theodorou, during 2017-2021 (Berlin/Athens).

Many thanks to my friends/improvisers for being part of this journey; Also to Sofia Anassa for her voice in songs: 1, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14 and 21; to Sousa T for her piano parts in 14 and to Tsabouras for his snake voice in 18. Borrowed voices by Mario Draghi in songs: 6 & 15 and Bill Gates in song 9.
