Description and bio by Moving Furniture Records:

"“Caveman” is a recorded representative sample of Tasos Stamou’s live sound. Both tracks are complete extracts of improvised solo performances using his portable electroacoustic music studio. Both tracks have been carefully selected for their sound and narrative qualities, also taking in consideration the blend between acoustic and electronic elements.

The album’s titles reveal an additional interpretation to the music, being inspired by two prehistoric ancestors who lived in caves during the same period of early mankind."

About Tasos Stamou:

"Electroacoustic music composer and performer, alternative electronic music instrument maker, tutor and sound technologist.

During a decade of sound performances and recordings, Tasos Stamou has developed a unique style of live electroacoustic composition. Long and continuous pieces are created on stage or in the studio using a “portable electroacoustic music studio”. His gear consists of acoustic (prepared zither, reeds, recorders, objects) and electronic instruments (handmade electronics, modular synthesizer systems and live processed feedback loops). Based on sustained tonal textures and free improvised instrumental solos, his live compositions create a particular and unique atmosphere of ritual noise.

He is currently leading a workshop series exploring circuit bending & hardware hacking for experimental sound production.

Tasos Stamou has an eclectic body of recorded work, released by exploratory music labels (Moving Furniture, Lal Lal Lal, Linear Obsessional Recordings, Orila, Triple Bath, Kukuruku Recordings, Absurd, Coherent States).

He has performed across Europe and the U.S. in festivals and venues for innovative sound (Incubate Festival, Cafe OTO in London, Supernormal Festival, BENT Festival New York, Cave 12 in Geneva, Sounds of the Underground Festival, Ausland in Berlin, CologneOFF Festival, Onassis Cultural Centre in Athens, and many more). Although mainly a solo performer and recording artist, he frequently collaborates with other sound artists, improvisers and experimentalists (such as Adam Bohman, Alan Wilkinson, London Improvisers Orchestra, Mike Cooper, Andrea Parkins, Kuupuu & Lau Nau, Terry Day, Adachi Tomomi, Ilan Manouach, Ignaz Schick, Magda Mayas, Arma Agharta, Thodoris Ziarkas, etc.) at various venues and festivals for innovative music.

Although his music is inspired by different contemporary and traditional genres (free improvised music, musique concrète, noise & drone, folklore and ritual/tribal music) his main influence is personal states and experiences of the sonic environment, such as early childhood memories (“Infant”, 2007), the loss of a beloved person (“The return of the long lost one”, 2013) or the experience of a rural festivity (“Koura”, 2016).

Tasos is also developing a series of visual art; showing his work at occasional exhibitions/installation shows and illustrating media."

In the formative years of my cassette practice, I had a habit of walking around with my recorder and capturing very short snippets of sound – at times less than a second, as if taking a photo – as well as some longer segments of deep listening. These recordings carved a dense collage on the magnetic tapes, and I am presenting the sounds here with the same editing style as I captured them almost 20 years ago. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eBack then, the LES was the place to be. The neighborhood was home to many artists, filmmakers, and musicians, and there was a vibe of genuine bohemian community. A large portion of the area was protected by the Landmarks Commission, and there were many rent-stabilized buildings. Gentrification eventually priced out some of the long-time residents of the LES, who moved to Williamsburg and other parts of Brooklyn, but the rest held on to the rent-stabilized units and have been residing there for decades. Since the 19th century, the area has been inhabited by a succession of immigrant communities, including Italians, Jews, and Puerto Ricans. Toward the East River\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e in Alphabet City (the part of the LES where the avenues are lettered rather than numbered), it was, and still is, a largely Latinx community. The mixture of all of these characteristics created a multicultural and low-key atmosphere that was different from any other part of the city. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI spent countless hours at Anthology Film Archives (AFA) on the corner of 2nd Street and Second Ave. In 1998, I became acquainted with one of AFA’s co-founders, Jonas Mekas. I first watched his Reminiscences of a Journey to Lithuania (1972) in Tokyo in the '90s, and Mekas’s work became a strong influence on me, so it was a natural consequence to visit him. AFA was a more chaotic, underground place back then. We would hang out in the basement, where Jonas had a photography studio. A few of his Lithuanian friends occupied the other rooms. Jonas gave me copies of Film Culture magazines, which were excellent resources to trace film history. We would have lunch at an Italian restaurant nearby and end up stopping by the trashy Mars Bar on the corner of 1st Street and Second Ave, which was almost like an extension of Jonas's office. With free access to AFA’s screenings, I absorbed the essence of avant-garde cinema. My favorites were: William Klein's Muhammad Ali the Greatest (1969); Ken Jacobs's Blonde Cobra (1963); Michael Snow’s Rameau’s Nephew by Diderot (1974); Harry Smith's Mahagonny (1980) and Heaven and Earth Magic (1962); Bruce Conner’s The White Rose (1965); Milton Moses Ginsberg's Coming Apart (1969); Béla Tarr’s The Outsider (1981), and so on. Immersing myself in cinema’s mixture of visual and sound became a powerful accumulation of experiences that bled into my work. I often taped the soundtracks, and those cassettes became a way to study filmmakers' approaches to sounds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, these are not just environmental sounds nor are they aural documentation of my personal life.

In the formative years of my cassette practice, I had a habit of walking around with my recorder and capturing very short snippets of sound – at times less than a second, as if taking a photo – as well as some longer segments of deep listening. These recordings carved a dense collage on the magnetic tapes, and I am presenting the sounds here with the same editing style as I captured them almost 20 years ago. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eBack then, the LES was the place to be. The neighborhood was home to many artists, filmmakers, and musicians, and there was a vibe of genuine bohemian community. A large portion of the area was protected by the Landmarks Commission, and there were many rent-stabilized buildings. Gentrification eventually priced out some of the long-time residents of the LES, who moved to Williamsburg and other parts of Brooklyn, but the rest held on to the rent-stabilized units and have been residing there for decades. Since the 19th century, the area has been inhabited by a succession of immigrant communities, including Italians, Jews, and Puerto Ricans. Toward the East River\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e in Alphabet City (the part of the LES where the avenues are lettered rather than numbered), it was, and still is, a largely Latinx community. The mixture of all of these characteristics created a multicultural and low-key atmosphere that was different from any other part of the city. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI spent countless hours at Anthology Film Archives (AFA) on the corner of 2nd Street and Second Ave. In 1998, I became acquainted with one of AFA’s co-founders, Jonas Mekas. I first watched his Reminiscences of a Journey to Lithuania (1972) in Tokyo in the '90s, and Mekas’s work became a strong influence on me, so it was a natural consequence to visit him. AFA was a more chaotic, underground place back then. We would hang out in the basement, where Jonas had a photography studio. A few of his Lithuanian friends occupied the other rooms. Jonas gave me copies of Film Culture magazines, which were excellent resources to trace film history. We would have lunch at an Italian restaurant nearby and end up stopping by the trashy Mars Bar on the corner of 1st Street and Second Ave, which was almost like an extension of Jonas's office. With free access to AFA’s screenings, I absorbed the essence of avant-garde cinema. My favorites were: William Klein's Muhammad Ali the Greatest (1969); Ken Jacobs's Blonde Cobra (1963); Michael Snow’s Rameau’s Nephew by Diderot (1974); Harry Smith's Mahagonny (1980) and Heaven and Earth Magic (1962); Bruce Conner’s The White Rose (1965); Milton Moses Ginsberg's Coming Apart (1969); Béla Tarr’s The Outsider (1981), and so on.
