Description:

The Estlin Project is an attempt to set poems by E.E. Cummings to music. The project’s first record, titled in the last light, comprises 14 settings of poems out of E.E. Cummings’ first collection, Tulips and Chimneys. Each setting has a different character (despite sharing a contrapuntal technique) incorporating influences by contemporary classical music, old jazz, medieval and renaissance music, blues, progressive rock, romanticism and minimalism. All songs were composed by Giorgos Kyriazis, except track 5, which was co-written by Thanos Margetis. The musicians: Piano, keyboards: Thanos Margetis (pianist and composer) Cello: Christina Kolovou (member of the Greek Radio National Symphony Orchestra) Oboe: Paschalis Plissis (member of the Greek Radio Contemporary Music Orchestra and of the legendary indie-pop band The Jaywalkers) Clarinet: Vasso Karioti (pianist, singer, music teacher and choral conductor) Bass & Voice: Giorgos Kyriazis (member of the Greek Radio Chorus and of the indie-pop bands One Night Suzan and Splashing Rainbows) Voice: Margarita Papadimitriou (member of the Chorus of the City of Athens, director of the Voice Box vocal ensemble and vocal coach) Voice: Antonia Tzitzika (member of the Greek Radio Chorus and of the 8tetto vocal ensemble) Voice: Sergios Voudris (founder of Diskex Studios and The Voyage Limpid Sound) The recording took place at Diskex Studios, Athens, Greece. Produced and mixed by Sergios Voudris Mastering by Stavros Georgiopoulos Artwork by Dafy!
