Acropolis bye bye....

Acropolis bye bye is nostalgically resembling 70's psychedelic rock music and even surf, yet applying traditional oriental music patterns. A merely conceptual album, where the greek-echoing sounds and the french, greek and english texts interact interchangeably in an feast of melodies.

Ian BALZAN DORIZAS: Born in Paris in 1979, Acropolis Bye Bye is his first solo record production.

The project 's background is to be found both in Ian BALZAN DORIZAS interest for greek traditional music and electric rock influences.

Travelling around for a long time, learning about rebetiko music and then playing it for almost ten years, mainly in France, he then felt like adding a personal touch, and his proper influences to this music.

Greek revival music results out of a need to get personnaly involved in a music that belongs to a specific place and time, so as to take it out of its borders. The idea is to take a well known story, and tell it another way, on own words and background. The result is a very personal approach, a mix of styles and languages .

You will probably listen something you know, either french, greek, english, arabic, world music, rock and even jazz rock, or simply a pop song, it could sound like a soundtrack too.
