Esteemed Athens-based musician Stelios Vassiloudis reacts to the current raging wildfires with his charitable single ‘Nothing Will Ever Be The Same’.
All proceeds from the release will be donated to the Hellenic Red Cross in a concerted effort to aid those currently affected by the European wildfires.
A commentary on the destruction that Stelios has seen first hand in his home country as well as across the continent, his latest piece of work instills a contemplative tone that hopes to serve as a call to action for the industry.
Released alongside a stirring visual accompaniment ‘Nothing Will Ever Be The Same’ is available to purchase now on Bedrock’s Beatport and Bandcamp pages: https://bedrockrecords.bandcamp.com/
The cinematic offering opens with a low, rumbling static, evoking a palpable tension that builds upon itself with each passing second. The elongated, melancholic soundscapes incite raw emotion in the listener with striking effect, and are quickly paired alongside various instrumentation.
Halfway into the approximately six-and-a-half minute composition, a propelling beat is introduced into the space and its overall pace quickens, all whilst maintaining its uniquely ethereal sonic flair.
The end of Vassiloudis’ latest electronic opus is characterized by its pensive sensibilities, leaving nothing but sheer awe and reflection in its wake.
“I often hope that this shared crisis we face as a species might spur the much-needed impetus for (many of) us to see things differently. To become more appreciative and aware of the world beyond our own selfish and narrow confines. To wonder why this was all happening and how we should do things from now on. Perhaps even to learn to transcend our own interests and strive for the benefits of others, on occasion.” – Stelios Vassiloudis
