Details:
The debut album for Kerkville from Athens, "Days" comes out in mid-autumn not only as a personal vehicle of Mihalis Moshoutis, the man behind it all, but probably as a means for everyone. In the 10 pieces of the program, guitars (classical, acoustic, electric, lap steel, pedal steel) play the game, all of them sharing the first role but truly, in a sensible manner. It is the musical background of Moshoutis apart from his inner world, of course, which enables him to render his thought into music. Somebody might confess an aura of Christian Fennesz''s processed guitar ambient in "Rise of YS", a touch of Matt Elliott''s penitential chords in "Keeping It", Michael Gira''s slow heart-breaking strumming in "Bowed" and even Godspeed You! Black Emperor''s hopeful feeling in the closing "Days" and the isolationist melancholia of Gustavo Santaolalla''s "Babel" OST in "Next To Me". His close friend and collaborator Dimitris Dimitriadis, whose invaluable input pushes Moshoutis'' creativity output a step beyond into the world of sonic treatment, took care of the technical aspects of the album.
Composer/guitarist Mihalis Moshoutis (b. 1979) studied classical guitar at the Guildhall School of Music in London and at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague. He has taken part in many festivals in Europe and is performing extensively throughout Greece. His collaborators include composers (Nikos Tatsis, Chikage Imai, George Katsanos, Stavros Sofianopoulos ao), bands (Apodrasi, Babas au Rhum, Imam Baildi ao), singers and songwriters (Lolek, Elly Paspala, Loudovikos ton Anogeion, Leonidas Maridakis ao) and choreographer Kostantinos Rigos, while he is also composing music for short films, TV ads and is working as a guitar teacher. Under the guise of Kerkville he is producing music based mainly on the guitar. He is continuously working on expanding the expressive capabilities of his main instrument: classical, acoustic, electric, lap steel, pedal steel and prepared guitars and is experimenting on recording techniques and sound processing, aiming at creating "a distinct world of textures and harmonies".
