Introducing their new, groundbreaking album "First Steps" Cosmic Podcasted a sneak preview in April, to an enthusiastic reception from an international audience, as well as attracting positive recognition from the prog rock music press. The music of Cosmic Singularity combines the individual talents of well-respected prog musicians from a number of established groups - including Azureth, Stuey Blue, Binary Spirals, PleasureDome, LightSpeed, and Ain't TV - to create a totally new and original, epic sound, although one which will appeal to any fan of each member’s distinctive musical style and background. Fronted by Steve McAndrew on vocals and guitar, the band also features Mike Kosacek on drums and engineering, Stephen Rivera on keyboards and Rod Chappell and Todd Monroe on bass guitars.

Steve McAndrew is a regular visitor to Symi, and in fact 3 of the songs on the album are influenced by the Island. Check out the links below for more information!

Athan Presents The Symi Podcast #9 - Progressive Mix

2009-08-17T21:45:00.004+03:00

This month, The Symi Podcast is a guest mix by the Athenian Dj Athan. I met Athan in May when he came to visit Symi. We talked about music and I mentioned I produced The Symi Podcast. Athan got his first Technics 1210s at the age of 15, and has been hooked on dance music and mixing ever since. DJing in several bars and clubs back home, I mentioned it would be great to feature one of his mixes for the podcast. He agreed, and so this months mix is a personal collection from him.

Athan has mixed some of his favourite new white labels for this podcast featuring tracks from Jozef Mihalik and Babak Shayan. This is not the last we'll be seeing of Athan. Thank you to him for a great mix. Passionate about Symi, passionate about his music maybe one day he'll play here in one of the clubs or bars.

Evangelos - Music From The Soul

2009-07-25T21:16:00.011+03:00

Vangelis Vlahakis was born in Heraklion Crete in 1965. He began studying music when he was 15 years old studying the classical guitar with Nikos Froudarakis, in Heraklion, and later with Evangelos Assimakopoulos and Nikos Piperis, in Athens. In 1999 Vangelis was hit by an illness of the nerves called 'conduction block'. This left his left hand paralysed, so he could no longer play the guitar. For 3 years he couldn't even listen to music, knowing in his mind that he was once able to play.

Today, the passion for music and the ability to play has come back to Vangelis. Not only does he play the guitar, he also plays the piano, and harp. Why do I write about Vangelis in this blog? For me the main reason is the way he makes a bridge to all music. Vangelis does not only know the traditional Greek music we've all heard in tavernas and bars around Greece. This is a man that has studied the classics of Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, Villa-Lobos etc. His true passion for music is probably no different from the rest of us. If it sounds nice, it's nice.

I know Vangelis not only because of his music, but also because he and his wife make excellent jewellery, and even have a shop in Elounda, Crete. We even have his jewellery in our shop here in Symi, and has proven to be very, very popular with people from all over the world.

Visit his MySpace page, grab a drink of your choice, and play the songs he's uploaded. Below are the links, and I strongly recommend you check him out. There is also a link below to the full interview of Vangelis by myriad-online.com

Finally, I'll leave you with a quote from one of his friends:

-Do you play music ? I asked.
-No, but I love the souls of the ones that do
