About Me

Ekos Quartet BiographyIt was when ForTune gave some music experimentations on classical and hip-hop sounds to The Ant, and he immediately proposed him to form "something new". After working together on music and lyrics during 2004, Stelx joined them as a guitarist in 2005. After a short period the three of them found Eskimint, who had been working on trip-hop vocals by herself. They formed Ekos Quartet in November 2005, and recorded their first song, “Fortune’s lake”, in January 2006. During 2007, the band has given many live concerts (including Music Day Fest 07 in Athens) and released the song “Free with you” in “Concealed Truth” compilation by Andrianos Papadeas (June 07). Ekos Quartet have been working on their album that is about to be released in early 2008. This opportunity gave them the courage and the inspiration to start expanding their musical horizons, mixing downbeat, electronica, funk, jazz breaks, alternative rap, and chill sounds, all based on a tripping background and mood. Their aim is to achieve evolution, improvisation, experimentation and originality through their musical journey, during which they can express their emotions and talk about a world that can be more beautiful and charming, rather than controllable and changeable.Click to zoom in on my visitor map!
