Hometaping started off somewhere between 1995 and 2000 though this is not verifiable.
The sound emerged as a need to record anything, anytime, anyplace, anyhow. The songs ended up like out-of-tune pop monsterpieces.
Subjects are drawn out of simple everyday life experience (war and sodomy, isolation and imprisonment, hospitals and public toilets, weddings and funerals, sexual violence in art, the nude in theatre, frenzied mothers in voodoo practices, desperate lovers, exploitation in love, forgotten actresses in tombs, socialism and capitalism etc.) and develop in an inescapably delirious way.
The vocals are lyrically deranged. Throughout the songs one can recognize a twisted adherence to symmetry along with discomfort in harmony. Denial of all human ear advancements in recorded sound perception and love for more or less crude techniques in song production.
Influences are obvious but not completely. All music genres of the 80?s (electro pop, new wave, italo, experimental, mainstream etc.) mixed with elements of Greek music of the century, inevitably ringing in the ears, running through the veins, dancing in the genes, abiding in cells .
