Big shout out to my crew up in Holland, you can hear my partner/co-producer/best-homey/ Tray tearing it up on the tracks up in the music player here on myspace as well as at the cave31 site. Working with Tray we built up C31 and both learned a lot of the skillz needed in this music game together as a team over the years, you can hear that in our work together.

I designed this myspace page as well as the other etsiproject artists pages, so chek them out in my friends list!More Info about DaGreek a.k.a. Urban Legend a.k.a. Digital Dictator:
I'm Greek-Dutch (with some Portoguese and Indonesian mixed in), and have lived in Saudi Arabia, Greece, Hungary and Holland. I like Greece best somehow. I dont know, I guess its just DaGreek in me.

That means I try to do right by God in my everyday life, and in return I am blessed with all I could ever want or need and so much more.

On a whole other tip, one day a while back I was struck by an overwhelming desire to re-connect with my Greekroots, you know how these things go when you are away from the motherland for too long, so I got a baglama and aTzoura and a Touberleki, and made these videos, to document my progress in learning to play. I can tell you, itaint easy. Turns out I was pretty useless, but my ' Zeibekiko tis Evdokias' video seems to have a lot of fans. Imhonored :-)

Greek Music Theory:

This is a site I made with information about Greek music theory and about the Tzoura and Baglama, which I madeas an aid for myself as I was learning. Now its online. Includes: Scales, Dromous, Harmony and Melody info, Chords,Chord fingering and placement, Quarter tones, rhythms, really a shitload of stuff. It turned out to be... totalyincomprehesible. Only I understand it. Great stuff in other words.
