Daemonia Nymphe

Daemonia Nymphe (Δαιμόνια Νύμφη) is a band established in Athens in 1994 by Spyros Giasafaki and Evi Stergiou. The band's music is modeled after and is often categorized as ethereal, neoclassical, neofolk or gothic.
Daemonia Nymphe uses authentic instruments, including lyra, varvitos, krotala, pandoura and double flute, which are made by the Greek master Nicholas Brass. Their shows are very theatrical, with members wearing masks and ancient dress. Their lyrics are drawn from Orphic and Omeric hymns and Sappho's poems for Zeus and Hekate.

"Hello and welcome!

The old songs of unwritten tradition, timeless and dark stories mediates in his mouth."
I got involved with the Jouhikko in 1997 in the Ala-K

Pocahaunted

Pocahaunted are Bethany and Amanda. They live in Eagle Rock, California. They describe themselves as "the olsen twins of blissed out drone". They play a unique brand of hypnotic droning psychedelic bliss, an earthy sound conjuring unearthly visions. With Bob Bruno (of Goliath Bird Eater), they produced their most focused, complete and fully realized effort to date in the "Island Diamonds" LP - a dubbed-out, grimy affair that still manages to maintain the supernatural aura of their previous material.
