日本に居た男 | Man in Japan – Constantine Markopoulos

“Concept Album” A sonic storyboard that transports the listener to an otherwise unreachable place which follows an established theme or motif.

This is the most succinct way I can describe my intention with the “日本に居た男 | Man in Japan” record.

Over a seventeen day solo expedition around the captivating landscapes of Japan I captured both the sounds and vision for the album.

Armed with my childhood curiosity, keen eye and ear for detail, notebook, and field recorder…I found inspiration in the people, places, and rich culture I encountered.

In an attempt to take the audience through my auditory memory, the album’s sequence of recordings and locations follows the chronological order of my trip.

I am proud to present this representation of a powerful moment in time and hope it inspires others to follow their own path.

Studio Synth Jam – Elektron & Arturia Machines

Here I am practicing my live set for a performance next weekend. Stick around until about 9 minutes and you will see my reaction to realizing how many times I made mistakes….that is why I practice! Some of the sounds can be found over on the sample download page for your own use.

Constantine Markopoulos – Falling into Meditations

This is a 30 min mini mix from last year that was spontaneously recorded one sleepy morning. I was in the orchestra for a decade and whenever I compose these classical/electronic/textured/ambient style selections it transports me to the concert hall. Put this one on if you want a half hour of southing sonics.
