She is from Greece,she plays theremin and as a matter of fact her theremin is a part of her personality.Her third arm and eye.She used to play as a guest to a lot of musicians here in Greece but her contribution to one of the most important Greek indie/theatrical rock band , 2L8 ( pronounced ''too late''),was the most significant till she begun her already glorious personal career.
MAY ROOSEVELT, a true artist , a sweet girl and a jewel in the crown of the 21st century Greek culture has already released the e.p.''Panda'' in 2009 and the mighty ''Haunted'' in 2011.
''Haunted'' was my favourite album that came from Greece in 2011. As we read the press release..
«.The original idea behind evolved through an intense speculation about the place held by traditional Greek rhythms in the canon of Greek electronic music. This exploration subsequently led to the creative transformation of eight different Greek dances presented in "Haunted".»
Greece traditional dances inspired May to create a modern,dark,poetic electronic magnum opus for the 21st citizens living in big cities. It's the sound of their heartbeat,their dreams and their secret wishes.Notice that all sounds come from theremin,carefully processed to mime traditional instruments.A really exceptional work..
So ,for my first post here in this lovely blog of THE VELVET sl club, I'd like to share with you a video of one of ''Haunted''s highlights..
