Christos Chondropoulos channels Greek folklore on new album

Depicting peaceful robotic societies in a post-human future.

Athens-based percussionist and producer Christos Chondropoulos is releasing a new album, called Athenian Primitivism, via 12th Isle this April.

Athenian Primitivism features cassette recordings made by Chondropoulos in Athens over the course of the last five years.

Across its 15 tracks he works themes from Greek folklore through a futurist lens depicting robotic societies in a post-human world.

Athenian Primitivism follows 12th Isle’s release of Tarotplan’s Horizontology album — one of our favourite records from February.
