It all began during the fall of 2009...when a drummer (Thanos Hatzianagnostou) started playing and composing at the piano...and a jazz singer (Irini Konstantinidi) started writing down in words, the stories that each melody was "suggesting"...
A year later, during the fall of 2010, with the significant participation of Dimitris Theoharis (piano) and Haris Mermigas (acoustic bass) and due to their astonishing musicality, this early duet expanded to...The “Wonder-fall” Quartet!
By November 2011 its debut album (containing 10 original compositions) was released, with special guest musician, the renowned player of ney, Harris Lambrakis!
Atmospheric sound, powerful improvisations, lyricism and outbursts of energy constitute the quartet's music.
Mutual trust and freedom flow naturally throughout the group's playing, expressing their deepest will to raise and exalt the Music itself.
Being mostly influenced by the exquisite sound and atmosphere of ECM recordings and the powerful lyricism of Esbjorn Svensson Trio (e.s.t.), the group was bound to shape up its own unique sound and playing...
Thus in the first “Wonder-fall” recording, the quartet has tried to create a sonic environment, in which the listeners would willingly let their senses lead the way to the innermost of their existence…and experience a…”Wonder-fall” trip…!
