Item Description

For centuries, the songs of the monks from Mount Athos have echoed across the deep waters of the Aegean Sea, heard only by the pilgrims fortunate enough to visit this secluded community—one removed from the traditional conception of time and major world events. Athos: Echoes from the Holy Mountain seeks to present this living heritage through a 2xLP album and an accompanying artbook, available in English, Greek, and French. This project invites contemporary artists and researchers to approach, revisit, and discuss its modern implications.

This limited release includes a 2xLP vinyl compilation with twenty tracks, combining original archival recordings from Mount Athos and new takes by contemporary artists as Jimi Tenor, Holy Tongue, Jay Glass Dubs, Gilb’r, Inre Kretsen Grupp, Prins Emanuel or Murat Ertel.
