Phasenmensch has created a beautiful video for my track Story of a city taken from my album Loop Over Latitudes (n5MD, 2010).

Last year, I contributed some guitars, vocals and sounds to two beautiful albums by my friend dergar, an ambient electronic musician based in Chania, my hometown. These two albums are part of dergar's commisioned work for dance and film. The first one is an alternate soundtrack to the German expressionist film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and the second one is the music backbone of a contemporary expressive dance performance entitled nobody asked about the red shoes..., inspired by H. C. Andersen’s fairy tale. dergar has recently made these two albums available for purchase on his bandcamp page.

March has been a busy month for Dalot. I have contributed three remixes, two of which have been released within the past few weeks. The first one is a remix I did for German industrial-electronic producer Phasenmensch for his track Thesis (watch the video by Phasenmensch), off his upcoming album. I have also been informed that Wolfram of Phasenmensch is currently producing a video for a track off my "Loop Over Latitudes" album.

The second one is a remix I did for Cloudcub. They have recently released their second full length album entitled Little Noises, Big Sounds, from which I created a rework of the track Space Song.

Tracks from Haikus 23 will be used in a variety of creative projects including a video game as well as a multimedia piece by documentary photographer Fabian Weiß.

Kasetina is a collaborative project between Dalot, Filtig and Leaf Loft. Our first release paid tribute to 10 Greek pop songs from the 80's, early 90's by turning them into shoegaze-dream pop anthems. We recently released our second compilation, expolring the sounds of the Greek punk/hardcore scene of the same era. With a darker mood, inspired by the aesthetics of minimal synth music, Kasetina II offers a selection of 11 known and unknown gems from the Greek DIY scene.
