I'm Z,
I'm Z,At 14 years old I knew what I wanted, at 15 I did my first live show, I was playing bass and singing in a band I found through an ad in a magazine. Music is the biggest mystery for me and I want to live in it .
In my Zoe the soundtrack belongs to my musical obsessions, Christian Death,Ministry,God,Einstrurzende Neubauten,16 Horse Power,The Black Heart Procession,Lou Reed,The Cramps,Johnny Cash,Bauhaus,Yannis Christou,Daf,lana del Rey,Can,Jefferson Airplane,Dead Can Dance, Vangelis Papathanasiou,Aphex Twin,NIN,movie soundtracks.
I almost always daydream, I don't stop thinking, I observe less, there have always been and will always be scenarios in my head, my life is like a movie that I watch as it unfolds.
I was born in Athens, I live in Greece and I also lived in Germany.
I did more than 120 Live in 19 countries.
I played music with Cryptic Force,Septic Flesh,Horrified and with Siva Six which is my personal band with 11 releases in the last 20 years.
I love cinema (alternative, experimental, conventional) with a passion, I think it is the superior of all the arts, because it includes the rest, from Mad Max & Warriors that influenced me in my teenage years to Tetsuo, Eraserhead, Near Dark, Book of Eli, Dune, A dark Song, Natural Born Killers, Requiem for a Dream.
Aronofsky, Lynch, Argento, Wenders,Yodorowski,Economidis, Cronenberg (father & son) Coppola,Kubrick,Felini.
History , Sci-fi , Horror , occult & spiritual paths are the basis of the books I am interested in.
William Gibson, Lovecraft, Frank Herbert, A. Crowley,Charles Baudelaire, Father Sheraphim Rose,Kazantzakis..
In the worlds I created through lyrics and music, I had all of the above as an influence and companion, my heroes marginal, their love stories almost always cursed.
Night, clubbing, substances, paradox, twists and turns, hope, disappointment, chaos, order, darkness, light, rehearsals, concerts, travel, make up, stage, love, hate, friendship.
I regret a few, I want more but if I leave tomorrow, I'll be grateful, I did more than I imagined at 14.
I created, I destroyed, I reconstructed, I survived, I evolved.
Zoe is the most subversive, paradoxical and unexpected transformative universal experience, I am glad it was given to me.
As the moon revolves around me and I revolve around the sun I will continue to fall but I will always rise.
