Nostos is a concept album, an ode, and a simulation.
The listener is invited into a type of game - to live vicariously through dreams, memories, and reiteration.This work aims to produce a sonic and the- atrical experience fit to describe, express, provoke, and soothe the fractured postpost- modern mind, while reflecting on themes of nostalgia. In creating our emotion radio, we rely heavily on personal as well as cultural background: the soviet and the yankee are superimposed into a blurry notion of ‘home’: the freedoms we enjoy, and the transgressions we miss.
