For many years I had a secret music career. One known only to a few people close to me, in which I wrote thousands of songs, sketched out dozens of albums, but neither completed nor presented any of this work to the public at large. The reasons for this intemperate proliferation of interior life are as densely layered as a galaktoboureko on a hot Athenian afternoon, but they aren’t as interesting as why the work was conceived in the first place. It is this second subject that concerns us here, and for which I invite your participation, in the journey ahead.
