RIZITIKO: PAST AND FUTURE
In this lecture Rena Rasouli will present Cretan Folk Music. Particular attention will be paid to the oldest type of Cretan Music, the “Rizitika” Songs, and their origin and content analyzed while listening to examples. Furthermore Rena will refer to her B.A thesis “Music performance based in traditional dialect focuses on the healing ability of sound” in which she used “Rizitika" songs as a “loan”, creating a sound mosaic made up of field recordings, synthesizers and traditional melodies of 5 Rizitika songs.
