GIORGOS SKARLATOS (Ex–Magic de Spell & Art Telepaths)
A presence, a story, an era.
Mr. “Ex–Magic de Spell – Art Telepaths”, founding member of the band, voice and bass, joins us live in the studio for two hours.
From the punk scene of the ’80s to the present day.
From Magic de Spell, back then, to Art Telepaths today, the journey of Greece’s alternative rock scene unfolds through the voice of Giorgos Skarlatos—with stories, a recently published poetry collection, and so much more, because… “Souls know the way”!
“The most wondrous journey we’ve learned about is in the Odyssey—the famed voyage to Ithaca. Even though the poet chooses to focus on the hero Odysseus, there are many companions with lives of their own—perhaps less important to the rhapsode’s listeners, but deeply meaningful to those who lived them. And those were the ones Odysseus had, those he took with him.
So, I believe the question of who I’d want to travel with is not easily answered. You never truly know who should be beside you. Because every journey is different for everyone.”
