My Single, 'Regarding the Moon' released on the PK Music label. It's a new composition by Petros Klampanis for string octet, bass, piano, drums and featuring the Baritone Saxophone.
I know it's good because I can listen to myself without distaste. Use the link below to listen on your platform of choice.
I am grateful to Petros for his music and writing, to Rogerio Boccato and Martha Kato for their beautiful playing and all of the musicians and people in Greece that helped make this.

If you've asked me in the last two years what I've been working on I probably told you about a new project. The first installment is almost here.
It has involved two continents, over a dozen musicians, 12 months of relearning the saxophone, and a lot more. I guarantee you haven't heard a baritone saxophone quite like what you'll hear in this piece.
On Friday, December 24th the ΠΚ Music label will be releasing the single 'Regarding the Moon' A new composition by Petros Klampanis (@petros.klampanis) for double string quartet, piano, bass and percussion - that features the Baritone Saxophone.
This is the first in a series of commissioned works for strings and baritone saxophone, a continuing part of my project 'For Us, The Living'. After two years, I'm looking forward to sharing it with you.
