August 2024 | ``Sacrifice`` (=θυσία)
August's playlist is inspired by the concept of 'sacrifice' as a philosophical path that humanity has often walked to reach personal, collective, or religious 'summits'—a unique, personal paradise. Visually, it is adorned by the work of British-Indian sculptor Anish Kapoor, titled 'Sacrifice,' a striking and multifaceted piece that explores the notion of sacrifice through materiality and form. Using vivid color and fluid shapes, this artwork challenges the viewer to reflect on the concept of sacrifice, whether it be personal, social, or spiritual.

April 2024 | Earth Day
The April playlist is inspired by Earth Day. It explores the theme of Earth, its characteristics, energy, symbols, power, and its impact on humanity and the human spirit. This theme has been a timeless subject in art, particularly in music, spanning from classical compositions in the early 1800s to 70s indie rock bands that embraced the early environmental movements. Artists expressed concerns about Earth's evolution, human behavior towards it, and fears of its vengeance or ultimate destruction through their sounds and lyrics. The playlist spans decades, featuring the unique contributions of Vangelis (Vangelis Papathanassiou), who notably connected music not only with Earth but also with the beyond. Starting and ending with Vangelis the playlist reflects the passionate exploration of Earth and everything that defines or accompanies it.
March 2024 | Dedicated to Wim Wenders
The March playlist draws inspiration from the great German filmmaker Wim Wenders and the music that has adorned his unique films. From the nostalgic 70s and the trilogy of road movies ``Alice in the Cities,`` ``Wrong Move,`` and ``Kings of the Road,`` to the more stylized, ambitious, and expansive 80s with ``Wings of Desire`` and the Golden Palm-winning ``Paris, Texas,`` Wenders' cinematic journey has been accompanied by a diverse range of music. Whether exploring the music history of Buena Vista Social Club or collaborating with the renowned contemporary choreographer Pina Bausch, Wenders has continually pushed the boundaries of storytelling through sound. Today, his masterpiece of aesthetics and narrative, ``Perfect Days,`` marks his return to the big screen.
February 2024 | Human Nature
February's playlist, delves into the depths of human nature's complexity, exploring vulnerability and emotional healing. It functions as a sort of self-session, a reflection session. It offers a deep contemplation on the fragility of our emotions and relationships with others. Ultimately, it seeks ways to fortify our walls. As the Tindersticks say, 'Find a way to be whole again'... The playlist starts with an indie rock approach, then incorporates folk rock elements, and leads into more experimental sounds before returning to its initial rock vibe. The reason being that these three genres, along with freestyle hip-hop which wasn't included, are the ones through which their representatives have expressed their deepest emotions, reflections, and sensitivities.
January 2024 | Yves Klein's list
Fire symbolizes transformation, change, and energy, making it a fitting conceptual connection to January, the first month of the year, which more literally signifies a new beginning, a change, a transformation, a new energy. Fire is also light, thus lending an atmosphere of mystery and spirituality. Ultimately, it leads to the rebirth and renewal of the spirit
