🎙️ Pausis Ancient Music Ensemble - a Secret Form of Communication
A parallel unobserved form of expression behind the obvious, the unseen point where all obvious forms of communication (dialogue, sounds, gestures, writing) communicate and become capable of expressing something higher than their sum.

🎙️ Παύσις - μια μυστική μορφή επικοινωνίας
Μια παράλληλη αθέατη μορφή έκφρασης πίσω από το προφανές, το αθέατο σημείο όπου όλες οι προφανείς μορφές επικοινωνίας (διάλογος, ήχοι, χειρονομίες, γραφή) επικοινωνούν και γίνονται ικανές να εκφράσουν κάτι ανώτερο από το άθροισμά τους.
Φωνή: Rui Fu | Αρχαίο Bendir: Nikos Varelas | Αρχαία Ελληνική Λύρα: Theodoros Koumartzis
⚪ Παύσις (lat. pausa)
Pausa is actually a necessary element for every kind of communication of verbal, artistic, stochastic music. With both philosophical and literal dimensions, friendship, love, time, life itself become ill at the moment when the internal dialogue ceases and in the space that is created all becomes One.
Στοιχείο απαραίτητο για κάθε μορφή επικοινωνίας λεκτικής, μουσικής καλλιτεχνικής, στοχαστικής. Με φιλοσοφικές αλλά και κυριολεκτικές διαστάσεις, η φιλία, ο έρωτας, ο χρόνος, η ίδια η ζωή αποκτούν νόημα στην στιγμή εκείνη που παύει ο εσωτερικός διάλογος και στον χώρο που δημιουργείται, όλα γίνονται Ένα.
