Metamorphosis is an original composition for the lyre and electronics that came to be during improvisations near Nicosia's Buffer Zone in Cyprus.
The melody is dedicated to Nicosia and the in-between state in which the city and its people are for more than half a century after its division into Greek and Turkish-speaking sides in 1963. The Nicosia Wall (or the Green Line) can only be compared to the famous Berlin Wall that fell in 1989. Except that, the division of Nicosia still remains, a division that few people are aware of its existence in the heart of a capital of a European Union country.
In this video, Evagoras Bekiaris plays the keyboard, and he is responsible for the music production of the piece, while Theodore Koumartzis performs on a custom ancient lyre masterfully handcrafted by the LUTHIEROS family in Greece.
