There is no fair wind for he who doesn't know where to go.
— Seneca, 1st century CE
"Evageras" is an original composition for two ancient lyres and vocal improvisation. It was written as a ritual song to summon the winds.
In Greek mythology, there were many wind gods, called Άνεμοι, with the main being Boreas (North), Zephyrus (West), Notos (South), and Eurus (East). This ritual song is written to summon Zephyrus, the god of spring breezes.
The melody is performed by Thanasis Kleopas (the Wandering Melodist) and Theodore Koumartzis on two LUTHIEROS ancient lyres, along with Jordan Koumartzis on a LUTHIEROS Electric Upright Bass.
