Tethrippon were formed in the autumn of 2006 by Constantinos and Demetrios in Nothern Hellas. Their purpose is to serve a delicate aesthetic and to pay tribute to their ancient ancestors One of their major beliefs is that the creative and bright conscience of a people has to be based upon the respect to their history, their tradition and the heroic achievements of their predecessors. Inspired by ancient Hellenic philosophy, poetry and culture, always proud, they try to harmonize all that wealth with the tough and cold spirit and practics of nowadays. Maybe that seems utopic but nothing is impossible for a virtued, peaceful man, armed with the ability for an optimistic approach of things and situations. Demetrio’s music cannot be easily characterized because he achieves all his compositions by combining various positive elements. That gives to Tethrippon the potential of being attractive and multi dimensioned.
Mediterranean delicacy, epic character, central and Northern European aura, create an atmosphere intense and gentle at the same time. Symphonic and orchestral soundscapes, so close to the repercussion of an epic soundtrack, darkened or enlightened, moving or joyful, pagan or majestic, come to match with Constantinos vocals and lyrics, giving the final result. Constantinos started the lyric procedure, first by emphasizing to the charm and the universal symbolism of the ancient epic poems of Orpheus, old as man himself, waving between myth and history, in a dream like dimension of internal peace, virtue and total attachment to the blessing and warmth of the Apollonian light. That blessing comes to touch today’s people’s hearts. Songs about mother nature, Apollon, God of music and light, Erotas, God of love, Prometheus, tragic bringer of peaceful fire, father Sun, songs about eternal heroes who have spilled their noble blood into the Altar of freedom and decency, aim ambitiously to enchant people with fragile, romantic hearts and self respect.
