Stefanos Kozanis’ album ‘Asterismyth’ is a remarkable blend of jazz, classical, and Greek traditional influences, designed as a musical exploration of constellations and their mythological counterparts. Each track on the album tells a story, intertwining intricate melodies with atmospheric soundscapes to evoke the timeless beauty of the stars and the myths surrounding them. Featuring a talented ensemble of musicians, including Katerina Konstantinou, on vocals and recitation, the album crafts a cinematic journey that spans twelve tracks, each representing a different celestial figure.
Opening with “Cygnus”, the album sets a delicate yet expansive tone. The piece is soothing and ethereal, with a blend of piano and violin that paints an image of the graceful swan in the night sky. “Gemini” follows, its lively rhythm and interplay between instruments representing the duality of the twins. The track flows seamlessly into “Centaurus”, which introduces a more dynamic energy. The layered strings and piano combine to evoke the complexity and strength of the centaur, while “Hercules” captures the hero’s epic scale with bold, striking arrangements that reflect power and determination. The album then moves into “Leo” and “Virgo”, which are more introspective and elegant. “Leo” roars with its dramatic flair, while “Virgo” calms the listener with its gentle, almost celestial beauty.

As the album progresses, “Orion” and “Perseus” stand out as more expansive, cinematic pieces. The grandeur of these constellations is expressed through bold piano strokes and sweeping violin lines, bringing to life the strength and adventure of the myths they represent. The latter half of the album introduces “Pegasus”, “Andromeda”, and “Cassiopeia”, each track shimmering with celestial grace and storytelling depth. ‘Asterismyth’ closes with “Corona Borealis”, a serene yet powerful piece that leaves a lasting impression. Through ‘Asterismyth’, Stefanos Kozanis masterfully blends history, myth, and music into a captivating listening experience, transporting the listener into a world of stars and ancient stories.
