about

Music track 'Hecate' by Anna Stereopoulou was composed between October-November 2017 and functions both as a 'recapitulation' and 'coda' of “electron” project. Inspired by the triple form of Greek goddess, Hecate, the work also functions as a 'bridge' connecting the whole album both with 'c i r c e :the black cut:' project /album, and the whole Research Trilogy of Anna Stereopoulou's, consisting of 'oneirograph' (2007-2010), 'electron' (2011) and 'c i r c e :the black cut:' (2014-2016) projects.
The track starts with 'To Talanton' Greek rhythmic pattern of the previous 'Core' composition, heard in the album, and develops to a cross-genre form of Deep /Ambient Techno, Noise, Experimental, Classical /Cinematic and Traditional music.
Harmonic-wise, it moves through an 'Open Key' Modal form, creating a type of Encoimesis, with three main Themes / Melodic Lines, blending to each other, and enriched with different texts, taken from the composer's so far on-going research; namely, Ancient Asclepions, Minoan Civilisation, Human Ear Structure & Function, Sleep Spindles & Orphic Hymn 86 to Oneiros, Time-Space perception, Heraclitus's “Unity of Opposites” & quote on (Waters') Flow.

About Hecate -Goddess of the Crossroads. She was the (Greek) goddess of magic, witchcraft, the night, moon, ghosts and necromancy. She was the only child of the Titanes Perses and Asteria from whom she received her power over heaven, earth, and sea. According to Diodorus Siculus (4.45.1), one of her offsprings was Kirke (Circe). In statuary Hekate was often depicted in triple form as a goddess of crossroads; she is also most often shown holding a pair of torches or a key. Her name means "worker from afar" from the Greek word 'hekatos'. [text source: www.theoi.com/Khthonios/Hekate.html]
