«Nectar 0.165''» was composed by Anna Stereopoulou between January - February 2015 and it is a thematic proem of her project and album « c i r c e :the black cut: » (album release: May 30th, 2015) .
The piece represents a scene dreamt by the composer (02/2014), which could be located anywhere between the Springs of Acheron River (Preveza, Epirus), the Oracle of Trophonius (Lebadaea, Boeotia) and a hidden spot in the southern part of Katapola port (Amorgos, Cyclades) -all areas (in Greece) visited by Anna in the past- or in any place somewhere in Time.
A reference to Naiad Nymph Herkyna (Trophonius's daughter and Persephone's childhood companion) lies within the title, while the use of the word Nectar (sweet liquid in flowers, known as the drink of the gods) can also imply an offering and it is a compound of nek- (Gk; νέκ) "death" and -tar (Gk; ταρ) "overcoming," /"to cross over, pass through, overcome"; i.e. to beat death. Nevertheless, many locations, mythological and medieval elements and various music genres have given inspiration to form the present composition.
