Experimental Electronic Music
Through his retro-futuristic alter ego Starcadian, George Smaragdis transformed memory into music—channeling the faded glow of 80s analog culture into vivid, cinematic soundscapes. With every synth line, he rewound time, crafting not just songs, but immersive “ear movies” where disco, sci-fi, and nostalgia collided. What began as a creative spark shared between friends became a cult-favorite legacy—one that continues to resonate with warmth, wonder, and interstellar groove.
Four quite open and complex questions are the starting point for the creation of a rather personal guest mix that blends sound, imagination and memory. This new series is curated by sound artist and music producer Maria Papadomanolaki also known as Dalot for Igloo Magazine. Interlude focuses on female artists and aspires to highlight how exceptional, skillfully crafted and varied the responses can be. Interlude #1 :: Karen Vogt
