After 40 years in journalism, Fotis Apergis treasures unknown stories and confessions of famous artists, revealing that the production of art once mattered more than the art of production.
He narrates how he shared an almost metaphysical experience with Mikis Theodorakis at the grave of Pablo Neruda in Chile. How he met James Brown shortly after his release from prison, as well as Akis Panou while he was on trial in the Komotini Prison.
He converses with dozens of musicians, distilling the essence of their experiences, drawing out incidents and memories that defined them. Manos Hatzidakis recalls the prostitutes who hid him during the turmoil of the Civil War in 1945, when he was a young member of the EPON.
Mick Jagger talks about the tumultuous Rolling Stones concert in Athens in 1967. Paul McCartney recalls teenage stories he shared with John Lennon. Madonna confesses her greatest nightmare. Juliette Greco gives her own definition of eroticism. Lucio Dalla recounts how he recorded Marcello Mastroianni rapping. Flery Dandona reveals her fears in front of an audience. And Eric Clapton discusses how he faced the death of his four-year-old son.
Read the cutting remarks exchanged between Iannis Xenakis and Pierre Boulez in two interviews one day apart. How Dionysis Savvopoulos illegally recorded some of Manos Loizos' "Negro" songs shortly after the 1967 coup. How Leonard Bernstein sang “Gerakina” in an orchestra rehearsal. How, ultimately, each of them approached music and experienced it as an existential imprint, an enigmatic riddle, an inner dialogue, a spontaneous overflow, a field of experimentation.
