The Amalgamation Project
The Amalgamation project was created by Vasiliki Anastasiou. The project’s heart is around her compositions. It also borrows and re-arranges traditional melodies from countries around the shores of the Mediterranean Sea but also from the whole of the Balkan peninsula. Vasiliki invites guest musicians from different backgrounds usually jazz, classical and folk, to share musical thoughts and experiment with the blend…

The Amalgamation Project - Press Quotes
* “An instrumental voice(…) her latest project called the Amalgamation project is an exciting mix of sounds and styles fearlessly and effortlessly blended with Anastasiou ‘s unique voice providing the perfect glue to bring it all together”. Cyprus weekly magazine
*“Vicky’s style is original. Her music is a fusion of greek music and jazz”. Bonus magazine
*“Let me tell you (…)it was overall one of the highest quality performances of its kind I have ever seen. Full of surprises, twists and musical innovation. The group, the chorus, the technology involved, the variety of selection of the songs, the accuracy on performance, the expressions, the musicians. I wish we had more of this(...) This is the sort of performance that you pay £30-£40 to go and watch in Barbican. Well done for everyone involved!“ The London Greek language Meetup group
*“What an amazing performance!!!! Passionate, Creative, Emotional, Mystical!”
The London Greek language Meetup group
* “(…)The studio may have been small, but the sound Vicky, Ermis and Stelios produced was seriously mind blowing!
The live songs performed were a blend of traditional music from the Mediterranean Sea and Balkan Peninsula complimented with jazz harmonies and grooves: in short an amalgam – a modern concept of traditional music. One of those songs was a delicate but profound interpretation of Misirlou. Vicky’s vocals were sensational, Ermis and Stelios on guitar and Cretan lyra respectively were hypnotising. As a team they interacted with instinct and feeling.
I hope to have them back on the show in the future to perform live again!”
