Lute Electric

In 2015 the first electric lute is constructed on the island of Crete. Its creator and designer Dimitris Sideris attempts a series of improvised music recordings in locations of exceptional acoustics, architectural structure and history. Affected by these features, the musician enters into a state of dialogue with each space, and is inspired for onthe- spot compositions with the electric lute. The film introduces this original instrument/prototype and documents the progress of the project which concludes with a complete music production.
