Falling Leaves by Giannis Vakaloudis
An album that looks into the people's tendency to use other people as human shields to protect themselves from their demons, their insecurities, their own selves. My first LP.

This album wouldn't be available to your ears if it weren’t for some wonderful people and the help they provided. A big thank you goes to Philippos Samlidis, Stefanos Sekeroglou, Stamatia Sgouropoulou, Stefanomario Gazilas, Eva Matsigkou, George Karalanidis, Kristallia Litra and Meliana Karta for playing and singing so soulfully and wholeheartedly in this album, as if it was their own. I would like to thank Vangelis Maramis for lending me his Korg M3 keyboard, with which many of the album’s songs were recorded. Big thanks to Stelios Tsompanidis, Michael Karamichalis and AMS studios for the help with the recording of the drums. Huge thanks to Dafni Papastrati for the beautiful work she put creating the artwork and layout design of the album. Big love goes to my mom, dad for believing in me and for their tolerance all those years of experimenting on the home piano and inviting bunches of friends over to hear me play and my little sister who was the only one I let hear the album in it's final stages, for lending me her ears and her constructive criticism. I would especially like to thank my brother Minas, for not only recording electric and double bass in the album, but for being by my side since the beginning of this musical and also emotional trip, giving me his constructive criticism, challenging me and pushing me forward when I felt stuck. I would really like to thank Aris Alvanos not only for all the work he put helping me produce, record, edit, mix and master and also playing in the album, but also for believing in it and investing his personal time and space so that I can feel as comfortable as possible expressing myself, in and out of the studio. I am also very grateful to a lot more people that, in some part of the jourey, in one way or another, helped bring the album into existence. Giannis Karathanos, Dimitris Chatzizisis, Nikos Moraitis, Kostas Makrygiannakis, Lefteris Moumtzis, Christos Rafalides, Dimitris Oikonomou, Sotiris Gazilas, Giannis Kandylas, Maria Siede Spina, Dimitra Charizani, Carlos Aguirre, Juan Quintero, Andres Beeuwsaert, Oren Lavie.
Finally, thank you for listening.
