about

Wavecrusher is a wrong translation from greek for the word breakwater.

Wavecrusher was an area I used to visit.

Some times I still do.

It was a landscape consisted of construction material for breakwaters. It was around a port at southern suburbs of Athens, where I grew up. During the 90s there already was a breakwater there but the plan was to expand it and eventually make it a semi private port area with bars and restaurants. Other parts of the area was mostly used for the Olympic constructions for 2004.

I recall that between 1996? and 2001 there were huge piles of scrap metal, rusted platforms and a forest of big masses of crosslike shaped concrete.


I used to live nearby and I was visiting this site often then but left it, some time later, to live somewhere else.

By 2013, when I returned for a brief period to live there, this sight has been mostly gone.


Now the place I call wavecrusher is reduced to a very small place.



This is a selection of tracks among many other recordings made in 2013.

Some tracks made with sounds of the breakwater itself some from archival material.
