A music composer of electronic POP music<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cElectronic music creates a new enchanting sound, which can be heard by most people on Earth, however the charm of the sound of natural musical instruments is\u00a0 gradually diminishing\u201d, reported to \u201cIn-On\u201d magazine Mrs Olga Kouklakis, a music composer of electronic POP music.
\nIn cooperation with the French producer Marc Collin, she created the new C.D \u201cGeta Life\u201d, which has been released in France since January 2008, whereas the cover page was attended to by the Greek graphic designer Antonis Lomverdos.
\nFurthermore, she underlined that the preparation of her new C.D has started and it is due to release in 2009. Four years were needed for the first C.D to be\u00a0 completed while living in France, she added. Also she continued saying that she was asked this year to write the music of two silent films of 1924, one Greek and one French.
\nMrs Olga Kouklakis grew up in Athens but her origins are from village Kefalas, Rethymnon, Crete. Music came to her life at the age of eight, when she started attending piano lessons. Her great love is classical music, but she believes that cultural globalization is realized through modern electronic music, where all nations, despite their differences, come closer together.
\nShe mentioned that music \u201cbrings people together but for this to be accomplished, new sounds must be created, probably not so close to people\u2019s\u00a0 traditions. It not absolutely necessary when we listen to a musical piece to comprehend its country of origin, since the point is to love and want to listen to it. Electronic music in not considered commercial and Folk and classical pieces can be performed, as well. However, as there are tendencies in every kind of music namely electronic music, which is fast and repetitive, the message is clear: the pace and boredom of modern industrialised cities is show\u201d.
\nApart from studying music, Mrs Olga Kouklakis attended the School of Graphics and Art in a Technological Educational Institution. She explained that the particular School helped her realise that \u201cthe artist must be flexible, not totally absorbed in his own art. For instance a sculptor should complete studies in a corresponding school because then he\/she would be able to project his\/her work better using the latest digital technology and the Internet\u201d. Regarding the Greek and particularly Cretan music, she commented that \u201c unfortunately music composers are unknown abroad because their work is not properly and continuously advertised. Maybe it is not to our concern, but if we want our music to be loved, we should present it regularly contacting with International Recording Studios. Cretan music can illustrate new paths, which can be incorporated to new International music collections\u201d.<\/p>\n
