Who Am I?
I am Filippos Lamprakis, from Heraklion – where my Sundays were filled with municipal band rehearsals and my evenings with piano experiments. With harmony degrees from Merlo and Makridis, I started from school stages and bands in clubs.
Now I compose electronic music with roots in Crete: ambient, synthwave, traditional remixes. I play live at festivals, collaborate with locals, and my music has reached radio stations beyond the island.
Here, at Alcaeus.eu, I share everything – from tracks to workshops. Come, let's create sound together.
My Musical Journey
1
The Beginnings
School stages and my first bands in Heraklion's clubs. That's where it all began – among friends, music, and dreams.
2
Studies & Evolution
Harmony degrees from Merlo and Makridis. Technique met creativity, opening new paths for expression.
3
Electronic Sound
The shift towards electronic music with ambient and synthwave elements. Tradition embraces the contemporary in a new musical language.
4
Today
Live performances at festivals, collaborations with artists, and music that travels beyond the borders of Crete.
My Sound
My music is a fusion of tradition and innovation, where the sounds of Crete meet electronic avant-garde. Each piece is a journey – from the mountains of Ida to the depths of synth.
Ambient Landscapes
Atmospheric compositions that paint soundscapes. Every note is a brushstroke on a breathing canvas.
Ethnic Fusion
Cretan lyra, traditional instruments, and rhythms that converse with modern beats and textures.
Downtempo Vibes
Relaxed grooves that carry you away, perfect for evening moments or Aegean sunsets.
Live Performances
Each live performance is a unique experience – improvisation, loops, and the energy of the audience creating something entirely new every time.
From Heraklion festivals to the most intimate events, I bring with me a palette of sounds that evolves organically. Technology becomes an instrument, and the stage transforms into a sonic playground.
  • Looping & Layers: Building soundscapes in real-time
  • Traditional Instruments: Live lyra and voice
  • Electronics: Synths, pads, and atmospheric effects
  • Improv: Every night is different
Collaborations & Projects
Local Artists
Collaborations with Cretan musicians that bring the authenticity of tradition to contemporary sound. Together we create bridges between generations and styles.
Remixes & Reworks
I recreate traditional pieces with an electronic approach, giving new life to beloved melodies. The old becomes new, the familiar becomes a surprise.
Radio & Media
My music is heard on radio stations and podcasts, reaching listeners beyond Crete and creating a community that shares a love for sound.

My Studio
Where Sound is Born
My studio in Heraklion is a space where technology meets inspiration. From vintage synths to the most modern plugins, I have created an environment that supports my experimental process.
Here I record tracks, mix and master, and collaborate with other artists. It's the space where ideas are transformed into audible music.
  • Modular synthesizers for experimental sounds
  • Vintage and modern recording equipment

  • Traditional instruments always at hand
