Sounds from Crete, crashing like waves – Filippos Lamprakis
Welcome to a world where the lyra meets the synth, and tradition dances downtempo. From the alleys of Heraklion, I bring ambient melodies and remixes that evoke the Aegean. Listen now – the music awaits.
Ambient groove with Cretan motifs. A track that started as an evening stroll in Heraklion, where the sounds of the night meet the pulse of contemporary electronic music.
Echoes of Crete (Remix)
Traditional with a synthwave twist. A folk cover with non-stop beats – a journey through time that unites past and future.
Waves & Whispers
Downtempo lyricism. For those moments when you want to get lost in the sounds of the Aegean, where every note is a wave that carries you away.
Latest Live Set
From the Heraklion festival. Improvisation with voice and loops – come with me on this live journey where every moment is unique.
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.
School stages and my first bands in Heraklion's clubs. That's where it all began – among friends, music, and dreams.

Live Performances
Each live performance is a unique experience – improvisation, loops, and the energy of the audience creating something entirely new every time.
