Stamatis Spanoudakis-Absence
이 음악은 2003년에 나온 스타마티스의 앨범 Moments Gone 에 수록된 곡 Absence라는 곡입니다.
거의 2년 전 쯤 전에 <춤>에 관한 다큐멘터리를 만들 때, 테마 음악으로 선곡했던 곡입니다. 비오는 거리를 쓸쓸하게 걷던 여자 주인공의 뒷모습을 롱테이크로 그렸던 장면과 잘 어울렸던 생각이 납니다. 그 후 어느 채널에선가 드라마에서 쓰이는 것을 들은 적이 있습니다.
곡을 쓴 Stamatis Spanoudakis, 이 사람도 그리스 사람이네요. 반젤리스도 그리스 사람인데, 그리스인들은 뉴에이지라는 쟝르에 강한 걸까요?
대학 시절 나의 대장이었던 카잔차키스의 죠르바도 그리스 사람이군요. 죠르바랑 맥주 마시면서 영혼이 자유롭게 되는 법에 대하여 얼마나 많은 수다를 떨었었는지. 그리고 죠르바의 할아버지 이야기도 생각나네요. 할아버지가 해지는 마을 어귀, 볕 잘드는 의자에 앉아 있다가 마침 그곳을 지나는 마을 처녀를 불러놓고 두손을 꼭 잡고 갑자기 흐느껴 울었답니다. 어린 죠르바가 왜 우는지 묻자, 할아버지가 "이것들을 두고 가자니 아까워서 그런다" 고 했다던...
저는 아마 그리스 사람들을 좋아하나 봅니다.

Stamatis Spanoudakis
Composer
Stamatis Spanoudakis was born in Athens Greece. Very early on he began to occupy himself with music. He first studied Classical music (guitar and theory).
He later played guitar and keyboards in a number of bands., in the sixties and the seventies, in Athens, Paris and London where he lived and recorded his first albums. He was later attracted again to Classical music and returned to his studies of composition, first in Konstantinos Kydoniatis.
He was then attracted to his third love - Byzantine music, which led him to Greek songwriting and instrumental music. Since then he is consciously trying to reconcle his three musical influences (Rock, classical and Byzantine), in his music.
He wrote numerous hit songs (words and music) for most major Greek singers. He also wrote the music for many succesfull films in Greece, Germany and Italy, for the theater and television and has recorded so far more than fifty albums. Since 1994, he concentrates on instrumental music, on Greek historical or religious themes, a music that has an unprecedent appeal, with all his records turning gold and platinum, with minimum effort and very rare appearances in public.
Stamatis lives in a quiet suburb with his wife Dori and their four dogs.He has his own studio where he records his music, being the composer, arranger, producer, performer and engineer of his work.
