█║░ ░║█
█║░ There is very little information ░║█
█║░ about who exactly is ThΘodore on the ░║█
█║░ press release apart from the fact ░║█
█║░ that he is a young man and that he ░║█
█║░ hails from Greece. A Summer She Has ░║█
█║░ Never Been, A Winter She Fears gives ░║█
█║░ very little more clues, but turns out ░║█
█║░ to be a rather a surprisingly ░║█
█║░ engaging record. ░║█
█║░ A Summerà is a beautifully poetic and ░║█
█║░ evocative piece of work. All along ░║█
█║░ its fifty or so minutes, this album ░║█
█║░ displays stunning little melodies, ░║█
█║░ delicate acoustic instrumentation, ░║█
█║░ found sounds and atmospheric ░║█
█║░ elegance. In the same way as M·m seem ░║█
█║░ to turn rigorous arctic winters into ░║█
█║░ songs, ThΘodore creates with this ░║█
█║░ album a curiously summery soundtrack ░║█
█║░ on which a gentle breeze seems to ░║█
█║░ blow. Although the music is ░║█
█║░ exquisitely modern and fresh, there ░║█
█║░ are some interesting touches of ░║█
█║░ traditional Greek music influences, ░║█
█║░ either in the way ThΘodore arranges ░║█
█║░ sounds and instrumentation, or in the ░║█
█║░ way he develops his melodies. Very ░║█
█║░ perceptible on the crystalline Madam ░║█
█║░ Ortance or the moody After Silence, ░║█
█║░ ThΘodoreÆs cultural roots also ░║█
█║░ transpire in Little Things, Permanent ░║█
█║░ Things, Boring Things, La Mammon or ░║█
█║░ the pastoral Symphony For Toys. ░║█
█║░ ThΘodoreÆs attention to details and ░║█
█║░ his clever juxtaposition of acoustic ░║█
█║░ and electronic elements contribute to ░║█
█║░ A Summerà being a fascinating piece ░║█
█║░ of work on which the light seems to ░║█
█║░ change constantly, revealing new ░║█
█║░ tones, shapes and textures as each ░║█
█║░ track almost imperceptibly ░║█
█║░ progresses. I Dreamt I Was Throwing ░║█
█║░ Stones At The Sea, which opens the ░║█
█║░ album, is a perfect example of how ░║█
█║░ subtle and delicate the manÆs music ░║█
█║░ is. Despite an obvious wave sample ░║█
█║░ providing an all too easy backdrop, ░║█
█║░ the focus here is really on the ░║█
█║░ melody and layered found sounds which ░║█
█║░ weave the emotional canvas of the ░║█
█║░ composition together and ░║█
█║░ progressively develop into an ░║█
█║░ interesting combination. No Spring ░║█
█║░ could appear as a simple extension of ░║█
█║░ the opening track to start with, but ░║█
█║░ ThΘodore soon reveals a more upfront ░║█
█║░ and focused element to his work, ░║█
█║░ which reappears at regular intervals ░║█
█║░ throughout the record. ░║█
█║░ The Greek culture benefit of ░║█
█║░ centuries of Ottoman domination, and ░║█
█║░ this is often palpable in ThΘodoreÆs ░║█
█║░ music, introducing elements of Middle ░║█
█║░ Eastern dissonances and microtonal ░║█
█║░ musical structures (Little Thingsà, ░║█
█║░ She Speaks Mellifluously Of Kings & ░║█
█║░ Poets). At others, he refers to more ░║█
█║░ traditionally Western influences (the ░║█
█║░ dramatic effervescence of Piaf on ░║█
█║░ Montmartre, the electronic classicism ░║█
█║░ of Eno in Isobel). ░║█
█║░ Despite a few obvious pointers (the ░║█
█║░ sea sample on the opening tracks, the ░║█
█║░ accordion of Montmartre) and a ░║█
█║░ pointless moment (Quand On Arrive En ░║█
█║░ Ville), this album is a very ░║█
█║░ interesting piece of work, with some ░║█
█║░ subtle instrumentation and clever ░║█
█║░ sonic display. A Summerà also reveals ░║█
█║░ some fascinating, and slightly ░║█
█║░ unusual, musical constructions, and ░║█
█║░ provides the listener with countless ░║█
█║░ moments of stunning beauty. ░║█
