SPACE POP

“Kortessa” is my fifth project and represents the colour blue in my Lightbridge-music-prism colour spectrum. The project aims to explore my purest, deepest melodies with the aid of the unique voice of Kortessa. Having worked together in our projects Dol Ammad and Dol Theeta, the Kortessa project will focus more on atmospheric, dreamy and spacey orchestrations with an emphasis on impactful melodies and emotions.

Kortessa is a classically trained singer and musician from Thessaloniki Greece. As a soloist, member of musical ensembles as well as professional choirs, she has appeared in numerous concerts in Greece and abroad. She holds music diplomas in monody, classical guitar and advanced music theory. She teaches guitar and chamber music at the Philippos Nakas Conservatory and directs the conservatory’s Guitar Ensemble.

Kortessa Discography

Blue Star

"Blue Star" is the first track of my new project "Kortessa". It represents a call to Kortessa, it is my vote of confidence in her amazing vocal talents and a leap of faith to enter this new music portal.

The song "Blue Star" feels like a power ballad with a nostalgic nod to something of an 80s style instrumentation. It was very refreshing and challenging to work in such a new style of production and I am very happy with the final result. The song feels catchy and if I had to put a label on it, it would be "Space pop".

The Kortessa project will try to defy standard labels and charaterisations but at the same time it will certainly focus on more atmospheric and dreamy soundscapes compared to my other projects.
