Mohammad
Mohammad is a Greek drone group formed by cellist Nikos Veliotis, ILIOS on oscillators and Coti K on contrabass. The trio set out to explore the intermodulation between bowed strings and electronic tones, building slow, very low blocks of sound that also draw on folk music from Greece and nearby regions. It later continued as a duo of Veliotis and ILIOS, sometimes under the name MMMΔ. Mohammad released its first two albums on the Antifrost label. Som Sakrifis (2013), the trio's third album and its first for Bill Kouligas's PAN, holds three long pieces.
