The Nicosia International Festival presents the latest full-length album of Cypriot singer-songwriter Freedom Candlemaker entitled "Ageless", for the first time in Cyprus. This is a musical performance that travels seamlessly through dreamy psychedelic and esoteric pop, electronica, and nu-folk, constructing a celestial sonic journey.
The core of his latest homonymous work consists of songs that express the spiritual liberation of humanity and the realisation of our inner power. While he tirelessly pursues the transformative voyage towards a state of simple existence, he deconstructs conventional perceptions of time and decay. “Ageless” will feature a large ensemble on stage, with dance and movement enriching the performance and creating an atmospheric, sensual, and theatrical experience.
Previously, Freedom Candlemaker has released the album “Beaming Light” and the singles “Gold”, “I am Love”, “The Win” and “Resurrection”. In the past, he has released music under the name Lefteris Moumtzis and J.Kriste, Master of Disguise.
