Spice Recs 2nd episode / Gyaros with Kanun

Broadcasting from Syros, just across the sea from the island of Gyaros, this episode traces the echoes of a place once used as a prison for leftists and communists in post-war Greece.

Blending field recordings, archival soundscapes, narration and live kanun improvisation, the show dives into themes of exile, memory, and the use of music — as both a weapon and a refuge.

From the silence of abandoned prisons to the calls of seabirds over Aegean cliffs, we listen to what history tried to bury.
