Encyclopedia
Re-bE is the latest studio album by Alexia
released by Performance Street in 2010. “Re-bE” was recorded and mixed in studios around the world such as Air Studios, Sphere Studios and worked with the Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra.
Mastering was just completed in London at the Exchange with Mike Marsh at the helm. The Album Re-bE, which consists of 52 tracks on 3 CD's marks the premiere of Alexia as Producer, Composer and Recording Artist all in one. Re-bE has already shown significant sales results from it's original release date in Europe and the UK with unit sales approaching Gold Status.
Re-bE is an eclectic compilation of melodic, theatrical, improvisational tracks, with sultry and inventive orchestrations, moving lyrics and beats! With influences of various genres, from Tango to Classical, Lounge to the Avant - Garde to Experimental, from Jazz to the Big Band Era, from a melodious, of a haunting beauty Love Ballad, "Time/Love me" to an electrifying “The Street I Live”. Theatrical renditions with pulsating beats with "And He Didn't Call", a reenactment of a scene of the phone not ringing, by merely using one phrase: "And he didn't call", reaching a catharsis just as in Greek Tragedies, a 100-piece orchestra to one guitar, from a small jazz ensemble, to Musique concrète, to narratives, to just a Voice. The lyrics of Re-bE are powerfully evocative, poetic. The tracks also encompass Alexia’s musical or narrative description of the cities and countries she has traveled and resided in, Cyprus, Boston, New York, Athens, Greece, in a Creative, Inspiring and innovative way proclaiming “the use of memory as fuel to creativity”. Re-bE could very well be the soundtrack of the film of our lives. It is all about the transformation of our thoughts from whatever state they previously were in, to the only ultimate state there is: POSITIVE, this is the very essence of Re-bE. “Must save the day” recounts the "age - old tale" of racism and discrimination and how the importance of the transformation of thought regarding these two matters is of crucial importance now and always. Acceptance of self and of all without comparing , all equal. So Acceptance as the driving force to a much needed change. The “Raices Volantes” track, in Spanish, also describes the feelings of emigrants, of constant travelers to and from countries within and outside and of jasmine. Our roots are within really.
Alexia says:
«“Re-bE” for me is a very private and a very open self – dialogue.
It is a bridge that has connected me to myself, then back to others again. Anew.
To my expression, my creativity, my joy, to my own truth.
Re-bE is my “scrap paper”, my true rehearsal, my procedure for the procedure with which I became re-connected to my own.
It was a lesson and a quest for love. To re-discover love
Love for me and love for the others
It was a lesson on trust.
Trust first in me then back to trust for the others.
“Re-bE” has led us all to Love.
All of us who worked for its creation and completion.
“Re-bE”, constantly reminded us and taught us over and over again, what Love is and how we could remain in the state of Love.
“Re-bE” has brought together, has united over 300 people: musicians, sound-engineers, the people who continue to work so that “Re-bE” will safely reach you».
