Clock it Broke it Feel it Block it “Castform Disaster” is a magical wheel of fortune. The wheel includes 8 symbols: Sun Cloud Rain drop Storm Air Fog Snow and Blizzard. Based on the symbol it lands on; it’ll change the temperature between you and your significant other For 24 hours accordingly Sun will make him shine Clouds will make him hide Rain will take him back Storm will bring him back Air he’s going high Fog he’s still alive Snow will crystalize And the blizzard makes you think twice

Origami 02:33
Wondering how We’ll make it back to Japan To fall in tears with cherry blossoms Or learn how to make Origami Is it possible or Should I should draw A very very dark sea To travel by boat Origami At that point I should have really should known Why people looking the crow I used to feed all day long Origami Is it possible or Should I should draw A very very black field To run through forests I know We’re like them We can no more look back I should tell It’s a wonderful start Wondering how We make it back to Japan To give the message To the one That he’s been hiding in yards Origami Is it possible or Should I should draw A very very yellow pillow Turn my dreams into gold Origami We don’t care We can no more look back I should tell It’s a wonderful start Paper flowers Paper planes Paper toys Paper cranes Paper names Paper hearts It’s time to Make everything from scratch Wondering how we’ll make it back to Japan To fall in tears with cherry blossoms Or learn how to make Is it possible or should I Should tell We can always relate But we’ll be never the same But we’ll be never the same Origami

about

TALKSHOW is Kristof's third album.

The ten tracks were originally written as cabaret numbers for piano-voice in 2017 in Athens and Berlin. They later took the form of an album and were recorded in Athens during 2019 with producer Vassilis Dokakis. They can stand independently, but also as a single beginning-to-end project.

The inspiration for TALKSHOW came from a lyric of Lena Platonos from her iconic album Sun Masks: "we talk and we don't understand each other..." It is a concept album and it is about a Talk-show that happens somewhere in Kristof's mind, where the presenter and the interviewer is the same person. It's a record for the voices that reside in his/our head…. About the things we see and do not talk about, about magical objects, about drama-queen situations, about the "old" who talk about the "old", about anxiety disorders and about those of us that talk to ourselves and not about us.

The tracks are divided into sections:
Intro-Outro (Talkshow, Small Talk)
The “interview” (Pink, Orange, Gray)
The introvert-extrovert monologues of the host (Bubbles, The Yoga Class, Origami)
The magic ads (Karma Cut!, Castform Disaster)
