About this event
Pink color doesn’t exist. We literally fool our brain to see it. Imagine if you can create such color as pink what else you can create!
A musical journey that goes through three parts:#
I. The light
II. Metamorphosis
III. Liberation
II. Metamorphosis
III. Liberation
„It’s a story of a girl who left her homeland and traveled in search of happiness to find that everything we need is hidden within us that happiness is different for everyone and is something what others cannot see what we can see. This girl came from an island. An island full of water and light. The trilogy is called Prisoner K. It’s a play on words, with the word PINK hiding inside. Since the color pink does not exist as light (or colour), but is simply created artificially in the brain, the entire trilogy revolves around this theme. Still, we see this color and for this girl
PINK is the freedom of being“
PINK is the freedom of being“
She has found that the color PINK is often seen in water and there, where is a lot of light. PINK is everything we can’t see. It does not exist outside of you. PINK is something you create and it’s already inside you! You have to release it & let it shine!

3. Bio & Album Info
The Greek born music producer, singer/songwriter & videomaker Elisa – Irini Vidalis aka CALMDOWN and her music, has been in the underground scene for a while now. Lately she collaborated with music producer and Trip Hop Pioneer Howie B (Björk, Brian Eno, U2, Tricky a.m), with him doing a remix for her latest single “Seasalt Symphony – Part I/ Preface”. Her project ”PRISONER K” was selected and funded and gave her the possibility to finish her upcoming album – the 3rd part of her trilogy – that she plans to drop out in 2022 under the name ”PINK”.
The album goes back to her roots! The Island that shaped her, all what followed that reformed her, to end in a place where she wants to be, reminiscing the days of getting lost in the water, feeling free and staring at endless possibilities. An island full of water and light, two elements that are very present in the album.

”I wanted to create an album that everytime I hear it I feel peace, gives me strength and hope, doesn’t lie to me and engourages me. A Friend – Album. It’s like ok! Whatever, better will come you know! But do something if you want better! Work on yourself and most importantly start loving yourself! Give time! Be patient! Cry or laugh the shit out of you! Kind of nirvana! Stay alone with your fear. Give it time to bloom. Understand it & watch it disappear. Make fun of it! That’s my perspective! It’s all about Perspective! There is no easy way & not fast way either! We are there, where we choose to be. We create where we want to be. That’s pink! “
