Manteio Music: An Immersive Sonic Journey into The Temple of Oracle

Manteio or the “Temple of the Oracle” channel’s the wisdom of the past into contemporary soundscapes

About The Event 

Manteio is a music collective of four artists with backgrounds spanning lifelong dedication to folk and electronic music, to rigorous classical training from the Royal Academy of Music. We interweave improvisation and tradition to craft immersive sonic journeys. Rooted in the ancient Greek concept of the Manteio—“the Oracle” or “Temple of the Oracle”—we channel the wisdom of the past into contemporary soundscapes, inviting audiences into a deep listening experience that transcends time and culture.

Our work merges Hellenic-Greek, Anatolian, Sephardic, East Asian, and Celtic influences, fusing traditional Turkish percussion, saz, Greek lyre, violin, cello, and an array of traditional flutes with vocal techniques spanning ancient traditions to experimental forms, blending effects and electronics to push sonic boundaries.

By fusing timeless instruments with cutting-edge methods, we blur the lines between past and future, offering audiences a genre-defying experience that celebrates cultural diversity and collective unity.

Christina Deva is a Greek vocal based musician and artist, interested in raw and unfiltered expression, and the power of  transformation through the voice. She views music and voice as a collaboration with collective consciousness, and forces beyond human sentient beings of the many worlds interwoven with our current earthly existence. In the voice resides the history of humanity, the history of the soul from the endless beginning. Through multiple and intricate ways, the voice of the one becomes the voice of the many. Through her music Christina Deva aims to be a mirror of transpersonal metaphors that reflect the horrifying beauty of being alive.
