Revolving around the drum kit and sampler of Sam Chown (Zorch), Shmu riles the current boundary between live and electronic music.

Punctuated by live instruments, the era-less, indescribable collage of seventies psychedelic rock, eighties dream pop, nineties post-punk, and modern shoegaze is filtered through Chown’s sampler and spat out the other side over and over again.

This distillation process is constant and reflexive, leaving the end result, the full length LP titled “Shhh!”, to sound like the last four decades of human emotion, compressed and remembered in a hazy dream.

About me.
I live in Greece, Athens. I started playing music, since i was 15 years with my first Spanish guitar. Then i bought an electric guitar and electric bass, and played the piano was acquired for my sister !
My first contact with music at my first years of my life, was at the Sundays listening with my father on his turntable by old vinyl like classical songs, classical music and operas. Then i heard at my three years the Pink Floyd (Live at Pompeii) on t.v, and  that touched me forever !
Also i heard the music of Jean Michel Jarre  first time at my 15 years and and then of Vangelis Papathanasiou (Vangelis) and thus i entered the world of electronic music !

I am also very proud for the best collaborations with great artist like, as musicians, composers, poetry writer and many more great people of the arts as well !
My goal is be to create for my listeners, nice feelings, vivid imagination, and also minds journeys ...
My moto is -Life is just music- and i believe the music works as kind of food for spirit and soul, like the food for the human body !  

I am also a self taught photographer and i create my own artworks like, the image covers and my logos.

"You should be making music primarily because you love it. Most everything else is a bonus. If you have fans at all, great. If you can play around your home town, or maybe throughout your country, fantastic. Recording your music should please you first and foremost -- how else could you expect anyone else to get into it? If you do start to become really successful, your troubles will truly begin."
