Fivos music has inspired me from the day 1 we "met".
It  started with "Nighty Walker" experience. Then maybe you have heard "The next film"...

Now all that you may hear or feel through this is the result of the instant. 

To me, it is always a genuine pleasure to let my voice go with such a sensitive piano,
always trying to deliver a message of authenticity music only brings in improvisation...


Thank you Fivos, my friend, for letting your music breathe through me.

The Dance of Zalongo
June 2018
During the Souliote War in Greece, December 1803, the Souliotes began evacuating Souli after their defeat by the forces of the local Ottoman-Albanian ruler, Ali Pasha. During the evacuation, a small group of about 60 Souliot women and their children were trapped by Ali's troops in the mountains of Zalongo in Epirus. In order to avoid capture and enslavement, the women threw their children first and then themselves off a steep cliff, committing suicide.  According to the legend, they jumped down the precipice one after the other while singing and dancing. 
The name, Dance of Zalango, also refers to a popular Greek dance-song commemorating the event.  I was moved by the story and the dance song to create this music.
Painting by Ary Scheffer, Les Femmes souliotes ("The Souliot Women")
Duration: 3:00
For strings, flute, alto flue, oboe, english horn, contrabassoon, harp, celeste and percussion.

About Time

About Intermezzo D'Anniversaire by Danae Vlasse: This piece is a Theme and Variations on the famous Op118 No2 Intermezzo by  Johannes Brahms. It develops my favorite 8 measure theme from the original work and was specifically composed in the style of Brahms. The second section in this piece is built on specific pitches such that it incorporates a message for the recipient of the commission "Joyeux Anniversaire Karen" ("Happy Birthday Karen").

Winner: MTAC Composers Today 2014 First Place in Composition "Advanced Work" Category.

Winner: Radio Music Awards 2016 "Best Classical Recording" Category.

The piano score is available for purchase - contact the composer for information!

I tell my stories through my own composed (and improvised) instrumental guitar music, using a combination of acoustic guitars, sometimes supported by orchestral instruments. Some have described my music as meditative, relaxing, and introspective, with a touch of melancholia and a distinctly Spanish flair. Listen for yourself and let me know what stories my music tells you.
