Tasos Rosopoulos - Composer

Charismatic composer of the new generation. He composes works with different directions and quests, creating a puzzle that unifies them all. ''Music is, like Nature, a superset. It contains infinite combinations of meanings and does not have limited semiotic interpretations like the images used to accompany it.''
