bio.
Born in Athens in 1949, Vangelis Katsoulis studied music in Greece and Germany. The composer made his debut in 1975. His compositions have been performed in Greece and abroad ever since. Up until 1979, Katsoulis' music is influenced by the avant garde movement of that time. After 1979, he turns into minimalism, while three years later he applies elements of jazz and rock into that genre. At the same time, he forms a collective of musicians, enhancing that style as well as improvisation in his new compositions. In 1981 he takes a grant from the AMERICAN FOUNDATION FOR PERFORMANCE ARTS. Since 1983, the use of music technology becomes gradually apparent in his compositions, exploiting technological advancements, without diminishing the importance of the human factor and the creative involvement of the performer. Today, he is striving for simplicity, trying to express the most, using the least. In addition to symphonic, chamber, choral works and songs, Katsoulis has also composed numerous soundtracks and music for the theatre, as well as for the radio and television. He was awarded the first prize for best soundtrack at the 1994 THESSALONIKI INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL. Furthermore, he has collaborated with a number of Greek and international choreographers, a creative impulse that has influenced his music. Apart from composing, Katsoulis explored the recording production area and founded a small record company as well as a professional recording studio. He has an extensive discography and for many years was a friend and an associate to Manos Hadjidaki"s infamous managing of the Third Program of Public Broadcasting Radio. - extracts from Vangelis Katsoulis Website
