Evis Sammoutis: Atrapós
Evis Sammoutis’ music is a dynamic fusion of physicality, virtuosity, and cultural depth. Drawing on his Cypriot roots and diverse training, his compositions explore tactile soundscapes, poetic contrasts, and neurological aesthetics.
Works like Echopraxia and In Darkness challenge conventions of imitation and vulnerability, while Rhymes and Engravings evoke intricate structures and materiality. Inspired by literature, visual art, and the expressive potential of sound, Sammoutis crafts music that is both intellectually rigorous and deeply visceral. His sonic world balances raw energy with meticulous design, immersing listeners in a space where echoes, gestures, and textures unfold in profound resonance.
