YANN KEERIM - piano, DIMITRIS TSEKOURAS - base, DIMITRIS EMMANOUIL - drums, SOKRATIS SINOPOULOS - lyra.
The combination of the lyra’s primordial sound with the piano trio, the obvious influences from Balkan and Mediterranean musical traditions, as well as the variety of improvisations based on both folk and jazz music, compose the special acoustic character of Sokratis Sinopoulos Quartet.
Sokratis Sinopoulos notes: “For me, the quartet is the ideal team with which I can explore new compositional ideas and new forms, while what I appreciate and enjoy the most is that we are able to keep the spark lit in such a way that each of our concerts looks like it’s the first time we’ve met to play music together”.
The quartet sets off in 2011, initially working with covers of pieces from the musical traditions of Eastern Mediterranean , and soon focused its work on original compositions by Sokratis Sinopoulos. This material was published in 2015 by Manfred Eicher from ECM records, titled “Eight Winds” (ECM 2407) and received excellent international reviews. It was followed by the second album titled “Metamodal” (ECM 2631) which was published in March 2019.
In their concerts around the world, Sokratis Sinopoulos and his partners present selections from the quartet's discography, with the special way they have through improvisation and their constant interaction with each other on stage to make every concert a unique experience.
