Soft Light (Metier)

‘Soft Light’, the new album from Basil Athanasiadis, is a fascinating mix of Greek and Japanese influences. Athanasiadis’ works are characterized by a strong visual identity, brought to life on this album by the ensemble Shonorities. Our CEO, Stephen Sutton, is “delighted to have signed a composer with such a unique and exotic blend of styles”.

Members of Shonorities: Shie Shoji (vocals); Naomi Sato (shō, saxophone); Stelios Chatziiosifidis (violin), Lin Lin (flutes), Jasmina Samsulli (piano).

Seven works composed between 2003 and 2017 which are characterized by an overall subdued, laid-back character, quietness and strong relations to several aspects of Japanese culture, from literature, haiku, Noh dance and the use of the shō. The Japanese aesthetic permeates all and creates a deep impression.
