Thanos Gountanos
Thanos Gountanos was born in Thessaloniki, Greece in 1983 and six years later had his first touch with the guitar. He studied classical guitar with Costas Cotsiolis, advanced music theory (harmony, counterpoint, fugue) with Vassilis Kitsos and composition with Michalis Lapidakis at the Musical Department of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. At the same time his interest turned to balkan and anatolian modal music while studying laouto, lavta, oud, and saz. This led to discovering the fretless guitar next to Erkan Oǧur in Istanbul. Gradually he developed a unique style on guitar blending modal, classical and modern music.
As a professional musician he participated in numerous concerts and recordings in Greece and Europe with various projects and artists. Indicatively some of them are: BAiLdSA (balkan-gypsy-punk), Loxandra (Eastern Mediterranean-World Fusion), SoskeNanay? (turkish-gypsy), Modal4 (contemporary modal), MustakBajam (psychedelic modal), Čači Vorba (Polish gypsy), Plaza Quartet, Ross Daly, Evanthia Reboutsika, Dilek Koç, National State Theater of Northern Greece, Symphonic Orchestra of Thessaloniki and many more.
