Multi-instrumentalist And Composer Theodore Releases New Single

Multi-instrumentalist and composer Theodore releases yet another atmospheric single titled 'Spit Blood Out (Single Version)' on June 8th via United We Fly. Following the release of last stirring single, 'Towards? (for what is to come)', the Greek performer has already garnered considerable success with his previous album It Is But Its Not which was co-produced by Clive Martin (Queen, Reef) mixed by Ken Thomas (Sigur Rós, Moby, M83) and performed live at the fabled Studio 2 at Abbey Road Studios. With over 1.7 million Youtube views, he has received radio play from the likes of BBC Radio 6 Music's Lauren Laverne and French station RadioKC, included as part of NPR Music's 'SXSW 2018: Our Favorite Discoveries And Memorable Moments' and has received support from publications such as CLASH Mag, Music, Week, FGUK, Gaffa, Tsugi and Szene. Theodore has graced the stages of Live at Heart Festival and Reeperbahn Festival -where he was named Best Performance Of 2017. He supported Sigur Ros and DIIV at Release Festival (Athens) in 2016, has just performed Eurosonic Noorderslag and showcased his talents at this years SXSW Festival.

Based in Athens, Theodore's schooling in piano and traditional Greek folk music lead to a professional music career in London, where he studied Music Composition in 2011. Theodore has written music for theatrical pieces such as Matina Megla's Window, Vladan Nikolic's film Bourek, and was commissioned to write a new score for Buster Keaton's classic silent comedy of 1928, The Cameraman. Theodore and his band then performed the score live to the film screening, in the unforgettable setting of the Temple of Zeus in Athens, which he describes as "one of the best moments of my life." Theodore has gained notoriety for his memorable live performances, dazzling audiences with his mesmerizing stage presence.

Fusing classical composition with electronic elements to create beautiful, atmospheric and often cinematic songs, his sound is characterized by contrasting styles. Citing influences such as Sigur Ros, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Doors, Chatzidakis, Vagelis Papathanasiou, Nils Frahm, The National, Olafur Arnalds, Arcade Fire, Max Richter, his unique mélange of influences allow a broad scope of movement, from ethereal classical movements to driving, melancholic post-rock sections.

Theodore's 'Spit Blood Out (Single Version)' is a triumphant, atmospheric swirl of emotions; tight percussion, soaring vocals, celestial synthesizers and intoxicating basslines all float amidst solar rays of shimmered guitar tones. Sorrowed piano's twinkle and glimmer like distant stars, circling back through cascading decadence before erupting brighter than the heavens themselves.

On the latest single, Theodore comments, "A final struggle to gather all your strength and prepare for the ultimate inner battle. A voice in your head that screams for solution", encapsulating on the struggles we all succumb to whilst facing inner demons. A reminder that all is not lost, and hope can prevail.
