Yiorgos Magoulas / classically trained award winning Greek based composer

"...I think that the best way for a film story to be revealed,  is through the dark overtones and the light intonations of a music soundtrack...."
Yiorgos started studying music in his early childhood. His first compositions were written at the age of 12. Since then he followed a course of intensive study of the classical guitar and music theory, which led to the completion of his studies at the National Conservatory of Athens and Morley college of London with a Postgraduate Diploma in classical guitar performance and many diplomas of theoretical studies and composition.
Yiorgos Magoulas has composed original score for several film, documentaries, theatrical pieces, even for TV series, while he has been awarded with the "Gold Ermis Award" for original music in a TV advertisement.
The short film entitled "Counting Happiness" by Venetia Evripiotou where he composed the original soundtrack, screened at over fifty international film festivals, winning awards such as the "GRAND JURY AWARD" at the International Film Festival of Canada 2013.

Listed as a solo performer, Yiorgos plays on stage classical guitar and charango -an stringed plucked instrument miniature of the medieval lute of the Andean region. He also uses soundscapes and video in a cinematic blend of sound and image that combines elements of minimalism and influences from the Greek tradition.

Yiorgos is the founder and the conductor of the Alter Move Orchestra
