Matthew Dakoutros is a violinist and composer from Greece whose work explores the space between contemporary classical music, experimental sound and post-rock textures.
His music grows out of small gestures and repetition, focusing on texture and atmosphere rather than virtuosity. He works across different contexts (solo pieces, ensemble projects and music for film) as a single practice.
