Findyoursounds - Avant-garde composer Yorgos Dousos unveils dramatic single “LUPUS”

Yorgos Dousos is delighted to announce the release of his single LUPUS. The song is the title track from Yorgos’ forthcoming album and is the perfect example of his avant-garde approach, melding elements of traditional Greek music, jazz and ambient electronic beats.

Yorgos Dousos is a Greek Multi-instrumentalist and composer based in Athens, Greece. Working in and creating music for many years, Dousos is a founding member of several projects, including prog-folk group Darnakes and the Balkan jazz band Local Heroes.

Despite initially cultivating a background in classical flute and Greek folk clarinet, his immersion in a wide range of disciplines and genres inspired Dousos to create a sound straddling the line between classical and experimental.

Having launched his solo work through the release of the debut album Serres in 2021, Dousos continues to explore introspective and expressive soundscapes on his latest cut, LUPUS (Love Under Pain Upon Suffering). LUPUS encapsulates the sonic exploration Dousos has embarked upon over the years; a journey that has led to the creation of his most powerful work yet.

Blending avant soundscapes with traditional Greek music and incorporating elements of jazz and ambient electronica, LUPUS is a dramatic, reflective piece of art. The album weaves haunting melodies, evocative textures, deep bass layers, and intricate electronic loops into a cohesive sonic journey. With the addition of the drumming of Sotiris Mavronasios, Dousos’ distinctive approach finds the artist expertly utilising organic flute and clarinet sounds, and combining them with effects pedals, to create an intensely sophisticated orchestral experience.

Single LUPUS is out now with the album dropping on 29th October.
