Press Release<\/strong>
\nGreek multi-instrumentalist Theodore is set to release his beguiling album It Is But It\u2019s Not <\/em>on June 17, he also releases a single of the same name on that date.\u00a0 His debut single \u2018Do You Know How To Fall\u2019 was released in May and met with critical acclaim.<\/span><\/p>\n

At just 23 Theodore is shaping up as one of 2016\u2019s most singular prospects.\u00a0 <\/em>His unique m\u00e9lange of influences, from Pink Floyd and Radiohead to a schooling in piano and traditional Greek folk music, has already taken him from Abbey Road to the Temple of Zeus.<\/span><\/p>\n

It Is But It\u2019s Not <\/em>has Theodore playing piano, guitar, synthesiser and glockenspiel, while his bandmates add rock instrumentation alongside an elegant string section.\u00a0 Written and arranged by Theodore the album was co-produced by Clive Martin (Queen, Reef) and mixed by Ken Thomas (Sigur R\u00f3s, Moby, M83).<\/span><\/p>\n

Theodore has written the music for theatrical pieces such as Matina Megla\u2019s Window,<\/em> Vladan Nikolic\u2019s film Bourek, <\/em>and was commissioned to write a new score for Buster Keaton\u2019s classic silent comedy of 1928, The Cameraman. <\/em>Completing it inside ten days, he 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 \u201cone of the best moments of my life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

More film and other multi-media work beckons, but for now, the priority is It Is But It\u2019s Not, <\/em>an album created over two years in London, then performed live at the fabled Studio 2 at Abbey Road Studios. \u201cMy need is to produce and to share,\u201d says Theodore. \u201cIf I do that well, everything will happen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

“What do get when you wrap up Radiohead and Pink Floyd influences with a 23-year-old multi-instrumentalist from Greece? Theodore, that’s what. The rising star has travelled from the Parthenon to Abbey Road Studios and back again with his music, and you can really hear it in the alt-rock epic that is ‘Do You Know How to Fall?\u2019\u201d<\/em>\u00a0– Digital Spy<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking at a prodigious talent here\u2026\u00a0And it shines through so brightly on this song that\u2019s filled with emotion, atmosphere, drama<\/em>\u201d \u2013 Record Of The Day<\/span><\/p>\n
