Welcome to the world of John Psathas

Ioannis (John) Psathas is a New Zealand–Greek composer with a history of large-scale collaborative projects (such as writing for the ceremonies of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games, and collaborating with iconic artists such as Salman Rushdie, Michael Brecker, Joshua Redman, Serj Tankian, Oum, and many others).

In the last decade, the nature of his work has shifted into a space of urgent social commentary, combining a range of live performance formats and technologies.

Having collaborated in electronica, pop, classical, jazz, and multi-ethnic projects, he is now weaving these strands into new work that integrates virtuosic live performance with video, text, and cinematic soundscapes.
