While Dimitri Terzakis has been living in Germany for almost half a century, he composes in a quite individual style, going back to the roots of his native coutry, Greece. Terzakis delved into the tonal system of ancient Greece and discovered undreamt of possibilities in the formation of melody and tonality beyond major and minor. Miicro-intervals and sliding pitches, as well as the realization of the infest dynamic nuances are important for melodic flexibility that is found in his music.
