Michael Andritsopoulos is a Greek composer. He was born in 1981. He completed is studies in classical theory and harmony, counterpoint and fugue, and continues with contemporary composition techniques and electro acoustic music. He reached an advanced level in classical guitar and piano, and he earned the sufficiency in electric guitar (100/100 in grade 8) as well as in classical and popular music theory, from London College of Music at Thames Valley University. His compositions have framed a number of documentaries as well as several theatrical representations by various theater companies, while he works on the new album of his folk rock band, as a songwriter. A lot of his instrumental pieces have been rewarded in international competitions, and some of his painting and literary attempts have been distinguished as well. His work, from the viewpoint of orchestral thought, is dominated by a post-impressionistic element, woven with innovatory approaches, and is also characterized by a mystic-metaphysical tendency. Today he is a theory of music and guitar professor, and the writer of an electric guitar learning method.
