Konstantine Margaritis

Konstantine Margaritis ́ guitar playing is subtle and lyrical, surrounded by a melancholic tone. His unique ability to become one with the instrument and his natural balance between intimacy and immediacy make the listener forget virtuosity and get lost in the sound. Konstantine's melancholic mood is sweet and nostalgic, imbued with a Mediterranean essence. 

With an unusual compositional capacity, Konstantine creates a rare amalgam of different elements, ranging from the passionate portrayal of early Romanticism to impressionistic statements, imbued with a strong temperament of various Mediterranean rhythms and ornaments.

The Greek guitarist and composer moved to Berlin in 2013, and his debut album "Kimata," a collection of original works and arrangements for solo guitar, was released in 2016, setting the tone for Konstantine's ambitions to fuse the contemporary and the traditional. Two years later, his music for trio "Siren Songs" appears under the name Elusive Aura as an amalgamation of his inherent interest in ancient Greek philosophy and manifests his fascination with complex harmonies, strange rhythms and sounds from the Mediterranean. 2019 will see the creation of "Ithaki", a concept album of original compositions for classical guitar with a general thematic substance: the personal journey of self-exploration and self-realisation that we are called to undertake in the adventures, hopes and fears of our lives.
