Known in the indie rock scene as the "violin" of Closer and to the more electronic crowd from the appearrance in the Synch Festival 2009, Tasman was chosen by the Pet Shop Boys, among many other artists as a support group that will accompany their concerts in Athens and Thessaloniki!
Tasman (Tasos Papastamou) was born in 1974 in Athens, raised by a
musical family. He studied the violin and at the age of 19 he became a
member of the ERT National Symphony Orchestra until 2003.
His musical influences, however, are not only classical; in 1994 he began exploring the sounds of the electric violin and soon he became a member of “Closer”. Their long-term collaboration leaded to several albums and live performances, including a tour in England and appearances in Synch and Rockwave festivals, next to major names of the Greek and international alternative music scene. Their collaboration lasted until 2007.
Alongside he collaborated with many Greek artists and toured the world, participating in key festivals, such as the International Jazz Festival of Montreal with Kristie Stasinopoulou.
In 2007 he began his solo course. He composed the music to Chloe
Mantzari’s short film “The Wall” and later collaborated with Sofia
Spyratou’s dance theatre “Roes”, undertaking the music production in
her shows.
In parallel, he recorded his first personal album titled “Solace”, which is released in June 2009 by Undo Records. In “Solace”, Tasman’s violins and mandolins are escorted by breakbeats and distorted loops, Sofia Papazoglou sings in dub soundcolors and Alkinoos Ioannidis dresses with his voice the most "hardcore" track of the album.
The synthetic capacity of Tasman is a innate mix of emotional sensitivity and trained technical knowledge. The album has strong songs that can be favorites, unlike what happens in the wider 'accompanying' musical world of electronic music. In parallel, he recorded his first personal album titled “Solace”, which is released in June 2009 by Undo Records. In “Solace”, Tasman’s violins and mandolins are escorted by breakbeats and distorted loops, Sofia Papazoglou sings in dub soundcolors and Alkinoos Ioannidis dresses with his voice the most "hardcore" track of the album.
