About Me

================================================

learning relearning reinventing
Not only is Andreas Kapsalis quickly building his reputation as the most important torch bearer in the tradition of the one-man guitar army since Michael Hedges left his legacy with the music world, he's also raising the bar for the 21st century film score; a composer who uses his idiosyncratic style to create an impressionable perspective on the silver screen...

Press Reviews
BMI
"Andreas Kapsalis is a real-deal artist with a deep soul and a totally original voice. He has always taken my breath away with his unique and evolutionary style of guitar playing but, now that he's found a forum of expression as a film composer, he has crossed into a new realm with an expanded pallet thats truly awe inspiring."
- Doreen Ringer-Ross (VP of Film and Television Relations)
Speak-It Productions
"For Black Gold, Andreas created the perfected marriage between music and picture. It was always our intention for the music to reflect the juxtaposition and inter-connectedness of the two worlds the film moves between, and Andreas realized this ambition with passion and perfection. By fusing African sounds and rhythms into a distinctly caffeinated score, he produced a cinematic experience which speaks to a global audience."
- Nick and Marc Francis (produced and directed Sundance documentary film Black Gold)
"Blue Rondo A la Turk"
(AK Trio version)
"I am very impressed that Andreas could cover on guitar what I had written for piano. It is quite amazing to hear my own music performed by great instrumentalists."
- Dave Brubeck (legendary jazz pianist and composer) ================================================
