Bruno Elevteros: “I have been involved in music for most of my life, from my childhood in Africa till the present day (I now live in Brussels and Patmos, Greece) playing piano, keyboards, flute and a cornucopia of instruments from all over the world.Since the mid-60s I have been composing and recording music; playing in rock and prog-rock bands touring Europe and the UK, as well as in jazz combos; taking part in theatre shows and improvisation groups; recording songs with my children; creating soundscapes and music for exhibitions and advertising agencies and producing other musicians.At the end of the 70s I started getting involved in the recording of my music and setting up a home, and later, a project studio. Since then I have composed and recorded hundreds of pieces covering a wide stylistic palette ranging from simple melodic songs to complex experimental compos.In the early 90s I started to collaborate with Diane Sutherland who has been a great inspiration and a constant driving force behind my musical quest. It is also around that time that I first set foot on the beautiful island of Patmos in the Dodecanese. I simply fell in love with the place which has since become a “home†and a wonderful source of inspiration where I finally started to put down roots and where Diane and I spend as much creative time as possible. “ Diane Sutherland: “Music has always been one of the most important forces in my life and I have been singing for as long as I can remember. In the various countries I have lived in I have taken part in many choirs, vocal ensembles, theatre and operetta companies, whether as a chorus member or as a soloist.

My contribution has included improvising some of the melodies and texts that I sing, writing song lyrics and other texts, designing and painting our CD covers and painting and drawing illustrations to accompany the different musical projects, as well as being the primordial listener of Bruno’s compositions.While I have always loved the visual arts, it is only in recent years that I have been able to devote time and energy to trying my hand at being a practitioner as well as an observer. Some of the results can be seen in the Picture Gallery. See plastic arts biography for more details. “
