Butterfly dream Man dream Butterfly Variations Butterfly dream Man dream Butterfly Variations
10 guitar variations inspired by the mythical being of the Butterfly. Its ability to metamorphose from worm into winged being, and continuous striving for the light have always inspired us since ancient times.
Byron Zeliotis the guitarist first started learning classical and electric guitar in Athens when he was twelve years old.
My first teacher was Mr. Nicolaidis an amateur mandolin, guitar player and a lover of music and the performing arts. Although he was an old man at the time and he had very little technique to speak of he did teach me the rudiments of music and more importantly transmit to me his love for music and his sense of discipline for practicing regularly. I still remember him with affection and regard him as my first and maybe last teacher!
A few years later I moved to Scotland and there I studied the guitar formally and passed the necessary grade examinations.
Self taught I have learnt by working my way through all the classical guitar repertoire and trusting my own sense of musicality. At regular intervals I have also studied privately with some of the best guitarists of our generation and classical world today; Guitarists such as Carlos Bonnel, Timothy Walker, Jonathan Leathwood, Sarn Dyer, Xuefei Yang and others.
I received my BA hons and B.ED music from the University of East Anglia and have taught music in Schools for ten years and guitar for the Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire music services.
As a performer I have given numerous solo classical guitar recitals and have also performed with orchestras. As composer I have written and performed works for the guitar, choir, voice and ensembles.
I now reside in Athens Greece where I teach guitar privately and also accept bookings as guitarist performer.Have you performed in front of an audience?I love performing live. Indeed I feel that nothing beats LIVE music. Each performance is unique and unrepeatable.
Although I am a classical guitarist I also love improvising and playing other music styles -particularly folk and blues- with other musicians.
Your musical influences
I like good music from all styles. My guitar influences are Julian Bream, John Williams, Steve Howe, Pierre Bensuzan, Isaac Guillory, Eric Clapton and Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan and many others. The list is almost endless.What equipment do you use?
One of my favourite classical guitars that I play is a 'Portentosa Grande' by the German maker Dieter Hopf. It has character and a very clear sound.
