Lakewood Musiker*in Eva Atmatzidou

Her music has been characterized unique and cinematic. Fresh ideas, innovative hybrid and extended guitar techniques, imaginative and creative use of effects are compined in her composition within a very personal sound and feeling, exploring various and diverse musical soundscapes.

The modern fingerstyle acoustic guitarist and composer from Greece, Eva Atmatzidou,has been signed with the leading American record label Candyrat Records withher debut solo acoustic guitar album "TRENOVA" being released on May 2016.

Eva “travels” musically from East to West, from rhythmic and percussive grooves tosensitive e-bow melodic lines, from pure acoustic sound to a more “effected” guitar sound, all in a way that makes it hard to believe that what you hear is played by a single guitar (no loops or overdubbing).

»The music is very cinematic and colorful. The melodies are thematic and singable,yet not predictable. The music has ethnic influences from Greece yet also fromother cultures including American blues influences. [...] You will also hear counterpoint, complex rhythms and the use of the e-bow while play bass lines at the same time!

This is special music from a special musician.« – Fingerstyle Guitar Journal (Issue 7)

Evaperforms her compositions in recordings, concerts and festivals, playing eitherwith a D-32 or a M-31 CP Lakewood guitar.
