athos
athos is the project of brothers, Anthony & Demetri Kastellani. With a background in Classical music, their common education of Greek Cypriot folklore and soundtrack music has informed much of their recent work. Within the frame of 'slow music' their sound exists as a form of devotional yearning, resounding in a harmony of bond and blood.
athos are releasing their debut album 'To Know Where It's Going' this Spring. Listen to their first single from the album, 'Well', and follow them here:

David Ridley
David is a multi-disciplinary composer and musical director based in Nunhead. He creates music for a wide range of projects, including creating scores for film/TV projects alongside his long-term writing partner Aaron May.
​
Be Like Water is David's debut solo album and is inspired by water, meditating on its role in transferring energy around the world, its multi-faceted beauty, and its increasing volatility.
Each piece is a snapshot of the element at a point in the cycle, trying to capture its character at a given moment, be it streaming, lapping, evaporating or falling. It is intended as music to encourage a feeling of wonder at the natural world, and of our small and precarious place within it.
