About

Hi, I’m Athanasios Karakantas or simply Thanos, a versatile composer, arranger, and tonmeister based in Berlin. My experience spans jazz, classical, and modern popular music, specializing in recording and producing demanding genres (classical, jazz, orchestral and rock). I combine a deep understanding of music theory with modern digital audio workstations and notation software to produce high-quality results, whilst enhancing the performance before the mic. My specialties also include being a multi-instrumentalist with perfect pitch, which means I can also contribute sonically and musically to any project (re-record, replace or add parts).

I’ve worked on a wide range of projects, from solo instruments to 3D audio and from classical music to film and electronic music and I’m looking forward to expanding my experience, vis-a-vis working with you!
