Charles Sepos is an artist who creates music to move his listeners to new realms. The hallmarks of his music are uncommon melody, unique tonality, rhythmic vitality, and coloristic richness, underpinned by substantial architecture that continues the boundary-challenging tradition from Ockeghem, Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Debussy, Ravel, Bartok and Stravinsky. Vigorous creativity, rigorous exploration, mastery of styles, contrapuntal invention, impeccable craftsmanship, and unfailing sense of proportion mingle to create a unique and powerful compositional voice, a voice dedicated to transformation of the spirit and raising of human consciousness.
