Yiorgos Bereris presents Sea in Common, a new musical project and album to be released in April 2026. Moving fluidly between jazz and world music, the project blends Greek and Turkish musical influences with improvisation and a strong melodic identity.
Sea in Common draws inspiration from shared, organic soundscapes: the sounds of nature, festive gatherings, city noise, and everyday life. It is equally inspired by encounters between people who do not share a common language, yet find connection through presence, rhythm, and shared emotion. The music reflects a quiet search for meaning — carrying hope without needing to name it.
Following his earlier works Laros and Sigá y Silente, Bereris further establishes a distinctive compositional voice that balances structure and freedom, intimacy and collective energy. His music is marked by lyrical clarity, rhythmic openness, and a deep sensitivity to timbre and space.
