Iasos (born 1947), is a Greek-born American new age musician living in the San Francisco Bay AreaofCalifornia. He is one of the earliest creators of the "new age" genre. His company, Inter-Dimensional Music, is based in Sausalito, California. A testimony of people who have had Near-death experiences refered his Angelic Music album as being closest to the music heard in these experiences.[1] The Buddhist philosopher Alan Watts has said "Iasos is doing the classical music of the New Age."[2] Guitarist Lee Underwood has said "Angelic Music...perhaps exemplif(ies) the best this genre has to offer."[3]
He began studying piano at age 8, with formal music education through high school. In 1967, he began to "hear" music [clarification needed], which he referred to as "paradise music." He moved to California in 1968, to work on creating this music. In 1975, he released his first album, Inter-Dimensional Music Through Iasos, the same year his friend and colleague Steven Halpern released his first album, thus being an early pioneer in the "new age music" genre. Iasos has performed and lectured internationally, and his music is distributed worldwide. His music has been used by NASA and the Laserium laser light show.[4]
