Metaxas & SINS

since 1981

BE THERE

I love to get lost in music and "be there".

The first 20 years of my commercial life, in a very monastic way, I dedicated myself to this - to be able to capture the essence and spirit of a great musical ensemble's playing and truly allow you to "be there" .

This new collection reflects 35 years of my passion to create extraordinary objects that push through the electronic boundaries so you can "be there".

Years of painstaking selection of every single component.
Limited edition, signed, bespoke hand-made production from start to finish by me, the artist/designer and my two sons[sins].
Future-proof Hi End Audio "sculpture". Collectible Modern Art.
Over 300 "in-house" Master Tape concert recordings are my ABSOLUTE REFERENCE. Here are some free downloads and videos for you to discover. [RECORDINGS]
