Yerasimos Dimovasilis has been involved with music from an early age, studying and performing on a wide range of instruments (flute, harp, guitar, percussion, and synthesizer etc) and from his teenage years he participated in recording projects while actively exploring diverse musical idioms.
In 2002, he began studying the Japanese bamboo flute shakuhachi and soon specialized in the traditional honkyoku repertoire. His studies included instruction with teachers such as Kiku Day, Tony Clark, Kaoru Kakizakai and Seiun Saruta, among others. Since 2011 he has focused exclusively on the Kinko-ryu tradition and has continued his studies under Gunnar Jinmei Linder, expanding his repertoire in both honkyoku and jiuta sokyoku works. He currently holds the jun shihan diploma of the Chikumeisha school, founded by National Living Treasure Yamaguchi Goro, and teaches shakuhachi in Greece.
Since 2010, he has introduced the shakuhachi to Greek audiences through numerous concerts and educational activities in Athens, Thessaloniki, Larissa, Horto, Lefkada, and other locations. Through workshops and lectures, he presents historical and organological aspects of the instrument, while also offering participants hands-on experience in playing this rare and distinctive flute.
In parallel with his performance and teaching activities, he explores the therapeutic and meditative qualities of the shakuhachi in sound healing and meditation sessions, often in combination with gongs, singing bowls, and other instruments.
Since 2016, he has been a member of the Japanese taiko ensemble Atene Daiko, with which he has performed extensively and composed and arranged works that combine these two traditional Japanese instruments, shakuhachi and taiko.
