Inspiration from Nature & The Greek Landscape
The "breath" of the TreePines sound is rooted in Makis' intense relationship with nature and adventure. An experienced mountaineer and climber, he has performed numerous ascents on Mount Olympus, Vardousia, and the Lefka Ori (White Mountains) of Crete, as well as technical routes in the Alps. This love for exploration and the serenity of the peaks is the core inspiration behind the atmospheric identity and cinematic soul of TreePines.
