great greek composer. synth master.
(see: blade runner ) the final music is superb.
trivial info: There is a work based on la folia in the 1492 soundtrack of the conquest of paradise .
He learned to play the piano at the age of 4 and made his first compositions, the most prodigy and transcendent music man of all time, who gave his first concert at the age of 5, is also the keyboardist, not the drummer of the Aphrodites child group in the 70s ... he made ingenious albums, among them heaven & hell (1975) , chariots of fire (1981), antarctica (1983), themes (1989), conquest of paradise (1992), oceanic (1997). it has never been a commercial concern, until the piece of conquest of paradise of '92 fell into the mouth of the offspring; because the track that bears the same name as the voices album he released afterwards has been trying to repeat the success of the previous album with the event "mm mmm". His music in general is unique, although thousands of covers were made, none of them could be successfully imitated. I can bet that there are a lot of musicians in the world who are madly jealous of this man. Not only can I bet, but I can also print my mold for an extra.
they have such familiar melodies that even someone who has never heard of vangelis's name gets caught up in the trips of "wow bea this is that too" when they listen to their music, just like the situation I fell into when I bought "themes", a movie soundtrack compilation in 1990 ...
Even if he will not do anything else until the end of his life, the artist deserves endless respect for the magnificent music that brings only the blade runner to life.
I would like you to listen to the memories of green piece once.
It is as if it is so soft, shaped in such a way that water gives shape to stones, when it is likened to itself, as if everything, if the so-called memory is the past events from the elegance of time, it can be understood with such a whole set of resonances. Peaceful, loving, painful all of them are as if they are all collected in $ memories of green and depict us from our ears that we are all human beings, that we feel the same things, that we are overwhelmed by the same persistent emotions even after time passes.
A musician who is successful enough to make you forget where you are and what you are doing while listening to his compositions, which will make you feel almost every emotion about life at that moment.
