Just heard the news. Gobsmacked. Absolutely rest in peace. A genius to no end.

I'm in tears. This guy wrote such beautiful music.

Sim. Herança para humanidade.

Louvado seja Deus. Homem rico de alma.Presente Deus para esta geração. Tenho certeza que deve ter mais destes. Que Deus nos ilumine. ❤🙏🏼🙌💫👁️👁️Com talentos assim.

I'm totally agree. It seems he lived among two worlds. Vangelis for ever 👍

+Glen Ferris aaaaaaaand he makes some improvisation on that setup.... if this isnt talent... idk what is....

Midi setups? Are you sure its midi and not synth here?

@@innosanto MIDI is How synths communicatie

He is the master . Just to use 3 modules and some sounds is enough to remember but all thise volume pedals ...?

@@emesde And sometimes by CV Gate too (Control Voltage), depending on the age of the Synth!

Absolutely!!!!

You are wrong. ))) They are just magicians. "Scientist" is only a part of that allmighty people features - only some "trace" from that "magi" kind of people.

Matrix - you are wrong. Magic is just science we don't understand

I'll add channel name "LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER" in that list though

son of Zeus haha

I agree. A man who has passion for work, while most tend to only have passion for money.

@@dvamateur yes,that is true!!

I guess Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the password. I love any help you can offer me.

@Lewis Benson Instablaster :)

akasha clanclan indeed. When i first heard about Vangelis, around 1984, I also thought it was impossible for a single man, without knowledge of music notation, to actually compose. Our Man is ingenious, he can imagine sounds, instruments, he can play entire pieces by himself and still feel symphonic-like.

Really incredible if this was all played live by one man, without pre-mixing. The sounds, the frequency spectrum and the timing seem all perfect.

Vsngelis always said he likes to play, not "program", or "produce", or "write". So many proud terms that Vangelis doesn't use. He likes to play. And music is a performance art. But since we consider DJ's musicians these days, we've fallen too low culturally to appreciate the performance itself. Most musicians prize themselves sayng "I wrote", "I produced", "I programmed". Rarely anyone works on techniques and performance these days. Vangelis had very good technique, and excellent performance skills. Although to play comfortably in such setup, took years of not decades. Just like it takes years or decades to play organ pedals. Vangleli is not a follower though, he's a leader. That's what originality is about. He is himself. He just doesn't follow trends.

@@dvamateur What is wrong whit saying "I wrote"? Practically all the body of orchestral music (the music he is imitating here) is written down, because it has to, because large heterogeneous ensembles can only function this way. Do you think that is possible replicate, let's say, a symphonic poem by Strauss or a symphony by Mahler only having one person? The Orchestra still is an incomparable medium, one that you only can exploit it's full potential if you know how to write for it. Composers have been writting down their music for centuries and there's nothing wrong with that.

@@wilhelmorangenbaum163 i'd say after watching this video, yes, it is possible, because that's exactly what he does in this video. He plays an entire orchestra, and he is indeed 'just' one man.

Do you know the model?

His evil twin 😂

@sherriff woody I found out the day he died. Really sad as my dad said who is he? I said the Mozart of digital music. His music will live on. Thanks for the reply Sherriff Woody and did you ever get that snake out of your boots?

mik300z there is a video like that you described. Look for "Vangelis in the Studio Clip 1" is just AWESOME, check it out!!!

MrLizardisle That must have been awesome to see

MrLizardisle Hahaha didn´t know that about an organ.

mik300z I totally agree with you ! Same fellings here !!

LUIS SORIANO ... it's about Yamaha though ... and really getting the Ribbon back and full access. Arturia has done well, add the Reverb and Ozone ... and it's very deliverable. This system is confusing. ... I don't know how the percussion lines up ... I think he uses the foot pedal to turn the volume up and it appears to be a switch ... and that's a skill

Where can we find this documentary

@@ateo7846 the name of the documentary is Vangelis and the Journey to Ithaca. It’s listed on Amazon but it’s not currently available.

@@ateo7846 another great one is a fremch show of 1492 and he has skmilar setup to this there as well mostly I think.

Συμφωνώ!

I agree!

He is Aphrodite's Child...

SOn of Apollo makes more sense, as Apollo is the god of Music

I agree.

How well did your mission to improve your workflow go? It’s been 9 years, so I’m sure you got everything situated by now.

Thank you for asking. I would say I did, and even added to it since, but the past few years had some challenges which required me to break everything down and consider a move. Due to that - and the fact that I work a full time job, and have other domestic responsibilities, etc., it’s been a slow process of putting it back together. I look forward to posting videos of myself working with it over the course of this next year. Don’t know whether you’ve checked out any of the videos on my KZfaq channel, but there is certainly more to come.

which documentary? I want to watch that documentary. By the way, the new Blade Runner unfortunately will not be directed by Ridley Scott, but just produced.

Blade Runner is Ridley&Vangelis. They dance together to make the movie. Unfortunately Ridley will not direct but only produce. I really want Vangelis to be the composer, but still without Ridley I don't know if it is Blade Runner. I don't know the new guy that probably Ridley has chosen, and I guess he will give directions as the producer. But combining Ridley&Vangelis would be a more certain bet.

It has been announced that Vangelis will not be involved in the Blade Runner sequel. The chosen composer is to be Johann Johannsson. Of course Ridley Scott is not producing either. The producer Dennis Villanueve has worked with Johannsson on 3 previous projects. The originals are never duplicated , apparently Johannsson has tremendous respect for Vangelis but I understand the disappointment and why some would steer clear of this project. Who knows? I have always believed it is foolish to criticize that which you have not yet heard or observed.

The composer ended up being Hans Zimmer, whose hands are in too many film scores in my opinion, but who always seems to do a very good job, even if his fingerprints are always all over the music. I think he did a good job maintaining a Vangelis vibe -- at least as it might sound thrown into the future. There were a couple really beautiful references to the original score.

Sadly he didn’t and it was poorer for it.

HE actually IS!

Bravo! - AmbieticA -

Same here.
