One month ago was made the announcement that the world has lost a genius. #Vangelis created music of extraordinary originality and power, and provided the soundtrack to so many of our lives. His music will live on forever. #ΒαγγέληςΠαπαθανασίου Πριν από ένα μήνα έγινε η ανακοίνωση ότι ο κόσμος έχασε μια ιδιοφυΐα. Ο #Βαγγέλης δημιούργησε μουσική εξαιρετικής πρωτοτυπίας και δύναμης και έδωσε το soundtrack σε τόσους πολλούς από τη ζωή μας. Η μουσική του θα συνεχιστεί για πάντα.

The World Grieves - part 2 We've assembled a second selection of friends, artists, celebrities, institutions and politicians paying their respects to Vangelis. For part 1, see here On The Occasion Of The Passing Of Vangelis It is with a heavy heart that I have come to learn about the passing of #Vangelis, a dear friend that I had known for over 25 years. He was a highly gifted musician, a great Greek film composer and Oscar winner, and a kind, brilliant and exceptional human being in every way. His name will be etched amongst the giant musicians in history. Link to posted video H.M Shahbanou Farah Pahlavi We have lost #Vangelis. but his music and his memory will remain forever. I was privileged to discover the person behind the public persona. He loved space and was in love with ESA. He composed a great symphony to ESA's Rosetta mission youtube.com/WSa3k... R.I.P. Maestro Fernando Doblas Former ESA Head of Communication He was a man of great integrity, and it was an honor for me to call him my friend. He was also the most generous man I ever knew, and I'm not just talking about material things. I loved him very much, and look forward to seeing him in the next life. (Direct contribution) Cherry Vanilla Voice on "See You Later, ran Vangelis' US office Very sad to hear of Vangelis’s passing. We had not worked together for many years, but between 1975 and 1992 I worked with him closely on many projects, especially writing arrangements, mainly choral, […] from Heaven and Hell right through to 1492: Conquest of Paradise; and I also sang solo tracks and conducted for very many recordings, films and for concerts ranging from the Royal Albert Hall to Docklands in Rotterdam to Athens in the Olympic Stadium and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus on the Acropolis. He even said, in some early creative sessions, “we are brothers!”, and I helped him through one major personal crisis. So despite our separation for, bizarrely, 30 years now, I still feel very close to him and hugely regret we did not meet again. But I have been involved in his music many times since, and hope that will continue. Here’s a photo of me with him at the first concert we did together: Heaven And Hell in the Royal Albert Hall in February 1976. I am conducting and look really transported by the music (which I was). And a special t-shirt for the concert - still here somewhere! (submitted by e-mail) Guy Protheroe Vangelis' collaborator for 17 years, conductor of the English Chamber Choir The giant wild beast has gone to bed. Greetings to you my friend. Thank You, Great Soul, to have illuminated our lives on Gaia, to have enriched our Dreams, our Spirits, our Souls... to have made our Hearts, our instruments, sing, to have inspired so many destinies, To have passed among us. Goodbye, Vangelis. Good Road in the AfterLife, Free and Eternal, With all those who welcome you with Love... ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ (poem by Hugo De Monfort - translated) Jean-Philippe Rykiel French composer, arranger, keyboard player Nature endowed you with a gift that made millions of people around the world happy and shudder with your music. I had the good fortune to meet you and offer my voice to your amazing music! I hold these precious memories that we shared together and I wish your soul to rest in peace in the place that gave birth to the sound of your love. #vangelis Vana Verouti Greek singer, author My Godfather passed away yesterday, my father knew him as a brother. Vangelis was a giant in the realms of music and I will never forget sitting in his studio as a child as he composed the original score for the feature film, Blade Runner. Love and only love for a man that left behind some of the most powerful music that pathed the way for others. ♥️ Deborah Anderson Film maker, daughter of Jon Anderson Vangelis my beloved Vangelis Papathanassiou, you never liked goodbyes *** Link to youtube.com/iHekAs... (translated) Konstantinos Paliatsaras Greek operatic tenor, vocals on "El Greco" album and others Rest in peace Mr. Vangelis Thank you for everything. (translated) Dimitris Tsakas Greek saxophone player on "Remembering" and "BR 25" Great loss of a great composer. Was privileged to be his friend while posted in Greece and later. RIP dear friend and condolences to his family. Epic music befitting an epic journey. Thank you to legendary composer Vangelis for providing the score to so many of the #JunoMission's discoveries at Jupiter. Bhaskar Balakrishnan Indian science diplomacy fellow, voice on "No Expectation Boulevard" and this without words my only FRIEND. I'm coming soon too. Do not get lost, OK? (translated) Vassilis Bakopoulos member of "The Forminx" I know he’s a strong fighter and what is important is he fought hard. The only thing that gives me strength is his love and memories. His words of “forever” may not be possible anymore but his love and help for my family will be imprinted in my mind and heart. I will miss him so much. I will miss how he tells me how beautiful I am every morning. I love you so much Mr. Vangelis❤️ You are at a better place now. I love and miss you so much❤️ Paulette Suayan Valle Tacod Vangelis' personal assistant As a big fan of Vangelis, I took his music with me to space. His studio looked like the cockpit of a genuine spaceship in which he composed music themes for movies, concerts and space exploration missions such as the Rosetta mission. On behalf of ESA, I awarded him with his astronaut badge. The Maestro will forever remain in our hearts both on Earth and in space Jean-François Clervoy French engineer and ESA astronaut Vangelis was a giant in the music world and I was devastated to learn he had died last week. I became friends with him three years ago when a mutual friend from London introduced us. He invited me to his home in Paris where I met some of his family. I spent two delightful afternoons and evenings at his spacious apartment where he played me some of his recent videos and I witnessed him working with his engineer on his album “Juno to Jupiter”. He listened with pleasure to my forthcoming instrumental album, knowing that my producer, Peter, and I had been inspired by Vangelis and I had dedicated “Anthema” to him. His assistant cooked us a feast each evening and then was sent out to pick up a box full of rich desserts from a local cafe….yumm! He gifted me one of his sketches and later mailed me his lovely piano album album “Nocturne”. I feel so honoured to have known this creative genius and to have spent that time with him. Liona Boyd Classical guitarist, AKA First Lady of the Guitar 2014 with Vangelis in his favourite studio in Paris (working on the track Europa we had written years before) I’d worked on it extensively at Club Ralph with @markralphmusic and just wanted it to be touched by his genius . Set free in the Universe now Maestro . All returned to stardust . #Vangelis #bladerunner #chariotsoffire #china #greek #god Holly Johnson English artist, musician, Frankie Goes to Hollywood Rest In Peace #Vangelis Googoosh / گوگوش Iranian singer and actress A great loss is the death of VANGELIS PAPATHANASSIOU, the GREEK who with his musical genius, honored and will honor Greece worldwide and beyond the borders of planet Earth. A rare photo I publish is from 1964 in Thessaloniki. Bottom row the FORMINX. The band of Vangelis Papathanassiou, he is the first from the left. Top row is the band BRAHMS, the band I started my career with. (translated) Paschalis Arvanitidis member of "The Olympians", "The Brahms" VANGELIS PAPATHANASSIOU DIED The World-renowned Greek I have a hangover. I have lost him and I am sad because he was a friend of mine .... (translated) Nikos Mouratidis Greek broadcaster, journalist and blogger I am very sad that Vangelis passed away, he was super talented and a great man! Jean Luc Ponty French jazz violinist and composer R. I. P. Angel. Have a safe journey Vangelis. (translated) Eleni Karaindrou Greek film composer I am deeply grieved to hear of the passing of my primary musical inspiration and possibly the greatest musical genius of my era. Just knowing Evángelos Odysséas Papathanassíou was in the world in real-time with me was always a comfort- as if i could feel the energy of his brilliance whenever i thought of him. I'm sure he will be dearly missed by so many, as the expanse of his legacy is incalculable. The world is a much more beautiful place through the gifts he bestowed in music, inspiration, vision, passion and sheer courage to explore creative universes in his own unique and exquisite way. Today i stand along side my bloodlines in Greece to mourn the loss of one of our great cultural heros. θα ζήσετε για πάντα στις καρδιές μας και στα πνεύματά μας. (translated: You will live forever in our hearts and in our spirits.) Chris Spheeris Greek-American composer and musician Totally gutted that #Vangelis has died. I knew him when I was 18 and used to visit his London studio. He once kindly showed me how he scored #Bladerunner and played it live for me. He also composed the Chariots of Fire soundtrack. He was a total genius. Jon Dee Broadcaster and founder of Planet Ark A PART OF MY HISTORY PASSES WITH THE DEATH OF VANGELIS Vangelis, the legendary Greek-born electronic composer and musician who was best known for his theme song for Oscar-winning ‘Chariots of Fire’, has died today at the age of 79. For 40 years his music was the soundtrack of my healing as I played albums such as ‘Oceanic’, ‘1492’, ‘Blade Runner’ and many others, both in private sessions and during healing demonstrations. He said: “My interest was not to create a symphony orchestra, which I can very easily, but to go further than that and do things that the symphony orchestra can’t do. And I think I succeeded to create something like this.” I once had the privilege of spending an afternoon with Vangelis at his Nemo Studio in London and we chatted about nature, mythology, reincarnation and music. I’m not often starstruck or tongue-tied but that day I was - until he put me at ease and I forgot that I was talking to a legendary figure. As one of his greatest fans, I once paid £250 for a signed limited edition album he’d recorded. I’ll always treasure that. But, more than anything else, thank you Vangelis for all the beautiful and often spine-tingling music that helped lift my healing to heights I couldn’t have imagined. I’ll be playing it until I fall off the stool on which I perch when healing. Matthew Manning Bestselling British author and healer Thank you Maestro for honoring us with your presence in our studios. #Vangelis - photo: 1986 Forum Studios - album "Page of life" Forum Studios Recording Studio, Italy I had the great honor of working on an album with Vangelis as a programmer in the late 80s at RAK studios London. You can only imagine the nerves I had to deal with when programming synths and samplers for the very guru who wrote the rules in this field. He was a true master to work with, always open to show me the ropes. Sometimes he came across a tad difficult, but it was always due to his commitment to reach perfection !! Thank you for teaching me so much, plus inspiring generations with your epicness man !! You will be missed but your music will undoubtedly move people deeply forever ! ✌♥️ We paid homage to him in a track titled “Vangelism” on our album “Modular Baptism” -REST IN PEACE MAN- -Forever grateful--Dan- Pig&Dan Duo DJ So sorry to hear of one of the greatest composers of our time passed away Vangelis So privileged to have been inspired and worked with such a wonderful soul. In 1988 Vangelis and Jon Anderson worked at my home in LA Hollywood to write the page of life album. Vangelis did a very rare concert at Royce Hall UCLA as a 1 man band, he not only played it but mixed it live from stage in quad which was absolutely stunning! What a truly amazing eternal being! One of the true angels that has touched this earth ❤️ Love to Vangelis and to Jon x David Tickle British record producer and engineer I had the privilege to work with him on a very short project, back in the 90’s. Was at his home studio in Athens. Humble and respectful, he was like a child wanted to learn everything. From that day on, I always remember his hands. I cannot explain it, but my feeling was that his hands where playing music also when they where not on the keyboards. RIP #Vangelis. You will always be an artistic magnitude ❤️ Takis Tsonopoulos Manager at Harman Professional Solutions There is one name that says it all ... Vangelis 1943 - 2022 The precursor of electronic music, a genius composer of music for films and not only. A quiet, modest man. His music for the movie Chariots of Fire was a breakthrough. You loved the cosmos, you reached it. You will live forever. Zbigniew Preisner Polish film composer, member of the French Film Academy You moved me to tears on every note and in every moment you were present. Even in this very moment as I sit here writing this. You changed my life. You influenced every note I myself have created and put out into the universe. Man, you were so damn prolific. You were immortal to me and I sit here in absolute disbelief that you are gone. Your legacy will live on forever. RIP Vangelis. Beautiful musical soul. Thank you for living... Nicholas Gunn US-based English songwriter and music producer Wow, that a loss. The word 'pioneer' is too often used but it’s appropriate in this case because when you shift expectations about what is possible and create multiple works which can be the epitome of both craft and - dare I say it, art - in the way that #Vangelis did it’s sometimes difficult to understand just how influential and significant those works are when they are so often referred to as some of the best, but they really are. Thank you for the music & thank you, most of all, for your creative mind #VangelisRIP Segun Akinola English composer for television and documentaries I’m devastated to learn that Vangelis has just departed this world after battling Covid. I first became acquainted with his music in the Carl Sagan production, “Cosmos”. Then came Chariots of Fire and Bladerunner, still one of my favorite films largely because of his presence. Thus began my love affair. I own all of his albums and soundtracks, which are numerous. I remember when the internet came into being, he was one of my first “searches” and I was printing out pages of information dedicated to him with the fear that someone might decide the internet was a bad idea and it would shut down. His music has been an immeasurable inspiration to me and has certainly influenced my own creative efforts with my Blue Landscapes music and elsewhere. His music has largely been a soundtrack to my life and it has made my life’s experience all the more beautiful and full of marvel and wonder. His music emphasized beauty in its simplicity, and yet his sense of orchestration was masterful and spontaneous in its creation. Though he didn’t read music, and though I was tickled that 90% of his spontaneous compositions gravitated towards a tonal center of C# or Db, I truly feel he was a genius. What a gift and musical giant he was to me and millions of others. Requiesce in pace, Maestro, and thank you for your beautiful and timeless music. #vangelis #musicalhero #visionary Robert Thies American concert pianist How is it possible that Vangelis never won a Grammy?! I wish I could give him mine-- feeling sad and undeserving today. I hope you are resting peacefuly, in a land as rich as the ones you created with sound. #Vangelis Vivek J. Tiwary Grammy Award winner, American author and theater producer I’m so sorry to hear that Vangelis has passed away. He was a legend, & a huge influence on so many composers. I listened to 1492: Conquest of Paradise so many times when I was growing up, & I love the iconic scores for Chariots of Fire & Blade Runner. Thank you, #Vangelis. #RIP Emir Isilay Turkish film composer Vangelis (1943-2022) As with so many other electronic music musicians, synthesizer fans and film music composers, I too was strongly influenced by Vangelis' outstanding film music and instrumental music. his influence in these areas of music is just immense. I first noticed the name Vangelis with his project "Jon & Vangelis" and his early work with his band "Aphrodite's Child". these chapters are also bursting with his impressive creativity, his love of detail and his surprising soundscapes. at the same time a magician in the studio and a composer with a passion for „playing“ music. thank you for the great music and the numerous hours with the headphones on my head, with my thoughts deep in the worlds and soundscapes of Vangelis. Σας ευχαριστώ! Heiko Maile German musician and composer, member of Camouflage Absolutely devastated to learn of Vangelis’ passing today. I’ve taken so much inspiration from his work and even just mere days ago, I was deep diving into his writing and programming process yet again to find out more (as I do a couple of times a year). The man was pretty much a self taught musician who was able to convey musically, across a huge spectrum of styles and genres, feelings that many struggle to express: exhilaration, pain, passion, wonderment, trepidation, hope and so much more. A composer and sound designer who pushed boundaries and made machines sing. This is a loss I will feel deeply for a long time to come. Vale Vangelis ❤️ Jamie Stevens Electronic dance music Thank you Vangelis for your inspirational music, the soundtrack to my youth that introduced me to my obsession with synthesisers/ electronic music that in return gifted me my own career. Though I didn’t know him personally, I feel like I’ve lost an old friend. RIP John 00 Fleming English trance producer and DJ RIP Vangelis. A pioneer with a unique sound and style, with his iconic film scores, and his collaborations with Jon Anderson. Mike Lindup keyboardist and singer, founder member of "Level 42" So very hard to take on that #Vangelis has passed on. One of my very favourite composers for so many years. #BladeRunner #ChariotsOfFire #1492 the list is endless. Thank you so much for the power and humanity of your music #VangelisRIP Peter Irving London-based actor rest in peace to a pioneer (and personal musical hero) Vangelis. thank you el-p American rapper, songwriter and producer words can't describe how influential Vangelis's music has been in my life and especially on "Yasuke". Yall know this one cuts deep. RIP to the legend! FLYLO American rapper and DJ #vangelis has returned to source. His legacy will continue to inspire us - a true legend and one of my favourite composers of all time ♥️ Kirsty Hawkshaw English electronic music vocalist and songwriter Evángelos Odysséas Papathanassíou The reason I came to be... #vangelis #rip G.Pal New York-based Greek composer and sound designer The score for Blade Runner is my favorite score of all time. The deeply meditative and magical score by #Vangelis came from somewhere beyond my comprehension. It was just insanely good. Thank you for all the wonderful music, have fun in the cosmos. Jesper Kyd Danish composer and sound designer Such an influential composer - his score for Blade Runner was such a huge influence on us. Freaking genius. #vangelis Hybrid British electronic music duo While Carl Sagan was one of the most influential people in my life, Vangelis provided his soundtrack and so many others. Hopefully their energies can reunite in the next dimension. ✨ Cheers to a legend who will be missed. Von Hertzog American synthpop artist and producer Remembering the late, great VANGELIS. So very sad to hear the news but what an amazing legacy he left us. These are my 2 favourites of his, Opera Sauvage & China, my go to albums when I need to relax and disappear into beautiful, nostalgic soundscapes, but so many more other gems in his back catalogue. What are your favourites? Minute Taker English recording artist RIP maestro Vangelis. Thank you for the music. It’s simply impossible to convey the vast influence that this man's work has had on us. Gunship would not exist without his inspiration. Travel safe to the shoulder of Orion. We hope the C-Beams glitter in the dark. #RIPVangelis GUNSHIP British synthwave band May he rest in peace, he was my hero and a massive influence, celebrate his outstanding music and hear his spirit continue within the sounds, the intricate textures and beautiful melodies. The Rosen Corporation Hamburg-based electronic music composer and artist I first discovered Vangelis' music, like many I'm sure, as a teenager seeing Blade Runner for the first time. There aren't all that many composers that successfully paint the world we see on screen with music in such a perfect way as Vangelis did with Blade Runner. His direct and improvisational method of translating what he sees and feels instinctively to the keyboard is genius. A rare talent that allowed him to imbue his music with his emotions derived from the visuals, in real time as he experienced them. This would elevate scenes to a level, with atmosphere and emotion that we don't experience very often in movies, and an impression that for many of us lasted a lifetime. I was forever a fan of Vangelis since those days. His love of improvisation, the fact that he never learned how to read/write music and that he was quite reclusive were all things I could relate to, gain encouragement from, and thanks to him, understand the importance of emotion in music. He'll be forever missed. Thank you for the music and inspiration. State Azure UK electronic music producer Rest in peace, Vangelis. He was a pioneer, a visionary, a true artist, and one of my biggest inspirations. #vangelis Vogel Electronic dance music RIP #Vangelis I remember watching this when I was 14 in a nearly empty ABC cinema in Belfast I had never seen or heard anything like it... the music complimented the visuals perfectly The next day I went back and watched it all again... Link to posted video Adrian McKinty Northern Irish novel writer The greatest thing any film composer can do is write music that is indelibly associated with images, that could only be for the film it was written for. Vangelis did this many times over. Vale. Dan Golding Australian writer, composer and broadcaster Another master is gone. Goodbye Vangelis… Your music will forever be with us. ❤️ #rip #legend #vangelis George Perris Greek-French singer and songwriter Just learned of the passing of ‘Vangelis’ who created my favorite film score of all time to ‘Bladerunner’. His creative genius of combining acoustic piano, other organic instruments and synthesizers cannot be overstated. Thank you, sir, for blessing this world with your beautiful imagination. Dan Reed American musician and artist The theme from “Chariots of Fire” propels me back to my early adolescent years. What a film score!! It also became one of my favorite movies of all time. Here’s a little tribute to Vangelis. I wish I’d met him! RIP.. Gabriela Montero Venezuelan pianist and composer Thank you for inspiring me to be an electronic musician You are a Legend Vangelis, the impact you had on modern music can’t be measured RIP ❤️❤️ Valentina Moretti Mexican singer, songwriter and musician R.I.P. to one of the greatest to ever do it~ #Vangelis 정재윤 / Jae Chong KPop, CPop and JPop composer and producer Another great composer gone too soon. The synthesizers and electronic music community has lost one of his pioneer. His score for Blade Runner was my favorite. Dani Donadi Italian composer and music producer Me & many others in drum-and-bass have been inspired by this absolute genius. When I hit a creative wall I listen to his music. A Next Level Genius. R.I.E.P VANGELIS ❤️ #RIPVANGELIS FUTUREBOUND VIPER one half of Matrix & Futurebound Vangelis passed away. His work, particularly the soundtrack to Chariots of Fire, influenced my passion as a young teenager to just sit down at that upright piano and try to work life out. Paul Cardall American pianist and composer I’m late on Vangelis passing, but still wanted to pay my respects this super talented musician. He made some wonderful tunes both in acoustic and electronic styles. This is one of my faves from his early period. Safe onward journey and I reckon I know what song was playing as he went through the pearly gates. R.I.P Dave Lee ZR Disco and house music Dave Lee Agh! Vangelis has left this world to live on another . RIP master of sound and dreams ,Blade Runner would never have been Blade Runner without your beautiful music Thankyou so much Luke Slater English electronic musician and DJ In memory of Vangelis, He wrote this beautiful anthem called "Rachel's Song". Just like the 'Nasty Boyz' I did my version of this track and named it 'Angel'. Armin played this two years ago at ASOT 950. Vangelis passed away may 17th Richard Durand Dutch DJ and record producer Most of the people of my generation grew up listening to his music. Vangelis was an icon, and he will never be forgotten. Today we have lost a truly talent. #vangelis #soundtrack #electronic #music #rip David Granha Spanish electronic music producer A great composer has passed away to join the stars. #Vangelis was a very inspired musician and will still very inspiring. The world of music owe him so much. Keep an ear to listen one more time or for the first time to his music. My thouths goes to his family and people he loves. Christophe C. Andersen Composer, Arranger, Sound Designer Vangelis Papathanassiou 1943-2022 We are bidding farewell to a singular musical mind and a deeply charismatic personality. His contributions are a treasure for humanity and place him among the greatest of greats. For most people, his creations have not yet revealed their full importance in the history of global culture. His lifetime opus, spanning Music, Technology and Painting will manifest its significance as time goes by. He is by far the most important influence in my life and the one that, through his modus operandi, made me believe early on that pursuing Music is indeed worth it, despite all the difficulties. Dimitris Menexopoulos Greek sound desginer and composer A little known fact of music history: my grandfather conducted the very first recordings of Vangelis Papathanassiou, Demis Roussos and Lucas Sideras, which started their careers as internationally renowned recording artists. My grandfather had founded what was, to the best of my knowledge, the very first independent recording studio in Athens, Greece, in the 1950s. The Columbia complex predated it and consisted of a record pressing plant and recording studios, spread out over several buildings on the same plot of land, owned by a major record label. Neither the Columbia facility nor my grandfather’s studio survived. But the music that was recorded within them certainly did. I guess it runs in the family! RIP Vangelis! #analogrecording #vangelispapathanassiou #vangelis Jesus I. Agnew Greek-American audio engineer I grew up with these epic sounds, R.I.P. legend Vangelis: Open Spotify Michelle Rodriguez American actress My favorite composer has passed away. He wrote the music to chariots of fire and the greatest movie of all time Blade Runner and many others . Rest In Peace Mr Vangelis #bladerunner #vangelis Reginald Hayes American actor, screenwriter, and director Not only is Bladerunner one of my favorite films of all time, I wore that soundtrack out! The atmospheric, evocative, otherworldly yet nostalgic score by Vangelis was the perfect synthesis of vision and emotion. He was an aural genius. #RIPVangelis Lou Diamond Phillips American actor and film director Sad to hear about the passing of Vangelis, his music and scores alike transported me to another plane. May he Rest In Peace Sasha Grey American actress and musician RIP VANGELIS - Godspeed to the Man, the Myth, the Legend. From defining the expressive voice of the CS80 to creating the iconic synth score of Bladerunner, Vangelis’ impact on our world is enormous. One of our proudest days was when we discovered many years ago that he was one of our users! What an honor! In fact, we were so thrilled when he contacted us earlier this week for support. Truly heartbroken to hear the news that one of our biggest synth heroes is gone. For us it’s like hearing about Michelangelo or Picasso passing! Thank you Vangelis for blessing us with all of your music and your boundless imagination. You are now in the place to which your music always took us, among the stars. ❤️ Spectrasonics Virtual synth company A master of creating timeless soundscapes and an inspiration for so many, we are saddened to hear news of the passing of Vangelis. Our thoughts join with the rest of the music community to mourn the loss of an icon. Yamaha Synths Synth company RIP Vangelis - One of the greatest composers and pioneers of electronic music has passed. In 1980, he composed the score for the Oscar-winning film Chariots of Fire, for which he won an Academy Award for Best Original Score. He will be greatly missed. Behringer Synth company Very sad to hear about the death of Vangelis. Not only Vangelis was this incredible composer we all know, but he was -and will remain- an amazing source of inspiration for musicians. He certainly was for us all at #Arturia. Long after Vangelis is gone his powerful brass will resonate in the heads of many. Frédéric Brun Owner of ARTURIA “He was - and will remain - an amazing source of inspiration for musicians. He certainly was for us all at #Arturia." Rest in power, Vangelis. ARTURIA Synth company Yesterday we lost one of the great electronic musicians. Vangelis was a huge influence on the early development of the sounds of Equator and the Seaboard. Here's one of our favourites from Blade Runner, found in the ROLI vaults. Link to video demonstration #RIPVangelis #Vangelis #Seaboard #BladeRunner ROLI music technology company R.I.P. Vangelis. His music in the Cosmos and Blade Runner soundtracks was one of the main influences for my career path. I saw Blade Runner in the Cinerama Theater in Seattle in 1982. Watching this in 70 mm / 6 track Dolby blew my mind. Everything about this was amazing: the synths, the 224 reverb, the huge percussion. Valhalla DSP Digital audio tools company We’re saddened to hear the passing of one of the greatest film composers of all time, the legendary Vangelis. “All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain...” Varèse Sarabande Records Soundtrack record label We were shocked to hear of Vangelis' passing last week. Vangelis spent 6 months working out of Metropolis in 2012. Rest in peace Vangelis, our thoughts and prayers are with you, your family and friends. Metropolis Studios Recording Studio, UK I couldn't and didn't want to talk about Vangelis earlier, because I couldn't. But tonight I wanted to write and share with you some memories, anecdotes and what Vangelis represented on a personal level. The immense composer and the friend he was for me. Everyone remembers the "Chariots of fire" for which he had won an Oscar against another giant, John Williams (and his music by Indiana Jones), or for his magnificent music for the film "1492, Conquest of paradise one of my favorite songs. The public generally knows only a tiny part of his work. He had actually composed so much, so much experimented. Including for me... and I find it hard to realize as I write these lines the immense honor he did me, but the last time we saw each other, he had made me listen with my astronaut friend Jean-François Clervoy a music he had composed inspired by the digital paintings of my book HOPES that he loved so much he told me. (And since Vangelis was also a great painter, a friend of Dali, you can imagine the pleasure it could have). We then sat in the armchairs of his office with Jean-François, and closed our eyes to listen to the recording he had made just before going to supper. This memory will live on forever. Nor will I ever forget those whole nights spent philosophizing on the state of the world, sometimes in the smoke of his cigars, until the early morning when he usually lost me around 6 or 7 a.m. I would then go to bed near his piano (I loved that). His incredible piano, unique in the world, with which he explored, composed, imagined, created, invented... When I came to his office, there was always an innumerable amount of awards that he had had throughout his career. Diplomas and documents from NASA (his music has indeed inspired the space world so much within all the agencies, from NASA to ESA, for which he composed the music for the Rosetta probe), but also his famous oscar - an Oscar is heavy! – and so many others… I remember asking him one day which one he was most proud of. He then showed me the olive branch (if I'm not mistaken, but I'm pretty sure it was an olive tree) under glass, which came from the village of his childhood. It had been given to him years later, when he had returned there, to Greece. A return that had sounded for him like a kind of revenge, because he had always been very critical of the education he had received at school and often explained to me that he had learned everything in the end by himself. and that the school was in no way responsible for his success (on the contrary). We also shared this critical look at school and studies and the discrepancy between what is taught there, and what we should basically expect from it. I remember lots of anecdotes he told me, light discussions we had about the stupid things we had done in our respective youths (in fact we had found some points in common on this level, it was quite amusing to the most serious and serious topics about the state of the world and the path that humanity was on. Vangelis was lucid about the state of our planet, and worried, it is the least that can be said. As a warning sign, the music he had made me listen to that famous evening, around the paintings of Hopes was very dark, it gave me the impression of a world in the midst of chaos with at times, like in the middle of a storm, sort of small musical clearings despite everything, a musical metaphor for what was going to happen in the following months... And then there were those surreal moments, when he talked to me about his friend Slavador Dali (because Vangelis was also a great painter himself and I was always stunned by his paintings which were everywhere in his house) or other personalities whose he had crossed the whole within the framework of his long career. I remember that day when he wanted to call Sean Connery, to offer him to participate in Hopes. Or that day when he showed Hopes to Oliver Stone who had stopped by the house. Because it was also this Vangelis person, someone generous who tried to help, to advise... and who, I could see, also worried about me in the complicated times I was going through, which really touched me.. Finally come back to me those moments when he played his musical works for us. This same Vangelis who had played in front of hundreds of thousands of people at the opening of the Olympic Games in Athens or in the pharaonic concerts he gave in his country and which we had for ourselves, at his home. Watching him play was a real spectacle in itself, unique on the myriad of devices around him. I have never seen anything comparable in music. I regret that we had time to collaborate more. But I consider myself so lucky already to have crossed his path and to have spent these moments with him. This evening I write these words I confess with tears in my eyes listening to his Album "Nocturne", and in particular his rewriting of "Conquest of Paradise", because it is the music that made me know him and "the petite fille de la mer” from “l'Apocalypse des Animaux” because I like the peaceful and melancholy side of this album that I listened to with my little nephew at night, looking at the sky in summer. Thank you for everything Maestro. Thank you for your music, thank you for these countless discussions, thank you for your friendship, Thank you for everything. Rest in peace Laura, I'm thinking of you very much tonight. Thank you to my friends Jean-François, and to Fernando Doblas for having allowed this beautiful meeting a few years ago without knowing that this beautiful friendship was going to result from it.

Alex Solman German illustrator Everyone remembers something from Vangelis Papathanassiou. In my memory remains something public and personal at the same time. Our collaboration in the presentation of his work "Mythodea" organized on June 28, 2001, in the center of Athens, at the Temple of Olympian Zeus, by the Ministry of Culture and Sony Classical. This music accompanied the same year, the NASA mission to Mars and became a worldwide success. It was the opening event of the Cultural Olympiad in view of the 2004 Olympic Games. An impressive universal message. But also a difficult artistic, organizational, technical, communicative and (as it happens, fortunately or unfortunately, with all the important things) political bet. Now Vangelis Papathanassiou is becoming his music. This unique musical wave that came from his talent. (translated) Evangelos Venizelos Former Greek minister of Culture and Sport Vangelis Papathanassiou, a great Greek, a great creator of contemporary music is "gone". I was lucky to have met him. His stories and artistic sensibilities were unique. We will continue to travel in its unique sounds, to the rhythm "Chraiots of Fire". (translated) Tasos Chatzivasileiou Member of the Greek Parliament Our condolences to the family of Vangelis Papathanasiou and to music lovers all over the world mourning the loss of one of Greece’s most celebrated artists. Vangelis shaped the music landscape of the 20th century and was a pioneer in fusing contemporary sounds with classical compositions and musical traditions. His legacy has been recognized by the most important performing artists and institutions around the world, and his award-winning music will remain forever a treasure for humanity. He wrote the timeless scores for Chariots of Fire and Blade Runner, among numerous other classics. Through his music, we journeyed to the stars.
