It is truly amazing that just one man can create such stunning, often beautiful soundscapes. His music is immediately recognisable by its unique blend of electronic and acoustic instrumentation, skilfully woven into an ensemble remarkable at some times for bold dynamics and striking modulations, at others for the most beguiling subtlety and restraint. Vangelis really is a genius, and his music will live forever.
Vangélis est aussi mon synthétiste préféré .Il est unique , ses musiques d' une
finesse inégalable , comme Gérard MANSET,Elles ont un sens et sont poignantes .
Vangélis a toujours été attaché à la musique minimaliste , c' est son cheval de bataille .Le minimalisme permet des sons ultra-sophistiqués , des mélodies
magnifiques ,et d' entré dans le reve .Vangélis est mon magicien des synthés.

good on ya guys ur debate made me think , i think music flows thru him .vangelis and his techniques are a mere tap through which the white noise of music is filtered .He comps!!
Music is subjective generally but when treated as an art form, and not a pass time or hobby, music has governing and rules. If you study music and enjoy both Vangelis and Mozart you can still recognize that artistically Mozart is the "real musician" but knowing this you can still enjoy the more innocent or even naive performances of less educated, and talented musicians.
Music is only as subjective or objective as people want it to be. Music, itself, has no rules. Rules are put in place by the artist, the era & society, and listener. No musician is any more real than another.
I have to agree on the "easy listening" comment... However, I suggest you listen to "La Danse du feu", from the album Odes by Vangelis, for a more rythmically interesting piece, with more excitement, and usage of tension and release.
Please tell us, what means tthat music is subjective "generally"? Tell us when music is not an art form? Do you like flamenco? The people that play or sing flamenco do not study generally like you perhaps, flamenco is subjective always and that's always art. The rules are part of the tecnic but the art begin when you go beyond the tecnic and the rules. If you say us that music are rules then take for you that kind of music, I don't want it at all, I prefer a Mathematical book.
@AlfaOmegaCosmos If I sit at a piano with no previous knowledge of the instrument and randomly bang upon the keys the odds of a performance that would be generally accepted as art would be very little,if only completely by chance or fluke. Flamenco has it's traditions , I think without which it would not be flamenco. I study afro-cuban music myself,although that has no relation to flamenco. I hoped I didn't come off as arrogant in my comments. Learn the rules first then break them by artisitic
choice and not by music limitation . The more you know the more vocabulary you have from which you can express yourself. That would be advice I would give to any musician. My comments are for musicians in a way really.
Kind of going off track here though. This video is about Vangelis, I think he plays with soul and of course he is well versed in music knowledge. His songs lack luster to my ears and I'm basing that simply on where I come from in terms of what I listen too. His music just doesn't strike me. I was hoping to appeal to like minded person when I made my comments or to give a flip side. Sorry bout the lengthy response though:/ Maybe comment on my page?
@blicky2blacky I agree with you "blicky2blacky". In my previous answer i HAD A CONFUSION WITH your post and the "AlfaOmegaCosmos"´s post sorry. To me you are who has a good concept in this matter.
@chestertonnable What is a mistake? I love Vangelis music. When you are in love with a girl is that a mistake? When you see a beautiful woman you don't think about her past, you only says: "What a beautifull girl". I don't think about Vangelis time learning music, I only hear his music, that's all.
@chestertonnable@chestertonnable Thank you very much :) I haven't visited these comments in a while but the discussions here are ,,I'm happy to see,far from the more troll ridden videos.

I'm particularly glad you agree with me Chesteronnable it's a first for me on this page. Thanks friend!
I think we live in a super-system, there are rules but there is chaos too. Rules and chaos, mixed in different quantities... the music belongs to this super-system. Vangelis understand this, and we can enjoy his music.
@AlfaOmegaCosmos Sorry... i was a mistake when i gave my agree to "AlfaOmega Cosmos". I´m new with the use of "You tube". My agree was (is) for "blickyblacky". Sorry again.
@chestertonnable@chestertonnable Thank you very much :) I haven't visited these comments in a while but the discussions here are, I'm glad, far from the more troll ridden videos.

@blicky2blacky Thanks to you for your very positive actitude. Is marvellous can talk about this topics with motivated persons. About your thoughts: i watch a rational speach. I prefere it because i see more frecuently other kind of words.
@AlfaOmegaCosmos The modern studies of physic says to us that in the begining the universe had basic principles: concrete temperature, concrete particles, concrete light, ... . All those things are not our creation; it was before we was. Of course there was chaos too, but the chaos was´t a radical obstacle to the logos. In certain way is true that we transformer chaos in logos because we can obtain armony in parts of chaotic sistems. However it has the limitation correspondent to our subtance.
@chestertonnable Yes, that is phisic (black holes, Big Bang, Dark Energy, particles...), but when you enjoy music, do you think about all of this? What's happen with the music then? Where is your mind? Science is usefull, mathematics is usefull, to learn music is usefull... but music is not words or symbols.
@AlfaOmegaCosmos I understand your point of view; it is right. I talk from another perspective. I talk more from the composer´s point of view. When Van. talks he do not express himself with words because he prefers the music; but HE PRACTISE ALL THE DAY PLAYING his keyboards. And remenber: his parents belong to the high culture greek .So Vangelis LEARNT informally, but he IS LEARNING. Another topic is the explanation about the absolut origin of the music.: Vangelis says cosmos. I talk about God
@AlfaOmegaCosmos You are in a deep mistake. Do you consider that Beethoven lost his time learning music?. Do you believe that Vangelis do not learn music absolutelly?
@chestertonnable What is a mistake? I love Vangelis music. When you are in love with a girl is that a mistake? When you see a beautiful woman you don't thing about his past, you only says: "What beautifull". I don't think about Vangelis time learning music, I only hear his music, that's all.
@AlfaOmegaCosmos Thanks for your answer. In some way i agree with you; we must enjoy the beauty. But, also, the human being is capable to say: " Why is it beautyfull ? ". So we are analitic creatures. This aspect is join to our quality of learning; this matter permit us learn more & better to obtain more beauty.
@chestertonnable When you transform yourself in an analitic creature, you lost the magic. You see a rose, if you enjoy the beautifull of a rose and then you begin to think, all the magic of the moment go away. Magic is something that happen, it's not a concept, it's not analitic. Beauty is in the Nature, we don't have to learn more to enjoy it. To analice is usefull perhaps to know about another worlds but don't give you the magic...
@AlfaOmegaCosmos Upon this lines i answered you. Here i put this: when we are listening music the mind is prepared for the external armony but the mind has itself armony when it gives sense to the sensations. So " the magic " has a part of analisis by itself, by its "nature". Due to it we do not absolutelly pasives. (I did not speak about social aspects).
@chestertonnable If it's so easy as you say, all people that study music should create music like Vangelis, like Mozart, like Bethoven, and that is not true. To study help to compose but there's something else "magic", for flamenco "duende", for salsa "sabor", that you have got or you haven't. I remeber you that to many people like Camaron de la Isla (flamenco), Chano pozo (salsa) do not study but the are absolutely great in music... Chano pozo was a big composer and he didn't study at all.
@AlfaOmegaCosmos The inner armony do not come when you study, it come's when you are one with the music that you enjoy. To study can help you to understand but the most important thing is to become one with the music.
@AlfaOmegaCosmos I agree. However the problem is the exageration of "the feeling", exageration very usual today. I fact Vangelis has an important contribution in this error.
@chestertonnable You are right in part. When some people can't express that feeling then you are right -because they have no teknic-, but when a person can do that (I think Vangelis can) in that case you exclude it, and you are not right. ;-)
@AlfaOmegaCosmos In the end we are agree!. :-) Of course Vangelis has great technic, a good concept of what is music, but -due to his philosophy- he prefers don´t talk about it and makes a speak based in the nature. He shows machines hardly; he prefers show only keyboards which are like a direct contact between his fingers and the "universe" (El Greco -the painter- said ``Revelation´´,by The Holy Spirit ). In an interview to Vangelis he talks about the difficulty of ending a work of music
@AlfaOmegaCosmos I didn´t say it is easy!!. I agree: in schools of music only a little bit of people learn composition. It is because only part of people has talent for it, and it is too because today there is not good learning for this mather. By the other hand: you put me examples of flamenco. I can say several things. The first: "blickcy2blacky" said you very certain point: flamenco has a TRADITION. Second: there is not human aspec that it can be codified at all, but despite of it we learning
@chestertonnable Well, it's your opinion. But I saw to many shows of flamenco and my mind flew. I think you speak so fast, beause you can't feel the flamenco. For example: There was a song in flamenco about the see, and this song transport to my mind to see de sea, to hear the waves, ... perhaps flamenco is more free than classical music, but for me it's great, so great as classical music. And too many people that are very sensitive can appreciate the flamenco.
@AlfaOmegaCosmos I don´t want give ofense to you. Of course flamenco is good music. With modestity i say that i think much about this question. My father loved -he died- flamenco but he recognized that Paco De Lucía´s music would survive more if he had put more touch of classical conception. Obviously in flamenco there are "palos" quite classical, i. e. the "malagueñas" only playing with guitar. The problem with the voice in flamenco is -too much times- it looks like a terrible scream...
@chestertonnable Don't worry, you don't ofense me. Flamenco is much more than the form, it's spirit. If you can't feel what the "cantaor" and the guitarrista" want to express then we can't speak about this because our languages are different. Classical music can't play flamenco and flamenco can't play classical music... both have sounds but they are different, of course.
@chestertonnable@chestertonnable What is a mistake? I love Vangelis music. When you are in love with a girl is that a mistake? When you see a beautiful woman you don't think about his past, you only says: "What beautifull". I don't think about Vangelis time learning music, I only hear his music, that's all.
It is this superiority amongst "the classically trained" that drives me up a wall. Indeed, the world is ignorant and subject to your uniquely-brilliant, and rarefied critique. Get of your high horse. Music has no rules. That's why it is an art.
My comment was spawned by previous comments and by the artist in the video. You should at least tell us your view on this improv or something about the artist before going off on me. Makinvidz gave a response you can learn from by the way. He didn't just protest my view and then make off, he backed up his view and gave me a opportunity to see another side to Vangelis. You come off as contentious if you say "music has no rules" and nothing more. Give me an example when music has no rules!
Prove me wrong in an effort to correct me. Elaborate, enlighten me. Yes, I'm a trained musician but will see through the eyes of a lay man if you present a good and fair point. post up a link of a song you think follows no rules and explain what you like about it. I'll be all ears for both your point and the vid. As for MakinVidz, the piece is certainly rhythmical and I was not familiar with that piece before you posted it. Thanks for intelligent response:)
Must I really explain this? I shouldn't need to post a "piece with no rules" to prove my point. Do you really think that Beethoven thought in theory and notation when he composed Moonlight Sonata? Did Debussy when he composed his Reverie? Schubert, his Serenade? I doubt it. You claim music follows rules, but only because it is the sole medium through which we can easily express the mathematics of sound.
I commented on "the classically-trained" and the sense of unique, clairvoyant insight they are convinced they hold. My comment was regarding the nature of music itself. Music, as perceived by the mind, is form, shape, and texture, all of which are widely interpreted by the individual. Did you conceive of harmony's mechanics, dissonance, or the distance between octaves, or the mathematics of keys?
? I think not, thus, you are fit to judge their implementation only in the company of those who think themselves ignorant. And clearly, as your previous posts can attest, you have no problem attempting to label people as "laymen", or "ignorant".
I ask only that in the future, you think of yourself as an equal amongst the lowly "ignorant", for in the eyes of interpretation, a blank canvas is as expressive as the Mona Lisa, and Nirvana was as accomplished as Barber. As James Horner once said, "music is color". Combinations are infinite, and "informed" criticism is ultimately pointless.
A very nice speech! Yes, you needed to explain it but you did so very well. I had said that music when it's not treated as a pass time or hobby has governing rules. This is to say that if your occupation is in music you use and apply the theory to excel as a musician . Of course, many people can transcribe by ear and there are many ,whom with out theoretical knowledge and regard for rules can play like a virtuoso.
Not all have the gift of interpreting chords as colour (an ear training technique) but it's something that can take years to develop. No one needs to go to college or read books to play music, or good music for that matter but un-wittingly you will be abiding music rules. Chord structures and intervals don't change because you don't know them. Everyone plays there minors and majors and pentatonic. There is a natural law about music just like the science behind this earth.
i used barbed words such as "ignorant", "layman" (not so much barbed) simply because of years of entertaining conversations where the person you are speaking with speaks bull-sh%t.For the majority of music listeners music is back ground noise. It's every where you go. The "banging" tunes in night clubs with there strict formula driven by money ie rap and hip hop tunes one after another with the same song structure. Commercial makes me suspicions of other listeners. I'm searching for
a conversation worth while.I was posting for musicians who want to disagree with my deconstruction of vangelis not argue about laws and rules. Some how that comment got knit picked. I was talking about Vangelis first and foremost. That was my topic. You give an excellent debate but it does not un-do my opinions on Vangelis. I've said a hundred times everyone reserves the right to your music choice and I said no one should feel like an idiot for it. Read my early posts again please.
@blicky2blacky Usaidpart true, partfalse. There arenatural lawsthat explain octaves, harmonics,Hz,etc. Music isnt natural laws. Occidentals have a12tone system, oriental have microtones, a24tones system, different harmony rules &nondiatonic scales. So isnt a natural thing. Rules Rinvented, in the baroque did not exist secondary dominants &modern harmony. A tonal, Serialism dont use the pitch centered concept. There no natural law that forces A tobe 440Hz, was a human choice. InEurope A is435Hz.
@AkiraSamuray Yes. So... we can say that another part is objetive too: when a human capture the impression caused by one or another style: one style provoque a state in all the humans, and other style carry out another state.
@blicky2blacky a song you think follows no rules? Easy! Any Britney Spears song or gansta Hip Hop! LOL
what you like about it?Me? I dont likeit, but people like that she dance half naked, even being a badsinger, andalso people love ganstarap hi hop message of violence&sex.
Mozart is still in style after enturies, and is not because he was a sex symbol that danced half naked or promote glamorous sensationalistic sex/violence messages. He had talent, he create ART, not commercial gimmicks
Some oriental music dont follows rules. They have a different universe. Well, acctually dont follow OUR occidental rules, dont follow occidental tuning, harmony, etc. But they have their rules.
Africans did not excel in harmony, did not have those rules, but did excel in syncopation and complex rhythms
Serial music dont follow tonal rules. Is a valid answer for your question???
@AkiraSamuray Foreign (exotical) music has, ITSELF, rules. I´m going give an example. : African music has ITSELF little themes, several kinds of rithms (which imites human actitudes or animals) and some of contrapuntistic tecnic. Of course this music -the music from Africa- not grow like a tree; this music was invented by the human being from Africa.
@thewritingwriterof89 Some classical guys think they are the only virtuosos, and there are vistuosis in other styles like Jazz and Flamenco (Paco De Lucia), both "enemies" of some classical guys.
@AkiraSamuray Basic laws in music are: wich is the theme?, are there good variations?. These principles not depending of styles. There are two kinds of reductionisms: 1-People who dont´t makes variations (pop music) 2-People who makes mathematics (Xenakis).
@thewritingwriterof89 U said part true, pert false. Music hasnt UNIVERSAL OBLIGATORY RULES to follow, forced by the sonic laws of mother nature. But since rules are created by humans, therefore music has rules. That is what differentiate an era from another like baroque from romanticisms,.or differentiate a style form another, like jazz from blues. In music as in painting & the other arts, are rules. The artist is free to follow them or not... or even create new ones, is his right
@AkiraSamuray It´s not exactly true. The nature out of human being has functions that the human being can takes into the mind and the body, and, by the other hand, more or less translates to signs, languages; the nature inside of the human being has the proper states, that the human being wants give outside with apropiate elements.The different artistic styles are question of fashions but the basic characteristics are not change. In it i agree with Vangelis: music are one, without divisions.
@AkiraSamuray The solution is the CORRESPONDENCE between the Creation outside the human being and the inside of the human being. Moving only with historical references and saying that the humans put the laws put confusion.
No one is a musical moron for challenging your taste but you must first anaylise your own position with music. Are you ignorant or are you in the know? It's not a matter of simplicity versus complex but there is a universal law of creativity and technicality that decides what/who a real musician is.
stylistic feel.Rhythmically he is very uninteresting and harmonically does not excite us with dissonance and tension. He would appeal to people who enjoy easy listening and I must note, these people reserve the right to enjoy such things. Whilst I am criticizing him, simply because of my own music preferences, I believe that people who enjoy his music should do so in peace and not with harressment from critics. "Chick Corea", "Herbie Hancock" are two "real musicians" whom mik300z should search!
After reading some comments I decided to give my own "two cents". I agree with peoples comments regarding his sensitive use of synthesizers and it's quite obvious he is a musician who focuses on setting a mood. I also agree that technically he is lack lustre and his "playing" is over rated, as distinct from note choice. I will however side with the negative comments. He lacks imagination, doesn't play outside of the key. A clip of him playing "jazz" clearly illustrates his lack of swing and...
I believe he took some time out to learn standard notation, besides that Standard notation was made up by composers because they didnt have a record button get it? And he is making Living scoring movies and making albums not as music arranger for a publishing company get it? Leave him alone...disgusting people he makes the music for you...you need composers.
Just because one doesn't care for a particular musician is no reason to insult their abilities. Do you realize how stupid you look insulting Vangelis? Only a musical moron would do so.
@theoriginalmrsm Sonia do not insult Vangelis´ abilities but she said the true: he haven´t got an specially impressive technic playing the piano or composing contrapuntisticlly. However he has great sense of the unity of the pieces, melody, rithm, and of the colour of the sound, which are paths that another composers have not got.
Vangelis has a great sense of melody, very sensitive, and the sounds he uses are the icing on the cake, his work with Aphrodite's Child was life changing for me, he really has this ability to take you to another world with his keyboard playing, it's not particularly flash or technically impressive, but it's emotionally devastating.
@Sonialovebunch agreed, you don't need to have the best material if you can develope the best with what you got, that's what vangelis does you understud like me!!.... very well!!...
@magneto77 Not once the whole time I have been on youtube have I ever used bad language but you really are a true arsehole. We're still waiting for your "real musician" video
Buy some of his CDs, Turn the light off. And listen. After you do that. Come here and say shit like you said. Vangelis is making almost god-like music.
First U need to see more to him to judge, second try this yourself before u call him overrated (were talking about a time when synths were not that being sophisticated and complicated as they are this time) , third he is able to play all kinds of instruments like guitar, piano, drums, vibraphone, and so on and so on. You should send a video yourself to convince us of your abilities. And if you do not like Vangelis, why are you wasting your time writing all your comments anyway???
you can see in the first plan the vocal ensemble synth roland vp330 vocoder plus with a height on it to play c#d# the vocal ensemble sound of this string machine , for me the best synth in the world with the cs80 , i will post soon some new video made by my roland vp330 , the vangelis ultimate synth !!!
It's improv, it's not a piece, you're hearing it as he's creating it.
The most fun thing to do back in band was "sight read". you look over the piece once, as a band, and then you play it the 2nd time through. It felt like improv except you were being directed and the notes were put in place for you. But you created the musicality.
Ένα από τα καλύτερα κομμάτια από Vanglis, μεγάλη μουσική! Σας παρακαλούμε να μας στείλετε κάποια πιο σπάνια βίντεο αυτού του είδους, V είναι πλοίαρχος όλων των ηλεκτρονική μουσική!
PHILL COLLINS no esta tan alejado de vangelis el hiso una cancion bastante atmosferica en los ochenta .
Ademas hay que recordar que vangelis casi toca con YES una banda de rock progresivo y GENESIS en sus comiensos era tambien una banda de rock progresivo. Tambien ley que vangelis tiene un disco que es principalmente rock progresivo.
afortunadamente no se unio a YES de lo contrario estariamos (capando) a uno de los mejores compositores que hay ahora, si bien colaboro con j. anderson en 4 discos con buenos resultados, si bien el ultimo PAGE OF LIFE no da tanto la talla.....
Es maravilloso, inmejorable,... su música pervivirá en el tiempo. Es evidente. Coincido contigo que al nivel de Mozart. Fijate, yo no se música, pero me encanta y Vangelis es un genio.
preciasamente una de las cualidades de vangelis es que su musica es atemporal, l'enfant carros de fuego o hymne suenan tan frescos antes como ahora,hay musicos que rapidamente pasan de moda, vangelis es un artista que carece de etiquetas de ahi que se amolde a casi todo....
Vangelis nos muestra cómo a través de la música se crean mundos en nuestra imaginación. Su música nos acerca unas veces al Cosmos en toda su magnificencia y otras veces a lo más sutil y delicado. Música almacenada en vinilos, Cds y memorias de bits, cual burbujas de aire en glaciares, para nuestro deleite... sin la tecnología (creación y almacenamiento) no hubiera podido ser posible deleitarnos con toda la belleza que nos lega el genio griego.
Estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo. Es una maravilla que hoy la teconologia nos permita reproducir autenticas obras de arte, en el sentido musica. Vangelis me parece francamente un genio, fuera de lo normal. Es evidente que el tiempo dira, pero ya se sabe: "art longa, vita brevis"
es una pena pero este hombre cuando fallezca (ojala llegue a los 100), le haran multitud de homenajes y vendera el doble que ahora, el reconocimiento se debe de hacer en vida, ya que hay que aprovechar ahora que el genio vive....
no digas ni de broma eso"! este hombre aun tiene mucho por dar por que es un genio musical, y sigo esperando un cd con nuevas composiciones de el. saludos
believe me just look the posts here and look how many times people play his music here, he is no underated, just the opposite, everybody believes he is a genius
I agree with u it's a hell of a shame he's unknown in his country perhaps the music he produces isn't popular at home. Even here in morocco everyone knows & adores him.

Music is subjective generally but when treated as an art form, and not a pass time or hobby, music has governing and rules. If you study music and enjoy both Vangelis and Mozart you can still recognize that artistically Mozart is the "real musician" but knowing this you can still enjoy the more innocent or even naive performances of less educated, and talented musicians.
blicky2blacky 2 years ago
Music is only as subjective or objective as people want it to be. Music, itself, has no rules. Rules are put in place by the artist, the era & society, and listener. No musician is any more real than another.
I have to agree on the "easy listening" comment... However, I suggest you listen to "La Danse du feu", from the album Odes by Vangelis, for a more rythmically interesting piece, with more excitement, and usage of tension and release.

Please tell us, what means tthat music is subjective "generally"? Tell us when music is not an art form? Do you like flamenco? The people that play or sing flamenco do not study generally like you perhaps, flamenco is subjective always and that's always art. The rules are part of the tecnic but the art begin when you go beyond the tecnic and the rules. If you say us that music are rules then take for you that kind of music, I don't want it at all, I prefer a Mathematical book.

@AlfaOmegaCosmos If I sit at a piano with no previous knowledge of the instrument and randomly bang upon the keys the odds of a performance that would be generally accepted as art would be very little,if only completely by chance or fluke. Flamenco has it's traditions , I think without which it would not be flamenco. I study afro-cuban music myself,although that has no relation to flamenco. I hoped I didn't come off as arrogant in my comments. Learn the rules first then break them by artisitic

Kind of going off track here though. This video is about Vangelis, I think he plays with soul and of course he is well versed in music knowledge. His songs lack luster to my ears and I'm basing that simply on where I come from in terms of what I listen too. His music just doesn't strike me. I was hoping to appeal to like minded person when I made my comments or to give a flip side. Sorry bout the lengthy response though:/ Maybe comment on my page?

@AlfaOmegaCosmos The modern studies of physic says to us that in the begining the universe had basic principles: concrete temperature, concrete particles, concrete light, ... . All those things are not our creation; it was before we was. Of course there was chaos too, but the chaos was´t a radical obstacle to the logos. In certain way is true that we transformer chaos in logos because we can obtain armony in parts of chaotic sistems. However it has the limitation correspondent to our subtance.

@chestertonnable Yes, that is phisic (black holes, Big Bang, Dark Energy, particles...), but when you enjoy music, do you think about all of this? What's happen with the music then? Where is your mind? Science is usefull, mathematics is usefull, to learn music is usefull... but music is not words or symbols.

@AlfaOmegaCosmos I understand your point of view; it is right. I talk from another perspective. I talk more from the composer´s point of view. When Van. talks he do not express himself with words because he prefers the music; but HE PRACTISE ALL THE DAY PLAYING his keyboards. And remenber: his parents belong to the high culture greek .So Vangelis LEARNT informally, but he IS LEARNING. Another topic is the explanation about the absolut origin of the music.: Vangelis says cosmos. I talk about God

@AlfaOmegaCosmos Thanks for your answer. In some way i agree with you; we must enjoy the beauty. But, also, the human being is capable to say: " Why is it beautyfull ? ". So we are analitic creatures. This aspect is join to our quality of learning; this matter permit us learn more & better to obtain more beauty.
chestertonnable 1 year ago
@chestertonnable When you transform yourself in an analitic creature, you lost the magic. You see a rose, if you enjoy the beautifull of a rose and then you begin to think, all the magic of the moment go away. Magic is something that happen, it's not a concept, it's not analitic. Beauty is in the Nature, we don't have to learn more to enjoy it. To analice is usefull perhaps to know about another worlds but don't give you the magic...
AlfaOmegaCosmos 1 year ago
@AlfaOmegaCosmos Upon this lines i answered you. Here i put this: when we are listening music the mind is prepared for the external armony but the mind has itself armony when it gives sense to the sensations. So " the magic " has a part of analisis by itself, by its "nature". Due to it we do not absolutelly pasives. (I did not speak about social aspects).
chestertonnable 1 year ago
@chestertonnable If it's so easy as you say, all people that study music should create music like Vangelis, like Mozart, like Bethoven, and that is not true. To study help to compose but there's something else "magic", for flamenco "duende", for salsa "sabor", that you have got or you haven't. I remeber you that to many people like Camaron de la Isla (flamenco), Chano pozo (salsa) do not study but the are absolutely great in music... Chano pozo was a big composer and he didn't study at all.

@AlfaOmegaCosmos The inner armony do not come when you study, it come's when you are one with the music that you enjoy. To study can help you to understand but the most important thing is to become one with the music.

@chestertonnable You are right in part. When some people can't express that feeling then you are right -because they have no teknic-, but when a person can do that (I think Vangelis can) in that case you exclude it, and you are not right. ;-)
AlfaOmegaCosmos 1 year ago
@AlfaOmegaCosmos In the end we are agree!. :-) Of course Vangelis has great technic, a good concept of what is music, but -due to his philosophy- he prefers don´t talk about it and makes a speak based in the nature. He shows machines hardly; he prefers show only keyboards which are like a direct contact between his fingers and the "universe" (El Greco -the painter- said ``Revelation´´,by The Holy Spirit ). In an interview to Vangelis he talks about the difficulty of ending a work of music

@AlfaOmegaCosmos I didn´t say it is easy!!. I agree: in schools of music only a little bit of people learn composition. It is because only part of people has talent for it, and it is too because today there is not good learning for this mather. By the other hand: you put me examples of flamenco. I can say several things. The first: "blickcy2blacky" said you very certain point: flamenco has a TRADITION. Second: there is not human aspec that it can be codified at all, but despite of it we learning

@chestertonnable((continuation from above)) The third aspect: flamenco is not so high than "classical" music.
chestertonnable 1 year ago
@chestertonnable Well, it's your opinion. But I saw to many shows of flamenco and my mind flew. I think you speak so fast, beause you can't feel the flamenco. For example: There was a song in flamenco about the see, and this song transport to my mind to see de sea, to hear the waves, ... perhaps flamenco is more free than classical music, but for me it's great, so great as classical music. And too many people that are very sensitive can appreciate the flamenco.

@AlfaOmegaCosmos I don´t want give ofense to you. Of course flamenco is good music. With modestity i say that i think much about this question. My father loved -he died- flamenco but he recognized that Paco De Lucía´s music would survive more if he had put more touch of classical conception. Obviously in flamenco there are "palos" quite classical, i. e. the "malagueñas" only playing with guitar. The problem with the voice in flamenco is -too much times- it looks like a terrible scream...
chestertonnable 1 year ago
@chestertonnable Don't worry, you don't ofense me. Flamenco is much more than the form, it's spirit. If you can't feel what the "cantaor" and the guitarrista" want to express then we can't speak about this because our languages are different. Classical music can't play flamenco and flamenco can't play classical music... both have sounds but they are different, of course.

It is this superiority amongst "the classically trained" that drives me up a wall. Indeed, the world is ignorant and subject to your uniquely-brilliant, and rarefied critique. Get of your high horse. Music has no rules. That's why it is an art.

My comment was spawned by previous comments and by the artist in the video. You should at least tell us your view on this improv or something about the artist before going off on me. Makinvidz gave a response you can learn from by the way. He didn't just protest my view and then make off, he backed up his view and gave me a opportunity to see another side to Vangelis. You come off as contentious if you say "music has no rules" and nothing more. Give me an example when music has no rules!

Prove me wrong in an effort to correct me. Elaborate, enlighten me. Yes, I'm a trained musician but will see through the eyes of a lay man if you present a good and fair point. post up a link of a song you think follows no rules and explain what you like about it. I'll be all ears for both your point and the vid. As for MakinVidz, the piece is certainly rhythmical and I was not familiar with that piece before you posted it. Thanks for intelligent response:)

Must I really explain this? I shouldn't need to post a "piece with no rules" to prove my point. Do you really think that Beethoven thought in theory and notation when he composed Moonlight Sonata? Did Debussy when he composed his Reverie? Schubert, his Serenade? I doubt it. You claim music follows rules, but only because it is the sole medium through which we can easily express the mathematics of sound.
thewritingwriterof89 1 year ago
I commented on "the classically-trained" and the sense of unique, clairvoyant insight they are convinced they hold. My comment was regarding the nature of music itself. Music, as perceived by the mind, is form, shape, and texture, all of which are widely interpreted by the individual. Did you conceive of harmony's mechanics, dissonance, or the distance between octaves, or the mathematics of keys?
thewritingwriterof89 1 year ago
? I think not, thus, you are fit to judge their implementation only in the company of those who think themselves ignorant. And clearly, as your previous posts can attest, you have no problem attempting to label people as "laymen", or "ignorant".
thewritingwriterof89 1 year ago
I ask only that in the future, you think of yourself as an equal amongst the lowly "ignorant", for in the eyes of interpretation, a blank canvas is as expressive as the Mona Lisa, and Nirvana was as accomplished as Barber. As James Horner once said, "music is color". Combinations are infinite, and "informed" criticism is ultimately pointless.
thewritingwriterof89 1 year ago
A very nice speech! Yes, you needed to explain it but you did so very well. I had said that music when it's not treated as a pass time or hobby has governing rules. This is to say that if your occupation is in music you use and apply the theory to excel as a musician . Of course, many people can transcribe by ear and there are many ,whom with out theoretical knowledge and regard for rules can play like a virtuoso.
blicky2blacky 1 year ago
Not all have the gift of interpreting chords as colour (an ear training technique) but it's something that can take years to develop. No one needs to go to college or read books to play music, or good music for that matter but un-wittingly you will be abiding music rules. Chord structures and intervals don't change because you don't know them. Everyone plays there minors and majors and pentatonic. There is a natural law about music just like the science behind this earth.

i used barbed words such as "ignorant", "layman" (not so much barbed) simply because of years of entertaining conversations where the person you are speaking with speaks bull-sh%t.For the majority of music listeners music is back ground noise.

Rules Rinvented, in the baroque did not exist secondary dominants &modern harmony. A tonal, Serialism dont use the pitch centered concept. There no natural law that forces A tobe 440Hz, was a human choice. InEurope A is435Hz.

@AkiraSamuray Foreign (exotical) music has, ITSELF, rules.

@thewritingwriterof89 U said part true, pert false. Music hasnt UNIVERSAL OBLIGATORY RULES to follow, forced by the sonic laws of mother nature. But since rules are created by humans, therefore music has rules. That is what differentiate an era from another like baroque from romanticisms,.or differentiate a style form another, like jazz from blues. In music as in painting & the other arts, are rules. The artist is free to follow them or not... or even create new ones, is his right
AkiraSamuray 1 year ago
@AkiraSamuray It´s not exactly true. The nature out of human being has functions that the human being can takes into the mind and the body, and, by the other hand, more or less translates to signs, languages; the nature inside of the human being has the proper states, that the human being wants give outside with apropiate elements.The different artistic styles are question of fashions but the basic characteristics are not change. In it i agree with Vangelis: music are one, without divisions.

No one is a musical moron for challenging your taste but you must first anaylise your own position with music. Are you ignorant or are you in the know?

Vangelis has a great sense of melody, very sensitive, and the sounds he uses are the icing on the cake, his work with Aphrodite's Child was life changing for me, he really has this ability to take you to another world with his keyboard playing, it's not particularly flash or technically impressive, but it's emotionally devastating.

Es maravilloso, inmejorable,... su música pervivirá en el tiempo. Es evidente. Coincido contigo que al nivel de Mozart. Fijate, yo no se música, pero me encanta y Vangelis es un genio.

preciasamente una de las cualidades de vangelis es que su musica es atemporal, l'enfant carros de fuego o hymne suenan tan frescos antes como ahora,hay musicos que rapidamente pasan de moda, vangelis es un artista que carece de etiquetas de ahi que se amolde a casi todo....

Я имею счастье жить в одно время с великим композитором.
И я имел счастье родиться в день его рождения.

Vangelis nos muestra cómo a través de la música se crean mundos en nuestra imaginación. Su música nos acerca unas veces al Cosmos en toda su magnificencia y otras veces a lo más sutil y delicado. Música almacenada en vinilos, Cds y memorias de bits, cual burbujas de aire en glaciares, para nuestro deleite... sin la tecnología (creación y almacenamiento) no hubiera podido ser posible deleitarnos con toda la belleza que nos lega el genio griego.
This is one of the unknown men

Estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo. Es una maravilla que hoy la teconologia nos permita reproducir autenticas obras de arte, en el sentido musica. Vangelis me parece francamente un genio, fuera de lo normal. Es evidente que el tiempo dira, pero ya se sabe: "art longa, vita brevis"

es una pena pero este hombre cuando fallezca (ojala llegue a los 100), le haran multitud de homenajes y vendera el doble que ahora, el reconocimiento se debe de hacer en vida, ya que hay que aprovechar ahora que el genio vive....

The most underated composer of our times. A complete genius and an amzing artist.

believe me just look the posts here and look how many times people play his music here, he is no underated, just the opposite, everybody believes he is a genius

simplemente es un genio sus interpretaciones son fuera de serie muy creativo y se ve que ve la musica como un arte y no como algo comercialista

I agree with u it's a hell of a shame he's unknown in his country perhaps the music he produces isn't popular at home. Even here in morocco everyone knows & adores him.
He's such a great man
