The greatest synth composer ever. There have been good ones, but he is the top! No one will come close.

3:00 UNTIL THE END IS ORGASMIC!!

@Bowling300OldStyle Agreed! Vangelis is the best. Check out Aaron Marshall, or Michael Stearns

@psicolor Actually that is called Polyphonic After touch. The CS80 was the first and best with this feature. When he is moving his finger back and forth it is expressed as a varying extra pressure downward on the key. This can be steered to numerous features such as filter sweeps, modulations and such per note. Other keyboards have Mono After touch but it is voice wide. What a beast of a keyboard. No one has been able to capture all the features and sound of the CS80 even to this day.

Vangelis is the master on the VP-330 keyboard. I love these lush string sounds.

@FSXISCOOL I think it was just his way of saying : "I'm more interested in the music itslef than the sells of albums I make etc." It's an echo to what he said earlier about not getting locked on your previous successes and pushing you're musical explorations further. But... It is true that not many musicians would openly say : "I'm more interested in selling a lot of albums than in making music"... However, if he was really after the money, I think we would have seen him on TV much more often.

Grande Vangelis,brinca no teclado

[glorideum]

which song is the one he plays at the end?

[ErixPerix]

@psicolor the synthesizer registers a left or right movement of the  fingger when a key is pressed; that data is binded to filter. You can seem him moving his fingers from left to right while he presses on one of the keys at 3:45 - 3:48.

[RhythmDroid]

That's the effect of a "comb-filter". I think he achieves it by programming his synths very well.

Its hard to believe that this man couldn't read or write music! yet his very soul and heart could produce such beautiful and deep spiritual music!..he has a great and amazing gift...a gift of life and music many could only emulate and dream about....when he was a child..rather than play his mothers piano..he would pluck the strings and listen to the dif sounds!..he was a deep person from the beginning!....amazing and yet simple man..who shuns publicity...yet deep down i suspect loves his status.

[psicolor]

2:01 ! I love it!

How does he make this mild pitch-shifting, flanging sound? Is this because it's recorded on analog magnetic tape?
