Vangelis was a Greek composer and arranger known for his work in electronic, progressive, ambient, and classical orchestral music. Born on March 29, 1943, in Agria near Volos, Greece, he began writing music at the age of 4 and performed his first live concert at just 6 years old.
He started his career as a member of *Evangelos Papathanassiou*. In the sixties, he co-founded *Aphrodite's Child* alongside Demis Roussos and Lucas Sideras. He also found success as part of *Jon & Vangelis* in the early eighties. A talented composer, producer, and musician, Vangelis is renowned for composing soundtracks to films such as 'Blade Runner', 'Chariots Of Fire', and '1492: Conquest of Paradise'. With over 60 albums to his name, many of them collaborations.
His unique style has influenced artists such as Jean-Michel Jarre, Kitaro, Mike Oldfield,and Tangerine Dream among others. Despite his passing on May 17th ,2022 due to complications from COVID-19 treatment in Paris France at the age of 79,his musical legacy continues to inspire generations.

Vangelis releases a new album 'Rosetta', inspired by the European Space Agency mission of the same name.The 12-track suite was inspired by the 12-year operation that landed the Philae module on Comet P67 in 2014. The programme will end on September 30, when the Rosetta parent vehicle is slow-crashed on to the comet. The music was inspired after speaking to ESA astronaut Andre Kuipers, who was aboard the International Space Station at the time. To Vangelis, music is a sacred, basic force of the universe, its purpose to elevate, inspire and to heal humankind. Never has this been more obvious than on 'Rosetta', which perfectly blends his fascination with the universe and his masterly ability to compose stirring music that fuels the senses.
