As a huge fan of Vangelis, and even beyond everything discussed in this great interview, it just fills me with joy to see him happy and healthy. Thanks so much for this video. There definitely is something that attracts musicians (at least some of them) to the wonders of space and science. Thanks again!
I hesitate to call this an interview - this was more of a conversation where Vangelis did most of the talking. It was great to see his jovial side show up in this conversation, too. And another thing I really liked about this interview: it's uncut. This was Vangelis, the man: pure and unfiltered all the way through, with only a minimal amount of interruptions by the interviewers. And Vangelis provided some very deep and profound thoughts throughout. You can't help but be touched by the immense wisdom of Vangelis. Whether it's expressed in musical form, or with his spoken words, you are definitely aware of the gravitas that he carries with him. He is the spokesperson of the Universe, he is an ombudsman sent to us, humans to keep us aware of the symphony of sounds that exist in the Universe. I will leave you with one final thought. Vangelis yet again mentioned that the Universe is music, that everything generates sound, or at least vibrations. Especially in light of his words it was very profound for me to see this theory repeated from an entirely different perspective by Dr. Michio Kaku in a recent interview. It's only a few minutes, but definitely thought provoking: ruclips.net/video/ZAhDvhkxgnM/видео.html A huge thank you to ESA and to Space Rocks for making this interview happen!
A truly unique phenomenon... Irrespective of one's musical tastes, it is an objective fact that He is the only 'electronic' artist who could compose and perform music that spans such vast range of genres, styles, moves across so many historic periods' and geographical areas' musical traditions. It is simply astonishing that a single person could instinctively "inhabit" so many different musical worlds, and actually managing to connect them.
His way to view music is important. After all he does not consider electronic as artificial. But overall he considers music one core dimension of the world. Which it is. And please bear in mind. He has said in other interview, music is before sound. So harmony and ratios and patterns and vibrations etc are music.
@@innosanto Absolutely. Andhereally doesn't specifically care how sound is made - as he said many times, he just "happens" to use electronic instruments because he can create the sounds he wants. Personally I never considered him an "electronic" musician, he thinks in sounds wherever they come from and in however manner they are produced. Perhaps this is the key attitude when it comes to being able to create music that spans time & geographical traditions.
He says something interesting on this: Vision, we see roughly where we look. But sound, we get a mix of sounds that come from everywhere around. So with great quality sound can get an "image" which gives so much info.
Vangelis is a very wise man. He is my preferred artist together with Jean-Michel Jarre ( I cannot compare both because they are different and their music have influenced me in different ways too). What impress me about Vangelis is the way he sees life. He said in this roundtable about how vibrations and music communicate with us, the vibration that a sound of a city can have and also any element in nature. From Physics or quantum computing, vibrations are there and today even modern theories in astrophysics such as String Theory uses the concepts of vibration. And what is music ? Vibration , energy . So everything can have their sonic signature .. a unique signature and it would be a kind of fingerprint. At same time he said something very interesting. The way he composes is free and he tries to not be attached to "system" as he says, because this limits your creativity. And gave an example of the composition of Chariots of Fire and also 1492 that initially were not considered to be a hit but eventually became a hit. And he said if science could do the same (not the limit itself for the system) it would be more creative and could solve even the problems easily , similarly as he sees in terms of music.
I wish I found this video earlier! One of the best interviews I've ever seen. Vangelis seemed to be at ease here and every single question/topic you discussed was absolutely interesting. What a great way to celebrate the Maestro, thank you so much for this!
I am waiting for Venalis visit in Poland all my life.When I was5 years I loved his music. This love lasts40 years. Absolutely great composer ever in history of music - my number One :) exequo with Chopin.
I feel the same way! Vangelis is my favorite composer ever at the same level with my other 2 favorite ones Chopin and Rachmaninoff. Some time ago i tried to play a Chopin Nocturne with the classic Cs80- Rhodes Vangelis combo ruclips.net/video/rSEGKNg6rBA/видео.html
Great interview to this music genius and his understanding about sounds and music in relationship to the entire life and universe. I was interested in astronomy since young age and I made my 1st. two reflector mirror telescopes (500X) when I was 17 years old with the help of another astronomer, by polishing the lenses with carborundum, Foucault tests, etc. Also, I recall listening to Vangelis' music for the 1st time in my life back in Argentina on the 70's, as a background of the Cosmos series by Carl Sagan. Since then, I always follow his music.
Well for one, we shouldnt have earth day once a year, but once a week. To have Earthday similar to Sunday. Sunday/Earthday could be both. Sun/God/Earth
Interview with the Master, i'm in of course... When the wise man talk, the whole planet listen, Long live to the Greek.
Big fan of your channel!
i guess I'm pretty randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to watch new tv shows online?
@Armando Landry lately I have been using flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Armando Landry i would suggest FlixZone. Just google for it =)
Thank you, Vangelis is for me the greatest artist of our present times. The man who reforges what is broken.

A philosopher through music
*R.I.P. VANGELIS, May 17th, 2022. A sad day indeed.* 💀 💐 🎹 🌹🎵
Seemed like a good time to ask Vangelis about Juno to Jupiter considering the conversation.

Thank you for making this happen. And thank you to Vangelis for connecting us so deeply with the Cosmos :)
RIP Vangelis 🥀
That was a wonderful - it’s great to see him again and in such good spirits.
He says something interesting on this:
Vision, we see roughly where we look. But sound, we get a mix of sounds that come from everywhere around. So with great quality sound can get an "image" which gives so much info.
It s a shame Vangelis is not full screen when he speaks
I'm glad I found this video here! I love Vangelis music & our planet Earth!! :-)
Gracias por tan extensa charla con el Maestro Vangelis.
long live and prosperity mr evangelos.

This is top notch stuff, thanks for the interviewers for letting him really talk it through :)
Must of been 1981 +/- I bought Vangelis "To The Unknown Man" and "Albedo 0.39".
I love this interview! So inspiring!!!!

Some captions for those with hearing difficulties would be very appreciated ...
will this be available for later viewing?
Yep - it'll remain permanently online here, along with all the other episodes of Uplink.

Because Vangelis is a Greek God.
At least one of them can pronounce his name correctly!
which is the correct pronounce?
@@carolina-qp3cu Hard G, as in ‘gun’, not a soft G that sounds like a J.
ok👍in my country we said"Vàngelis"with a hard "g" and accent in the "a".
Note that as soon as the one on the left began pronouncing it correctly, the other fellow followed suit. 🙂
