Celebrating Life, incl. myself on my Birthday, here is my contribution to this years Piano Day (29.March 2022 - https://www.pianoday.org/ ). I also want to express my gratitude to great artists like Ólafur Arnalds and Vincent Villuis (AES DANA), who by making their art available through sample libraries and VSTs to fellow composers, makes our creativity so much more easily unfolded.

Piano Day 2022

Gentle Spirit

My track for Piano Day 2022. With all that is going on in the world right now and all that has happened to everyone over the past two years I felt the need for a reflective and soothing piece of music. Floating, adrift in a sea of change. Calm, at piece, as one.

If you need a few moments of calm, I hope this helps.

Behind The Art of Music

The dimension of a dynamic acoustic perception, where art can be combined with electronic music and expressed effectively, pushed John Mig to launch his radio show "The Art of Music" in May 2009. The inspiration for the name came a few years ago when John observed the interaction between the two and the direct relationship that occurred. He found that the connection that arises is very emotional in many ways.

Connecting the pieces and telling a story that sets out every detail through the music best describes John's radio show. As someone who likes to experiment on a profound level, he always uses tracks that hide some mysterious structure. In a sense, he has often described that "The Art of Music" is not just a radio show but much more. He sees it as a mixed version of emotions evolving from various sounds that activate sensitive areas of life.

A colourful journey of synthetic sounds from Progressive House and Techno, with a melodic bridge in between, was the primary source he always used to embrace the moment's uniqueness. Applying this variety of sounds, he managed to create intensity. Thus, music choices follow elements that give the desired result by combining various forms of House & Techno that are sometimes Melodic, Ethereal and Progressive. If one genre best describes the sound of John's radio show that does not officially exist, it would be Progressive Techno.

The image used to support a particular episode is carefully designed based on a surreal art pattern reflecting the moment's mood. Everything has a shape, and therefore the way of expression depends solely on the different parameters that it requires at a time.

Over time, some international artists were invited to join John Mig's radio show, sharing their musical styles. The Art of Music is a two-hour radio show broadcasted by 1Mix Radio (EDM Channel) on the 4th Wednesday of each month at 21:00 UK.

Westchester Lady

This album is a collection, raw and spontaneous, and the fruit of 15 days of artistic residency in the beautiful setting of La Becque, La Tour de Peilz (CH), in partnership with Françoise Siegfried Meier Foundation and the Montreux Jazz Artist Foundation.

A setting in which I was able to express myself, on grand piano and essentially on prepared piano, with introspection and escape.


This logbook is intended to be raw, spontaneous and representative of the immersive moments I have experienced.
Some improvisations are therefore presented, such as the themes "Memories", "Serenity 1 and 2", "La Becque", or experiments ("overdrive", "rework")
The theme "Mrs. Siegfried Meier" is a tribute.

Memories is also composed for PianoDay 2019.

Love is a Hurtin' Thing

How Can You Say It

The connection between different frequencies and the emotional euphoria released at different levels, along with his creative side, was ostensibly the driving force for John Mig to engage in electronic music from a very young age. In this way, he interpreted this feeling exceptionally and described it every moment through sounds. His ability to transcend often, even himself, characterizes him and brings him one step ahead. It is always unpredictable, as John Mig manages to create tension based on the different emotions and moments his music contains, thus combining many different scales and colours.

Going back in time, John Mig's influences on electronic music began at the age of just 10, where he had the opportunity to experience something unique. Born in Greece, John at that time lived in Athens. His family was not related to music, but he was deeply attached and inspired by the events taking place daily on his apartment building's ground floor. His apartment was within a big old factory in Athens, Greece, which transposed into the popular and world-famous club "Ergostasio". When the night club was operating, John often listened to music, and he couldn't sleep. The music was travelling into his apartment, which played a significant role in his overall music life.

At that period, his father was working in Ergostasio Club. After many of John's requests, his father agreed to take him there every Saturday to watch numerous DJs' live performances while they were mixing. At the age of 11, he had experienced the whole atmosphere of a night club and started to understand more of the craft of being a DJ, which then became a part of his life without realizing it.
Following his passion, he soon started playing in clubs and parties in Athens and the Greek islands but did not stop there. His experimentation with different musical genres brought him closer to unfolding all of his musical love, ending up in a combination of Progressive, House and Techno.
 
A few years later, John moved to London to study music production, following his desire to create his sound. In addition to his sensitivity to dare and experiment, he wanted to create a story that connects people and unfolds under a mixture of different electronic sounds. That was the main reason that led him to start his radio show "The Art of Music" in May 2009. One of the main ingredients he is always looking for is a mixture of melodic and more mystical sound. It suddenly turns into more aggressive but dynamic simultaneously, thus giving the impression of an uncontrollable environment. He describes it as the light that fights the darkness. The result of this combination creates another musical genre. John Mig calls it "Progressive Techno" sometimes melodic and sometimes spicy.

John's relationship with the crowd is electric and engaging as he has appeared live in various venues in London, such as the Ministry of Sound, the Supperclub and the EGG London. One of his career highlights was at John's gig with Sander Kleinenberg, captured at the Ministry of Sound world tour in Ayia Napa.

His intention to explore and share the music of some of the most talented artists enable him in 2017 to give life to his idea by turning his radio show "The Art of Music" into a live event, which he called "The Art of Music in concert ". The overall overview of this new project is a combination of delivering a spectacular performance with different visuals, dressed in an electronic music umbrella using genres such as Progressive House and Melodic Techno. The events took place at EGG London with special guests.
