It's about the rulers and politicians who all pretend about our rights and never care.

Due to the revolutionary situation in Iran especially in "Sistan & Balouchestan" all proceed from this track go directly to help them

May all the bravery, sacrifice and patience bring freedom and peace

From the Enigma Variations this part called Nimrod.
It has an enormous dynamic range. For me the challenge to keep it in control with 72 instruments!
Again a challenge to make it sound a real orchestra with my VST"s.
I use Logic X, Altiverb, Audiomodelling, Project Sam, Cinematic Strings, Kawai keys.

Under the soft glow of the crescent moon, a shadow moves with silent precision. Guided by justice and marked by their crescent emblem, their legend blurs between hero and outlaw.

Kryshe - Come

Thessaloniki-based composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Manos Milonakis debuts on piano and coffee records with "The Seagull", a synopsis of his original score for Russian dramatist Anton Chekhov’s play of the same name, directed by Yiannis Paraskevopoulos for theatres of Greece and Romania.

The first musical lines of this project were drawn while in Romania, where together with the director, Milonakis travelled to prepare a show for Craiova’s National Theatre. The post-communist atmosphere, the humid streets, the sense of modern balkan darkness contrasting with incredibly vivid painted walls, strong flavors, smells, and amazingly passionate and friendly people would be decoded into music for the classic Russian play. The thirteen tracks in "The Seagull" blend melancholic piano melodies, soaring strings, gentle electronics, atmospheric haze, and evocative soundscapes. Sometimes discreet and others at the forefront of a strong narrative, each piece pours itself into the other like communicating vessels, coexisting with romantic encounters, philosophical arguments, family quarrels and a series of unanticipated arrivals and departures. Piece by piece, Milonakis masterfully introduces us into a world of frustrated lives and unrequited love.

Even though "The Seagull" was composed in 2015, a year before his previous release, "Festen", it took Milonakis significantly more time to decide it was the right moment to release it. “During these years and working in-between other projects”, he says, “I sometimes looked back in my hardrives and these recordings always resonated inside my heart. Having performed the music extensively in concerts was also revealing an urge to me: that I should probably share this stuff with the world”. This brought him to Denmark, where he had the pleasure to have some piano re-recorded and the full album freshly re-mixed by Ed Carlsen at his studio in Kongens Lyngby.

"The Seagull" releases on 13 March 2020 via piano and coffee records worldwide, and is available on limited edition CD and digital formats, with artwork by London-based illustrator Jordan Amy Lee.

For Radio Nova (Fr), HØJDE composed, recorded, and clipped a track in Lockdown. It illustrates the apprehension of this period, through moments of doubts, creation, impatience, troubles, pleasures. It's called 𝗟 '𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻, or how intimacy can become captivating.

L'autre Main #pianoday2021

Specialized in working on projects with real orchestras, I have more than 20 years of experience.

I have worked on film scores for many international productions, including the Golden Globe 2024 nominee Suzume, Star Wars Visions, Save Angel Hope, Tell, A War Within, and Liebling, lass uns scheiden. I co-composed the multi-award-winning musical Dällebach Kari, (co-)arranged the hit shows The One and Vivid at Friedrichstadt-Palast Berlin, and worked on highly successful game music scores such as Batman – Arkham Shadow, Lineage W, Anno 1404, Black Prophecy, and Halo Legends. My scores for Hero and A Father’s Job have won several awards around the world.

Besides my work in media, I also write music for several international artists, including Anastacia, Gary Barlow, Ronan Keating, Bonnie Tyler, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Sarah Connor, the London Symphony Orchestra, and others. I won a Golden Record for my arrangements for Alex Christensen.

I hold a diploma in composition, arrangement, and piano from the music university in Dresden, Germany.
