@sachiko-musashi: Thanks Sachiko! My Japanese isn't very good unfortunately (non existent!) and I wouldn't trust Google translate! :)

Vegetative State

The Texture of the Abyss

This track evolved from a first patch created on Arturia's CS80V, (the main sequence). From there I filled it out with the signature VP330 strings and choirs and some further CS80 horn calls and it took on a bit of "Blade Runner" feel.
I do love this Vangelis sound palette! As a fan its a joy to get lost in :)

Hades

Another track I made for moving image. This was for an animation based on the Greek myth of Theseus & the Minotaur. I wanted to try and capture that intense symphonic sound of Vangelis, the drama and the action.

Labrynth

In terms of capturing a Vangelis sound, I'm really happy with this one. Again as a fan of this sound it was a joy to make, and its nice to listen to these textures, and feel the mood. Very definitely "Blade Runner" inspired, again following a jazzy vibe like "Blade Runner" blues.
The Syd Mead artwork also evokes that rich textured world that Ridley Scott so successfully created.

Sidewalk Diner

Around 1985 Vangelis released the album Soil Festivities, which alongside Blade Runner probably ranks as one of my all time favourite Vangelis albums. I think this particular sound palette is what I wanted to capture with this track. An evolving symphonic piece that reflects the movements of nature.

Endless Branches

Another "Blade Runner" inspired piece. 
Bradbury building, dark, dank, puddles, roving spotlights, Roy Batty emerging from lift...

Search Lights

Another track created specifically for the "Extrospection" group. This was for October 2014. 
The track is a moody take on the picture, uses a sampled Guitar instrument playing notes in the "Sakura" scale to give that eastern connotation. Layers of VP330 strings and CS80 horns provide some signature Vangelis type textures.

Sakura

Original electronic music inspired by the sounds originating between circa 1972/ '82.
I mostly make music now by improvising it live, you can find a lot more of my work on YT.
