Fearless (goodbye Vangelis)

[@manparrishstories]

I was quite lucky to spend two weeks many years ago with Vangellis at his home in the south of Athens. He was one of the kindest, most wonderful people that I’ve ever met in my life. We spent hours with friends, talking late into the evening, and he did several “homestyle“ impromptu concerts, sitting at his keyboard in his living room. It is a time, I will never, never, never forget. Sorely missed and much love!

[@mik300z]

Oh really? That sounds amazing, I can only imagine he had an aura of beauty and warmness to other people. Thankyou for your words x

[@edwin3928ohd]

How in the world did you get to do that?

[@avatarinum]

Did he ever have a protégé?

[@manparrishstories]

@@avatarinum hi… Yes, Vangellis actually did have protégé, but not in the way that you think. He often had classical students in Greece come by and transcribe, and orchestrate his music for preservation. When I spent two weeks there, he often had local musicians come in, have dinner, and after dinner, they would all sort of “jam“. I remember a singer being there who sang opera, a harp player, etc. He was very supportive of the local music community

[@manparrishstories]

@@edwin3928ohd he was looking for a possible recording, engineer replacement. My friend worked with him, he was aware of my music, so in amazing twist of fate we were invited to come over to Greece for two weeks. I will never, never forget it!

[@Mehdi.Ouassou]

Since Vangelis death, it's your role to be the carrier of Vangelis spirit. Make us dream again !

[@snikeplassken]

“When the student surpasses the teacher, the teacher became immortal”. Amazing work fearless Mike!

[@theuncle321]

Feeling a bit sad that the immortal Kirios Vaggelis cannot listen to this one any more. I'm currently sitting on Crete - the White Mountains backwards over here and the coast and seaside pretty much in front of me. I took a stroll down to the sea in the morning. The soundtrack of Vaggelis will always accompany us. Cheers to Mick who is one of the greatest interprets, translators, guys who just feel the vibe of the master. Big thanks going out from over here. Dietmar from Germany (bought myself a little house over here btw. cause the soundtrack of Vaggeli never ever left me alone). Come over here and join me having a sip of wine !

[@rousygetmey5617]

Пишите, вдохновляйтесь новизной звучания Музыки. Это фантастически прекрасно.

[@TheSoulsjourney]

😢dear Mik, you played a worthy anthem for Vangelis. I will never forget you. THANK YOU for such a nice farewell. Class. you are the best there is. THANK YOU.😭 dear Vangelis, you have accompanied me on my way for more than 40 years. Your music, it was always good for me, helped me to get over difficult situations. It is a very great loss that you had to go. The world has lost a musician. Rest in peace.🙏

[@mik300z]

You are more than welcome, thankyou 😊

[@TheSoulsjourney]

@@mik300z I've been a loyal fan of your site for years. I often thought about what if Vangelis dies. Does he pay homage to him? Yes you have. Thank You .

[@Fixmix78]

Tasteful, dignified, beautiful homage! Congratulations. Proof that Vangelis' spirit lives on! Thank you!

[@areks.6101]

What can I say...I'm speechless. Your approach to synths and how to utilize them, is very inspiring. Long live the spirit of Vangelis.

[@jorgobitsis7179]

We miss Vangeli alot. He was more then unique. Humanity gets such artists maybe every 200-300 years. Don’t get me wrong, there are very fine musicians out there. He carried the Greek spirit with his soul, philosophy, science, art ,all embedded within the greatest power…love. Such a privilege that we lived in the same time-space. Fearless is amazing, no words how good you bring Vangeli’s music in your own way. Be unique Michael….

[@albertsteenbergen3375]

Wow, you brought up so many emotions with this beautiful track. I bet The Maestro is looking down from Heaven to this performance and smiles.

[@srmedias]

beautiful tribute to Vangelis

[@mr.aerial1885]

Mick excellent tribute to the king of synths. Never to be forgotten. An influence to all of us. He was a genius.

[@francotonini6446]

Om 🙏🎉🎹🎉🙏

[@NicklasIngels]

You got that majestic sound that V created and I can hear everything from small bits of Blade Runner to Chariots Of Fire in your song. It's good to have you back in these times of eterrnal doom hanging over us

[@mik300z]

Hey thankyou, you are the first person to say that- it is actually a blend of chariorts and BR.. well done sir😊

[@NicklasIngels]

@@mik300z No, well done to you and keep us filled up with that majestic V sound that Vangelis used to create. What you just created proves that you has his spirit, the same musical talent and can keep his musical legacy alive and flowing. I feel that this is some sort of a burden since you cannot create music on order but I think you are one the same frequency as Vangelis in some level

[@avatarinum]

When Vangelis passed away, my heart was broken. This piece is a perfect requiem to Vangelis' musical influence. Thank you for this!

[@andrewgarner734]

If someone had played that to me without me seeing the video I would have thoughtbit was the maestro himself ,amazing work!

[@rontyros5894]

This is beautiful. completely in the atmosphere of Vangelis. I'm sure Vangelis is listening with pride up there. ;-)

[@NathanEllery]

He's trying to remember which of his albums this one was on.

[@mik300z]

I think he may have been in the room with me here at times😊 Thankyou.

[@random007nadir]

A tragic loss, but what a legacy. You've absolutely perfected the sounds he used in the 80s, which is doubly impressive as it looks like you've managed this using different synthesisers to those he had.

[@mik300z]

Thankyou😊

[@lundsweden]

The only synth that is similar is the VC340, a clone of the VP330 that Vangelis used.

[@lundsweden]

Wow, sounds like Vangelis, you've nailed this tribute 100%

[@marcelbossaert]

It has been a while, but this is stunning proof that you haven't lost the touch. Looking forward to that soundtrack album already. Congrats on this amazing opportunity!

[@hugodbtx2012]

Mik300z you are truly the gift all of us have that ensures we still get to hear Vangelis a little bit longer. He can never be replaced but you come damn close sir. Absolute respect.

[@justinb9387]

if vangelis had heard this ... he would have given you a medal ! top work

[@matsadona]

The for... hm... spirit of Vangelis is strong with this one :)

[@billyruss]

You've caught the spirit of Vangelis there 🙂 Great work.

[@bahmangoshayeshi478]

Beautiful. gives a similar feeling to Vangelis's music.

[@Chuttanooga]

A beautiful composition which reminds by the very first bars on the great master of overture, Vangelis Papathanassiou. Very well done.

yes, you did it totally in this piece. Thank you

[@WISAM_MAHMOUD]

You honored this genius in a decent way... I felt through your music that Vangelis did not leave us, but rather he is in another dimension looking at us happily.. Perhaps through musical revelation we can understand what he wants to say... Thank you with all my heart for this fulfillment

[@mik300z]

I hope I did...and thankyou for the kind words, and I agree with you. Vangelis spoke so many times of how powerful a force music is within all of us, we just need to open the channel .
