Goodbye to Vangelis
With the passing of Vangelis, I thought I'd share my two biggest exposures to his music.
I have a vague memory of attending a concert in the late 70s or 80s where this guy played in some kind of pyramid-shaped synthesizer ... probably Vangelis? At the Fox in Georgia? I can't remember any of the music, but I do remember thinking: I'd love to do something like that one day.
But I definitely remember the music that played through all thirteen episodes of Carl Sagan's COSMOS. You can enjoy this theme now ...
I also enjoyed the mood the music of Vangelis sets in the movie Blade Runner. It fits the noir atmosphere perfectly. First off, here is the opening sequence ...

Vangelis may be gone, but his music will last forever.
