Rodrigo VS Vangelis
mik300z has posted a sort of cheesetacular YouTube video, his version of Rodrigo’s guitar concerto, played Vangelis style! The video is pure synth porn.
Here’s a live video of him doing one of his originals, Far Away Cafe:
Here’s what he has to say about the track:
I’m using the Korg X5’s choir , Microkorg some [...]
This video is a short feature about Vangelis and his score for Alexander:
Neodrone - Extended Horizon
Extended Horizon is the debut release by Neodrone, a trio that makes music combining elements of electronica and classical music.
Neodrone is Magnus Tak, the composer/producer; Johanna E Martell, vocalist; and Brent Swarthout, lyricist. The three make music with a neoclassical symphonic electronica feel. Martell is classically trained and brings an operatic style to her [...]
Belgian composer and synthesist Frank Van Bogaert’s latest CD, One Out of Five, is a greatest hits collection that brings together tracks from his five previous CDs, Colours (1998), Geographic (1999), Docking (2000), Human (2002) and Closer (2004).
Bogaert’s music is in the symphonic electronica tradition of synth artists like Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre and Deep Forest. [...]
Van and Borner - Miracles
This CD arrived in an unimpressive package - a hand-labeled CDR in a blank CD case and a floppy disk with the cover art on it.
The music, though, was a welcome surprise. Van and Borner is a duo of electronic musicians out of Poland. The band, made up of Barbara Zielinska Van & Sabina Borner, [...]

Brian Eno
Brian Eno has been successful in many fields. As a visual artist, his work has been displayed around the world. As a musician and composer, he created some of the most innovative pop songs of the seventies, and helped define a new style of music, ambient. Finally, it would be difficult to escape his work [...]
Symphonic Electronica
This style grows out of the tradition of classical orchestral music and features synthesized orchestration. It often features melodies and harmonies that are neo-romantic in style.
The best orchestral electronica uses electronics as an important element in a wider palette of instruments, to create new types of orchestration that would be impossible using traditional instruments. It [...]
Vangelis - Chariots of Fire
When Chariots of Fire was released in 1981, it came with a unique soundtrack by Vangelis. At that time, putting a soundtrack of electronic music on a period film was unheard of. The music worked, though, because of the simple, beautiful melodies and the way Vangelis used synthesizers in an orchestral way.
Chariots of Fire captures [...]
Vangelis - Direct
This 1988 Vangelis CD is a bridge between the symphonic electronica sound that Vangelis made popular in the eighties and his current, more dense orchestral sound. Direct is a mixture of electronica, new age, space music, and folk sounds, mixed together in Vangelis’ unique way.
The CD starts of with “The Motion of Stars”, a symphonic [...]
