Triantafillidis, the guitarist of the
"Salveo" band. The voice was recorded at the

and love. The wonderful Italian voice belongs to

"Wild time" is a
darkwave/industrial style song which talks about the time's implacability on
human's life. When I first red the lyrics written by
Ionas, I wanted to pass the strange feeling
which was generated to my mind with music which could support this great text.
Original text in Greek language is available
here. The song is available on the
Music/Songs/Greek songs page.

"Ashes" is
an "old fashioned" blues style song which brings in mind the retro sense of 20th century's

Vagia Papapostolou.

"Agnus Dei" is a
Latin phrase, used in several classical parts and "masses" (sacred choral
parts) and its meaning is "Lamb of God". This phrase refers to the relationship
between human ("lamb") and his leader ("shepherd"), God. Although "Agnus Dei:
Prepare yourself" is a trance song, I tried to express the mystical sense of its
title, expanding its meaning with the thought that we should be always prepared
for the next stage, whatever that is. This song was created in 2008 and after a
major improvement to its melody and production, is available again on
the
Music/Songs/Electronic/Trance-Club page.
Prepare yourself :)

Listening to
older songs, I always find something that could be corrected. How would it be if
we could do the same in our life? Even better, if there was an "undo" button to
change some of our past decisions? But, unfortunately or not, the "undo" button
exists only in the digital world... So, don't look back, grab the opportunity to
learn from mistakes and keep flying!.. New versions of
"Celtic dream"
and "Sarabande"
are available on the
Music/Songs/Miscellaneous page. Both tracks have been
improved on their music and mastering production.
2011/April/02:
"Grab the light"
is a hip-hop Greek song. I am thankful to
Vagia Papapostolou for the great
lyrics. You can find this song on
the
Music/Songs/Greek songs page.
2011/March/27:
New video of "Sarabande"
has been uploaded.
George
Frideric Handel (1685-1759) was a great German composer, known for
his operas, concertos and oratorios (church music). One of his most famous
compositions is "Sarabande in D Minor". "Sarabande" means "slow dance". This is my first effort to make a remake on a
classical part, using both ambient and chillout styles. You
can find this song on the Music/Songs/Miscellaneous page. The video is available
here.

The seven deadly
sins instituted by Pope Gregory in the 7th century while the Church was single
and indivisible, as the schism between East and West occurred in 1054. According
to Pope Gregory, the seven deadly sins are: Lust, wrath, gluttony, greed, envy,
sloth and pride.In 2008 the Vatican by a circular signed by the current Pope Benedict XVI renewed the list and added seven new deadly sins, which are: the human genome surgery, drugs, environmental pollution, social and economic injustice, shameless wealth accumulation, pedophilia and abortion.
"The eighth sin" is an electronic song with German vocals. I am thankful to all partners for their great help: Ionas for the lyrics, Emmanuel Fidopoulos for the German translation and the vocals, Eduard Haumahu, the photographer who allowed me to use his wonderful photo for the slim CD cover and Anneliese Van Buren, the model of this photo. "The eighth sin" is available on the Music/Songs/Electronic/Trance-Club page.
2011/March/11:
"Dreaming of you" is an orchestral part with piano and expressive
highland pipes. My inspiration was based on the sense of some dreams;
they are so wonderful that you could wish to last for ever... You can
listen to or download it on
Music/Songs/Soundtrack/Orchestral
page.
2011/February/19:
"e-world" means "electronic world". This album is a wavering trip between the
world created by man and the world created by nature. It is a trip from the
human madness (expressed with "Psychodrama") to the natural calmness (expressed
with "Ocean trip"). On the other side, e-world -with the help of technology- allows us to admire the beauty of the real world ("Moon flight" and "Beyond
earth"). This alternation of music senses, does not give a specific answer to
the question "living in an e-world is better than living in a real world?" but
motivates the listener to give his own answer... The main music style of "e-world"
album is electronic/ambient, however, you can notice gothic and progressive rock
influences in "Labyrinth" and "Psychodrama" songs. The saxophone in "Moon flight"
and "Beyond earth" tracks is played by
Dmitriy Samoylenko.***

"Woman" is one of my first vocal songs, created in February 2009. Now, almost
two years later, is available with better mixing and mastering production;
and the most important: With the great voice of Vagia Papapostolou;
I was searching for such a voice for a long time and finally I found it :) I want to thank
JB-Anastasia for the lyrics,
Vagia Papapostolou for the vocals,
Fenia
Labropoulou for allowing me to use her marvelous photo in the
CD cover and
