Vangelis was always immersing himself in work that could feel sentimental to some, but to others felt intensely cathartic, confronting and expressing raw, tangible sensations.

I like to immerse myself in all the sounds,
all the possibilities, all the universes.

Each planet sings. We don't hear it, of course, because it's a vacuum. But when we capture things like that, it's stunning. And it transports you to things that you don't believe — and at the same time, you know. These are implanted as well, because we're coming from there.

I don't give interviews, because I have to try to say things that I don't need to say. The only thing I need to do is just to make music — and that's it.

It's important to understand that, for me, making music is a process that is as natural and instinctive as taking a breath.
