about

"...a sophisticated electro-acoustic mixture of immersive ambient, minimalism and jazz…”
Jan Hocek - jazzport.cz

“…Another side of a musical chameleon, who always creates with the boom of his aesthetics high in whatever he tackles.”
Manthos Yiourtzoglou - keepjazin.gr

“The piano and electronica weave an ambient space... inviting the listener to a world of deep meditation.”
Kazune Hayata - Jazz Life (Japan)

Pianist, composer and multi-instrumentalist Vagelis Stefanopoulos stands out for his musicality and aesthetics, as well as his ability to navigate through many different styles and genres. In his own words, “An original and honest creation isn’t achieved by borrowing elements from whatever your influences are, but instead understanding the mechanisms of each composer or culture and applying them with taste. As far as aesthetics go, I try not to let my technical abilities or disabilities separate me from what feels easy, simple and to the point. Doing less and listening more is always a good place to start.”

Vagelis brings to his music the technique and tone gained from his study of classical piano, as well as his vast experience in musical genres from jazz and pop to world music and minimalist electronic music. Sounds from his synthesizer and digital sound manipulation dance together with the beautiful tone of the Fazioli grand piano and the electric guitar.

In sum, Meditations is a rare minimalistic statement from a virtuoso who aims not to impress but to delight, and maybe enlighten. The album’s aura is eloquently captured by Allan Watts’ quote inscribed on the CD inside cover: “Eyes see and ears hear as wind blows and water flows.”
