“Farewell (Vangelis)” is a closing door and the first open sky. Built like a slow ascent, it gathers weight: deep drums, strings that move like rising waves, a piano line navigating through an ocean of contrasts until the piece takes flight like a departure.
Its title carries multiple endings at once: a farewell to the tunnel, to old versions of “home,” to past lives, and to the identities that no longer fit.
It is also a quiet salute to Vangelis: while this music was being shaped, his passing arrived like a strange synchronicity, and the piece revealed a familiar taste… his influence became clear as work on the piece progressed.
Collaboration becomes the wind in the sails. Voices: guttural, wordless, layered into a reverberant wall of sound that turn into atmosphere and propulsion. Harmonium, with its wooden breath and incidental textures, brings the organic element back into the frame: beauty as something sought after and invested in, not engineered.
Farewell is not about resolution, but transcendence. A final chapter that doesn’t erase darkness or achieve perfection, but takes flight towards whatever comes next.
