Movie king Vangelis lifted the (piano) lid on his new album, Nocturne, on 25 January. The man behind a host of acclaimed film soundtracks has recorded a collection of soothing solo piano pieces, inspired by night-time and his long-held passion for space. “Music is science more than art, and it is the main code of the universe”, says the 75-year-old Greek. There are also brand new versions of his iconic themes from Chariots Of Fire and Blade Runner. The album artwork features photography of the moon and fans can create their own versions by uploading their lunar pictures to an innovative new website vangelisnocturne.com.
