In a post on Twitter, Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis called Vangelis 'a pioneer of the electronic sound.' RIP

Chariots Of FireThe law firm representing the composer said he died late on Tuesday, without giving a cause of death.

Away from home, he was attracted by the then-new field of electronic synthesizers that allowed him to create the lush melodic colours that became his trademark sound.
