On music: "Scientifically, believe it or not, music drives everything, because music equals universe and universe equals music". - Vangelis

On sound volume and arrangement: "No, high volume levels cause less harm than the awkward arrangement of sounds. Assuming that the sound is a wave: if this wave is not balanced by itself, it causes great damage when it enters the ear. I have tested this on a few people in my studio. I made them listen to two tracks. The first track was considered too loud, whereas the second track was actually louder but more balanced".

On happiness: "For me, it’s harmony resulting from the cosmic wave, not the happiness resulting from the social wave"

Vangelis has been writing and performing electronic music for three decades and suggests that it is perhaps the only genre - with the exception of "pure" classical music - that can comunicate universally.
