This 2017 album features Vangelis’s signature synthesized ambient soundscapes, originally conceived for an art installation. It marks a return to a more meditative, less overtly melodic style than some of his more famous works.

• The album was composed and performed entirely by Vangelis in his Nemo Studios.
• Soil Festivities was originally created as the score for a French documentary film about landscape and soil.
• The album was released on the Sony Classical label.

Vangelis was a Greek electronic composer and multi-instrumentalist, best known for his pioneering work in synthesized ambient soundscapes. He achieved worldwide fame for his film scores, particularly Blade Runner and Chariots of Fire.
