Notably, the Yamaha CS-80, Roland Jupiter-4, and Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 significantly shaped his distinctive sound. The Yamaha CS-80, which Vangelis described as "the most important synthesizer in my career," became a central element of his music. At Nemo Studio, Vangelis merged technology and emotion, utilizing synthesizers to create innovative soundscapes. His approach was characterized by improvisation and a desire to extend beyond the capabilities of a traditional orchestra. This creative environment enabled him to compose music that remains influential in the realm of electronic music to this day.
Update: Sadly, Vagngelis passed away on May 22, 2022 at the age of 79. RIP.
