A fun project: Instrumental version of pop hit "Human" by Rag'n'Bone Man with a Mediterranean vibe. Arranged, Performed and Produced by © Vasilis Ginos @Gallery Studio, Athens Greece.
A Greece-based musician, vasilis ginos was born in Athens in the '60s. He started off playing keyboards in bands, most of which he co-founded. His influences were the big rock groups of the era, his (non-formal but nonetheless) classical training and a late infatuation with jazz. After his Law Degree from Athens University he worked as a session musician and later an arranger and musical director for the local music scene.
An early adopter of music technology (computers and synthesizers) - even worked for Roland as a product specialist for a while - he put his skills in good use, live and in the studio. The result were many platinum-selling CDs and series of successful concerts and live performances all over Greece, backing or arranging for every major artist of his country. While at it, he developed a deep understanding and knowledge of the local repertoire and folk music of the Balkan Peninsula and the Mediterranean Basin. He pioneered the fusion of these world idioms with international pop/rock music and modern production techniques, producing major local mainstream hits for the last two decades.
Keeping busy in this line of work, he released the 3-act ambigua project, a modern paradigm of 20th-century classical music. Inspired by the great composers of that era, ambigua is an interpretation of selected pieces using synthesizers. Electron Stories with Cats (an electronic suite in nine parts, composed, arranged and produced by vasilis) was released in October, 2015. His latest album is “A Traveller's Piano Guide”, a coffee-table instrumental songbook.
Since fall, 2017 he is teaching classes in Art Music School, Athens. From 2021 to 2023 he served as vice-president for the Panhellenic Musician's Union.
