Hello my wonderful fans and friends all over the world!

Lately, I've noticed that many of you have added some of my music samples to your MySpace pages! Some of you have also added me to your top friends list! I really appreciate that. Thank you from the bottoms of my heart for helping me spread the word about my music on MySpace.

It's because of the support of people like you that I've been able to continue developing this website and giving more music to people worldwide. As a thanks, some music competitions with free albums are on the way. You can read more in the Contests section of my website.

I love you!

I just wanted to give you a quick update on what is happening in my music land!

As you might know, I have been busy writing new material for my next album. I have just put the finishing touches to all tracks. The album title is "New Earth". It features ten new tracks of superb electronic instrumental music.

The album will be officially released on 9 September 2009 by Logos Music, the same label that released my previous album. I am very happy with the result and I am looking forward to hearing what you think.

In the meantime, I will be back in gig mode in mid September when I will be showcasing the new music compositions live.

Take good care of yourselves and stay tuned for further updates!

Hello to all my wonderful friends and fans around the world!

A lot of people have been asking me lately if there will be a new album. So I decided to shed some light on my upcoming second album.

I have already composed, orchestrated, and mixed 10 brand new pieces of electronic music and now I am in the mastering procedure. The music production is really impressive and the 16 page CD booklet is totally magnificent. The album title and the exact release date will be revealed soon.

A special thanks to all those precious people who have given €10 to buy my first album, thus giving me the funds I need to release my second album.

As far as my second album is concerned, I would like to promise you something. Get ready to experience electronic music like never before!

It is beautiful when radio producers love your music and play it on their radio programs!

This time I would like to publicly thank the Intermunicipal Radio of Pellas District for broadcasting my music. Intermunicipal Radio of Pellas District is a Greek radio station and it is located in Edessa, Greece. It broadcasts on the frequency of 103.8 FM in the District of Pellas and in Central Macedonia. On behalf of the radio station Mrs Katerina Athanasiou told me that Anthem Of Love and Elegy are their favorites, but they like all other music compositions as well.

Once again a big thank you to everyone at the Intermunicipal Radio of Pellas District 103.8 FM.

Hello to my loyal fans and friends worldwide!

I just wanted to send out a huge thank you to Highwire Daze magazine editor Kenneth Morton for reviewing my First Contact album. Highwire Daze Magazine is based out of Los Angeles, California, and goes out 12.000 issues throughout LA and OC.

Here's the full review:

"Checking out the world of electronic music as presented by Sakis Gouzonis is like traveling on a journey to the most wondrous and mystical of places. Based out of Greece, Gouzonis is an award-winning composer who has just released a debut collection of tunes entitled First Contact. The results are simply magical!

Definitely a world class act, tunes such as Anthem Of Love, A Star Brighter Than Others, and Give Me A Chance enchant the senses with their sheer vibrancy. Elegy is especially sweeping, sounding like a grand score to a big Hollywood epic. Influenced by film composers as well as by electronic musicians, Gouzonis has nevertheless developed his own signature style, which is utterly breathtaking.

With over 800 live performances to his credit and a collection of Grecian music awards, Sakis Gouzonis has a bright and glorious future ahead of him. First Contact is a stunning effort that is sure to greatly enrich all that encounter its harmonious musical tapestries".
