My wallpaper “Joy Of Life” is featured in Smashing Magazine’s Wallpaper Collection for February.
“…I get most Joy in life out of Music.” This famous quote from Albert Einstein together with the firsts notes of Handel’s Recorder Sonata in G minor, inspired me to create this wallpaper. I am willing to create a series of wallpapers about the Joy of Music. We’ll see!”
To create this wallpaper, I used my son’s toy figure and an old recorder placed on my office (which I turned it to a small studio for this photo-shoot).

Bellow you can listen to Damijan Mocnik’s “Verbum Supernum Prodiens” performed by Vocal Inventions directed by Olga Alexopoulou. Vocal Inventions is a vocal ensemble at Athens, Greece that I am a proud member of.
It was recorder live at Michael Cacoyannis Foundation during the Christmas concert we gave at 20 December 2012.
Merry Christmas with this new piece I wrote for Christmas. I started composing it last year but I didn’t manage to finish it on time. So this year It was easy for me since more than half of the composition was ready.
The painting is “Christmas Eve” (1959) by Guy C. Wiggins. The references – influences for this composition are Tchaikovsky’s “Russian Dance – Trepak” from Nutcracker and John Williams “Holiday flight” from Home Alone (I believe that John Williams also used Tchaikovsky’s Trepak as reference!)
I wish you happy holidays with a Christmas song I composed in 2002. I edited the orchestration and recorded it again. It’s fun to revisit things you did ten years ago!
I would like to thank Nancy Cote for letting me use her beautiful painting in this video. It is called “Christmas Market in Germany”. You can view her inspiring work at http://nancycote.blogspot.com
I realized that there is not piano version of the popular soundtrack the Ennio Morricone composed for Giuseppe Tornatore’s “Malena“. The main theme called “Inchini Ipocriti E Disperazione”, was always one of my favorite Morricone ‘s themes. So, I decided to write down the arrangement I used to play in the piano.
