Five Minutes Alone is a project based in Thessaloniki, Central Macedonia, Greece. This is the land of memories & emotion, dreamy ambient soundscapes, orchestral surroundings & experimental structures, soaked with neo-classical raindrops & tender noises.

Taking off with Transmission One . . . 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . . ().......

Thank you so much Loose :) As said this before, i bow before you guys. The inspiration from the music that you people make, and support that I've received from each one of you is supernatural. The wonderful people of FSOLboard is the actual reason that this music is out, if it hadnt been for Ross at that time, some of this music or the Five Minutes Alone project might not have existed.

It's real good man - I haven't got round to the full mix by the other guys yet so this is a good introduction to the whole set. I forgot how lovely that Murcof track was.

Thank you Pete. There were 2 more tracks I had chosen for the mix from some of my favorite artists who have influenced me, but there was no more space, so they will be included in the following mix.

About Murcof now, what can I say, Ive been influenced to the bones by this man's music, Murcof for me is . . . cosmos

Since I finally started my musical project, debuting off with the Terminals and previewing some of my works, something that happened unexpectedly for me after waiting 33 years for the project to take shape and for the Terminal event to take place, I hope it won't take me a lifetime again to start working/re-working on my "Soundtrack For An Imaginary Film" album.

As a token of appreciation to FSOLboard, and everybody who helped me with their support and opportunity to appear on first three Terminal Radio transmissions, and thus launching off my "Five Minutes Alone" project, i would like to thank you all and share a personal photo. This is me (my old me that is, leaving long hair and shaved, now im just a head with a beard) on the left and my mate MbLWb (on the right) who kindly submitted his track Yunic for my TR2 transmission, on cloud nine at 2009 FSOL live via ISDN in Athens. The happiest day of my entire life, as I was living this unbelievable dream of mine that had come true, and at the same time one of the hardest days, to realize what I am and why I exist, the day "Five Minutes Alone" came to life.

Thank you so much bro, I gave all my soul into this, Im really proud to be part of this incredible group of artists and people. Everyone who believed in me and supported me with various ways over these last years are in my heart and are the reason I didnt give up on these sounds. It seems my music has caught the attention of somebody involved in a major ambient record label and this morning I got a proposition from him, this really blew my mind as I could never expect such a thing to happen from this very label. I cant say that Im excited as nothing is certain, but even if it doesnt happen im really glad that my efforts are appreciated and respected. The only thing that Im glad about is that Im back working on my sounds, more focused and determined as never before, and the only thing that I keep to myself is that it is worth working hard to give life to the music that lives inside me. Thank you once again man, it means a lot to me.

Five Minutes Alone - Garden Of Static Decay

Normally I would not be posting this, but this time Im going to make an exception, as unlike my previous contributions for Terminal Radio, this is more than a mix for me but a cohesive mini-soundtrack comprised entirely by my works. Given the fact that I havent released my music so far, this is my first ever attempt to place my works in order under one conept, a sort of unofficial release mixed exclusively for Terminal Radio.

This is the 5th minute, featuring unreleased works from the recent past, present and hopefully the future. Garden Of Static Decay explores the realms of experimental electronica, from soothing ambient environments to gloomy orchestrals and mellow modern classical surroundings, from natural and synthetic noise to melancholic voices, from field recordings to abstract instrumentals, passing through dark territory and entering into valleys of sonic emotion. It travels through the birth, the blossoming and the decay, through the shadow and through the light . . . dedicated in the memory of my beloved grandma Sarah...

Wow.I'm listening now and its not even finished yet but I just need to say that this is amazing.Obviously it needs to be mastered - the sound is crackly in places but this is truly amazing.You should send this off to Brian and Gaz.Im listening to this and I need to keep reminding myself that this isnt FSOL.Seamless! If you need some cover art doing then I'll be happy to do it.Nice one.

First time listening to this... really good. And I'm not saying this just to big a fellow FSOList up. This really is good. I hope you get some type of an official album out with proper mastering, art etc. A lot of talented artists on this board for sure, sadly it takes a HUGE effort to get people listening, but fortunately I'm seeing ambient gaining a lot of popularity recently.

This has some really good transitions and variety all over. Two thumbs up.

EDIT: scratch that, with further listening, I'll say that this is not good... this is excellent! Totally release ready/worthy stuff. Not a single bad track. 8-)
