  2024 September 7: 13 years since its initial release, the song "Dreaming of you" has been updated with improved production. The word "dream" is the most used word in the titles of the songs I have created so far, and it is not a random choice, as dreams are the most frequent ingredient of the inspirations that contribute to their creation: "Daydream", "Dreaming of better days", "Dream keeper", "Celtic dream", "Neverending dream", "Dreamland", "Pandora's dream", "The secret book of dreams", "Silent dreams".

2024 April 20: Staying calm and seeking balance in life is sometimes misunderstood as weakness by others and even by ourselves. We often try to hold back, hesitating to take the next step. But what happens when we're fed up, and our inner emotions are about to explode like a volcano? We need to say "Shut the fuck up" to anything that deflates us and remind ourselves to reclaim our lost value, strength, and confidence. Let's turn up the volume and take control of our lives! Lyrics and vocals: Dia Yiannopoulou. Music and brutal voice: zero-project (yeah, that's me).


2024 February 3: Ethereal means extremely delicate and light, something that seems too perfect for this world. Interlude means a pause or a break in something, or a short piece of music or entertainment. So, a song about "Ethereal interlude" might be about a brief glimpse of peace and harmony that is hard to find and easy to lose, something that transcends the reality of this world. The song was released for the first time in 2008 and updated 16 years later (time goes by fast, right?).

2023 October 14: Manos Zachariou ("deep46blue") and his partners bring you The Blue JukeBox, a radio show that explores the world of music through interviews, and interesting stories. You can listen to it on Simple Radio. In the episode of 14 October 2023, zero-project introduces the new song "Pass me by" and shares a brief story behind it.


2023 October 7: "Pass me by" is more than just a song. It's a journey of feelings, healing, and encouragement to break free from someone who never valued you, as Athanasios Lafazanidis suggests with his lyrics. We hope you will feel every word and every note as Konstantina Tsirimona sings about the hurt and the hope of moving on. Listen to "Pass me by" and let it inspire you to live your best life.


2023 August 3: I wrote "Charm" as a way of honoring my beloved friend, Spyros, who left this world too soon on August 3rd, 2003.


2023 July 10: The semi-documentary on the impact of plastic overconsumption, "Omega report", was made by Athanasios Lafazanidis for the "Cinespace 2020" short film contest. It is now voiced in Greek by zero-project.


2023 July 1: With lyrics and video by Athanasios Lafazanidis, vocals by zero-project and Dia Yiannopoulou, and digital art by Nick Kontostavlakis, "Stuff" is a Greek anti-drug song that first came out on January 2nd, 2010. The song has since been updated twice with better production quality. The third and latest version is much improved compared to the previous ones, and we hope you enjoy it.

2022 October 1: The path is always there. All that's left is to find it.


2022 August 6: Once upon a time, in 2014 if I remember well, I discovered that the song "Gothic" had been used as a soundtrack in games made by users from the Roblox community. After researching and reading comments on YouTube, I also realized that these games were probably about zombies and similar beautiful things.

Searching more on YouTube, I discovered several versions of "Gothic" with significant differences in tempo from the original version, which I found quite interesting as inspiration. One of these versions, which was a slow-tempo one, inspired me to create the main pattern of the song "The call of the desert" from the album "Metamorphosis". "The call of the desert" was in fact the first track I made, so you can say that this slow-tempo version of "Gothic" was an influence for me to start making the album "Metamorphosis".

Much later, in 2021, I discovered a remix of "Gothic" entitled "Tower Defense Simulator OST". I was surprised when I heard this remix. It is a work that I strongly suggest you listen to (if you have not already done so). This remix was a production by Phoqus and I enjoyed it so much that it inspired me to do some experimentation with the classic version of "Gothic". As a result, instead of a remix version of the classic "Gothic", a brand new song was created, which retains the well-known piano pattern of the original version, but in a slower tempo this time.

"Gothic: Revenge of the undead" is here and I hope you enjoy it.

2022 May 14: "Do not disturb" has been released.


2022 March 12: In this difficult time and while there is an unjust war with people losing access to basic goods, and worst of all, losing their lives, it is not easy for me to create new music. On the other hand, if any kind of music is healing even for one person, I prefer this music to be available, rather than be hidden. "Dreaming of better days" started in January 2021 and after changes and corrections, was completed in January 2022. When I started making this song, I imagined a better future for humanity after the pandemic, but for now, I do not see it happening. Stay healthy and strong.


2022 February 19: A day without love is an invalid day. "Mera" is the latest single, a collaboration of Dia Yiannopoulou and zero-project. The single includes two versions of the song, a Greek vocal version and a downtempo version which is actually an instrumental song with ambient vocal elements.


2022 January 15: As you wait for the right moment, you realize that the right moment may have just passed. "The right time" is a Greek vocal song and is a collaboration of Dia Yiannopoulou and zero-project.


2021 November 20: When I started composing and publishing music at the end of 2007, I had a little dream: I wanted to create a music fairytale, a story that would evolve through music, which would have all the elements of an original fairytale: Fairies, knights, castles and a beautiful princess. In 2010 this dream became true. The album "Fairytale" starts with a remake of "Winter princess", one of my early works. The music trip continues with a moon waltz and a fairy dance, through a forest with unicorns and a forgotten castle. After a battle with knights of darkness, there is a king who returns home, giving his princess a message of love. Although "End of a story" is the ending song of the fairytale, it isn't the last one of the album, which ends with "Dreamland", the third remake of an older song. I am thankful to "The Copyright Group" for allowing me to use the poem "Vita Nuova" by Oscar Wilde in the song "Bless and glory". The poem was told by the actor Sean Barrett and recorded by Robert J. Nichol:

"I stood by the unvintageable sea
till the wet waves drenched face and hair with spray;
the long red fires of the dying day
burned in the west; the wind piped drearily;
and to the land the clamorous gulls did flee:
Alas! I cried, my life is full of pain,
and who can garner fruit or golden grain
from these waste fields which travail ceaselessly!
My nets gaped wide with many a break and flaw.
Nathless I threw them as my final cast
into the sea, and waited for the end.
When lo! a sudden glory! and I saw
the argent splendour of white limbs ascend,
and in that joy forgot my tortured past".

2021 August 7: You may know the 7 deadly sins. But have you ever wondered about the eighth one? "Die achte Sünde" is an electronic track with lyrics by Athanasios Lafazanidis, translated into German and sung by Emmanuel Fidopoulos. The vocals were recorded by Dimitris Papageorgiou. Special thanks to Eduard Haumahu for his wonderful photo on the front cover and Anneliese Van Buren, the model in the photo.
"Die achte Sünde" was released for the first time in 2011. Today, after a major update in production it is released along with the new version "Chrysiis". "Chrysiis" is a mythical person who appears in Homer's Iliad. During the Trojan War, Achilles brought Chrysiis, daughter of the Apollonian priest Chryses, to the camp of the Greeks. It was decided that she would be given as a war prize to Agamemnon in view of his kingly position. Agamemnon fell in love with Chrysiis and kept her as his wife, until her father took her back with the help of god Apollo.

2021 February 20: No matter how persistently we try to describe exactly how we feel, there will always be different shades of our emotions, such as shades of purple...


2021 February 6: "The rain song" is not just about rain. It refers to the lost connection between man and nature. It was first released in 2008, while its successor "The rain song 2", was released in 2013. From now on, both songs will be included in the same album, after their production has been improved.

2021 January 1: Happy New Year! I am sending you my wishes for a much better year than the previous one. 10 years ago, Google Ads (then known as Google AdWords) celebrated its 10th anniversary by sending a personalized video to every creator who had used the service. In this video, you can see the domain name "zero-project.gr" being created with mechanical bees, with a few million dominoes, even projected on the moon. You can watch this video on YouTube, while it is available for downloading from this link.


2020 December 19: Sometimes when we have a plan, the universe does not agree with us. The creation of "La luce che ti cambia" or "The light which changes you", started in 2013 and finished in 2020. From the moment we started it with my friend Haris Aronis until the end when Olga Balomenou's vocals were added, seven years passed. During that time, many things happened which determined not only the course of the song but also my own one. I would like to thank Anto Conti for her valuable help in translating the lyrics into Italian.

2019 May 12: Since the beginning, the license of the music I have been creating, was -and continues to be- friendly for every use. The "zero-project" licensing model is based on a fair use and built on an honest relation between users and artists. I believe that restrictions imprison the music. Music is like the clouds; it has to float freely everywhere. As the time passed, I found that some things that I considered self-evident about the proper use of free music, needed a little more documentation. So, it's time for an update of the terms of the license, keeping exactly the same licensing model, with which I started that musical journey 11 years ago.

2018 August 26: The Greek philosopher Heraclitus said "everything flows and nothing stands still". Ok. Time for an update. A big one.

Since 2011, the availability of the audio files is based on the following policy: All album downloads are available free of charge as Mp3s at 160 kbps and Oggs at 128 kbps. The albums with high-quality sound (Mp3s at 320 kbps, Flac and Wav) are available from music stores (Amazon, iTunes, Spotify etc.) as well as via payable options on this site. Most tracks (standalone songs) are available for free in high-quality sound on www.zero-project.gr.

In recent years there has been significant development of streaming services (iTunes, Spotify, Tidal - to name a few). Streaming is the best choice for anyone who wants to access all the music of this world in a portable way. Music can be heard anywhere, anytime, on any device. There are no limits, there are no searches for downloadable content, there are no conversions among different audio files.

According to this new form of music access, more "zero-project" music will be released on music stores. As a result, most of the music content (albums, singles and tracks) will be available on streaming services, on music stores as payable content and via this site in both payable and free options. The free Mp3s' bitrate is increasing from 160 to 224 kbps and the free Oggs' bitrate is increasing from 128 to 192 kbps.

As a big part of the music will be re-released, it is time for an update in production, too. After being in music production for 10 years, I decided to replace all the music content that do not meet the current quality standards with new one. It will take a long time, but, step by step, many of the old productions will be refreshed.

Note that this update does not affect the licensing policy. All music remains free under Creative Commons, just like before.

He ordered Hephaestus to mold from earth the first woman, a "beautiful evil," whose descendants would torment the human race. Pandora's deceitful feminine nature became the least of humanity's worries. For she brought with her a jar containing diseases and a myriad of other pains.
Prometheus had warned his brother Epimetheus not to accept any gifts from Zeus. But Epimetheus did not listen; he accepted Pandora and married her, fascinated by her beauty, who soon after that scattered the contents of her jar, except from one that was lying at the bottom: Hope. "Pandora's dream" is a work inspired by the myth of "Pandora's box". Instead of focusing on the main point of the myth, this work tries to discover the feelings as well as the dreams before and after the opening of the jar. The photo of the CD cover is a work by Masaki Hirokawa.

2013 December 7: The Andromeda galaxy was named from the Greek mythology and it is the closer spiral galaxy to ours. The distance between Earth and Andromeda is more than 2 million light years. (The "light year" is a measure of distance, not of time. The length of a light year is equal to 10 trillion kilometers, or 6 trillion miles). If we travel with a spacecraft with the speed of 17 kilometers or 10.5 miles per second (this is the speed of Voyager 1) and the galaxies were still, a trip from Earth to Andromeda would last 38 billion years. As the Andromeda galaxy is approaching "Milky Way" (our galaxy) with the speed of 110+ kilometers per second, both galaxies are expected to collide in about 3.75 to 4.5 billion years. As you see, the trip became already shorter. But no trip is shorter than imagination. The music track "Andromeda" is a virtual journey from Earth to Andromeda, in almost 4 minutes. Let the music guide you and admire wonderful spacescapes from all over the universe through artists' impressions. Most of the video parts used in the video of "Andromeda" are downloaded from ESA-Hubble. The photo of the front cover and the wallpapers are works by Robert Gendler.

It is a direct and simple message of love, free of conventional forms of religious expression, but it doesn't reduce the value of any religion as it has a wider significance. The selection of symbols on the cover and the video aims to complete this message: While the man who prays is waiting for a response from God, the legendary "Thunderbird" (the "bearer of happiness" according to the Native American tradition) rewards him by sending him wishes for eternal life (symbolized by the butterfly) and happiness (symbolized by the sun). I would like to thank Universo Ignoto for the permission he gave me to use his cloud videos in the official video of "The Great Spirit".

I was told what had happened and I realized that making music for such writing was a honor for me. This work is a prayer turned into a meditative sentimental song, sung by Dimitris Papageorgiou. The paragraph below is a quote by Utidanos:

"On June 7th 2011, in Gythio, Greece, my beloved companion came to the end of her life after a tragic and sudden loss of health. The great love of my life, the "butterfly" as she called herself, gave me so much and she still gives to me, like a miracle. She chose me as her co-star. I was by her side for the last three difficult months, trying to lighten her burden. Everything she shared with me and I experienced in the last act of her life - in our final journey together - was the opportunity for the "Prayer" to be written. It is dedicated to her beautiful and holy presence".

This work is available as vocal song as well as instrumental track. The main acoustic guitar of the instrumental version is played by Andreas Triantafillidis. I am thankful to Simos for allowing me to use his wonderful 3D graphics video for the official video.

2012 January 7: "Untold stories of a dying moon" is the latest album by zero-project which combines different styles of music. From ambient to darkwave and from piano music to electronic, it keeps a sense based on moonlight-filled piano melodies. From the sentimental "The secret passion" to the dramatic "Into the darkness" and from the nocturnal "Moonlight No. 1" to the passionate "Romance", this album is a music trip among the feelings, which appear from the darkness and fulfill with colors our existence. But the main question is: "Can you see the colors into the darkness?"... The weak light of the moon can help you find your own answer. Search into your own darkness and you may find your own colors, your own feelings, because the darkness is the veil of feelings and colors. Feelings we have felt, or feelings which are waiting for us to feel them. If you want to read the story behind this album, you can visit the interview page. The song "Appassionata" was based on a poem by Lilian Bourani:

"Old figure
which no longer fits
into this night.
Half of you is missing
and you are hiding your other half
behind the passers’ shadows.
So long has passed since I last
lit such a full moon
in order to make you desire of me".

2011 February 19: "e-world" means "electronic world". This album is a wavering trip between the world created by man and the world created by nature. It is a trip from the human madness (expressed with "Psychodrama") to the natural calmness (expressed with "Ocean trip"). On the other side, technology allows us to admire the beauty of the real world (with "Moon flight" and "Beyond earth"). This alternation of music senses, does not give a specific answer to the question "What is better? Living in an e-world or living in a real world?" but motivates the listener to give his own answer. The saxophone in the tracks "Moon flight" and "Beyond earth" is played by Dmitriy Samoylenko.

2011 January 8: "Woman" is one of the early vocal songs, created in February 2009. Two years later, this song is available with better mixing and mastering production. But the most important improvement is Vagia Papapostolou's voice. I want to thank JB-Anastasia for the lyrics, Vagia Papapostolou for the vocals, Fenia Labropoulou for allowing me to use her marvelous photo for the CD cover, and Anneliese Van Buren, the model of the photo.

2010 November 20: With the first "Fairytale" album, a dream was reached. Dreams are born to guide us to paths of expectations, encouraging us to continue existing. But, what happens if you reach your dream? It is not a dream anymore, because it has been turned into reality. I wonder, if the most fatal thing that could happen to a dream is to be reached. Maybe, for some dreams, it is better to remain unattainable. However, you can continue with a new one... The album "Fairytale 2" goes one step further than the first "Fairytale". It is a more complicated music story, influenced by the stories of Antiscamp, the creator of both "Fairy Tale" and "Fairy Tale 2" add-on mods for the game "Civilization".


2010 September 20: Because of some loading problems, a new guestbook has been installed. The messages of the old guestbook are not lost. They are kept in my computer. But mainly they are kept in my heart. The old guestbook is available here.

2010 July 3: The meaning of the word "Infinity" is indeterminate and does not cause the same feelings to each one of us. Discovering the limits of our known world and the immenseness beyond it, our thoughts become confusing while we are searching for an answer. The words "infinity", "chaos", "cosmos", "universe" could create feelings of wonder, emptiness, calmness, even confusion. Through this work, I tried to present my own point of view: Self-awareness and positive energy, through a passionate musical expression. Welcome to "Infinity" version 1.

2010 April 17: Imagine that you are on a beach at sunset. While the colors of the sky are getting darker, the moon appears smoothly. Your heart is full of love and your mind is filled with calmness. This is "La luna".


2010 April 6: "Escape" is one the first rhythm tracks, composed back in November 2003. It was released at the end of 2007 and taken down in 2009. From now on a new version is available. There have been many improvements to the production, keeping as much as possible the feeling of the first version.


2010 March 27: George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) was a great German composer, known for his operas, concertos and oratorios (church music). One of his most famous compositions is "Sarabande in D Minor". "Sarabande" means "slow dance" and is one of my favorite classical works. This is my first effort to make a remake of a classical work, using both ambient and chillout elements. I hope you enjoy it.

2010 February 1: When I started composing and publishing music at the end of 2007, I had a little dream: I wanted to create a music fairytale, a story that would evolve through music, which would have all the elements of an original fairytale: Fairies, knights, castles and a beautiful princess. Now, this dream has become true. The album "Fairytale" starts with a remake of "Winter princess", one of my early works. The music trip continues with a moon waltz and a fairy dance, through a forest with unicorns and a forgotten castle. After a battle with knights of darkness, there is a king who returns home, giving his princess a message of love. Although "End of a story" is the ending song of the fairytale, it isn't the last one of the album, which ends with "Dreamland", the second remake of an older song. I am thankful to "The Copyright Group" for allowing me to use the poem "Vita nuova" by Oscar Wilde in the song "Bless and glory". The poem was told by the actor Sean Barrett and recorded by Robert J. Nichol. The Cinderella intro voice belongs to JB-Anastasia.

"I stood by the unvintageable sea
till the wet waves drenched face and hair with spray;
the long red fires of the dying day
burned in the west; the wind piped drearily;
and to the land the clamorous gulls did flee:
Alas! I cried, my life is full of pain,
and who can garner fruit or golden grain
from these waste fields which travail ceaselessly!
My nets gaped wide with many a break and flaw.
Nathless I threw them as my final cast
into the sea, and waited for the end.
When lo! a sudden glory! and I saw
the argent splendour of white limbs ascend,
and in that joy forgot my tortured past".
