6 evolving soundscapes with a duration over 60 minutes in the music style of Vangelis, Tangerine Dream and Brian Eno<\/em>

Athens, Greece – Experimental musician and author Billy Yfantis, releases his 3rd Sci-Fi\/Space album entitled \u201cNoises from the Outer Space\u201d. The album features 6 instrumental tracks composed by having in mind the atmosphere of Sci-Fi movies and the science of Astronomy. The Spaced Out vibes of the album mix perfectly with the evolving tonality of the music and create an Avant-garde trip to the universe. The album was composed and recorded in Athens, Greece by Billy Yfantis who explored musically several virtual synthesizers mainly used for cinematic Sound Design. Each track represents the aesthetic and sonic perception of Space from the composer\u2019s point of view, consequently the final result sounds as close as possible to the soundtrack of a classic Sci-Fi movie.

The cinematic atmosphere of Billy\u2019s music has created positive feedback from important professionals of the music industry. Steve Whitfield (Producer and engineer of The Cure, The Mission UK) commented upon listening to the music of Billy Yfantis for the first time: \u201cThis music is crying out to be used in films but at the same time it’s great to just sit back listen and immerse yourself in them without any moving images and let your imagination run wild!\u201d

Famous Quotes<\/strong>
Krautrock legend Harald Grosskopf (Ash Ra Tempel, Klaus Schulze, Cosmic Jokers):\u00a0\u201cI always like electronic music made by younger musicians who consequently follow their personal instinct, rather than trying to copy what\u2019s already been made in the past, in the spirit of: Whenever you meet Buddha kill him. Keep on tracking Billy!\u201d<\/em>

Tom McLoughlin (Director of the movie \u201cFriday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives\u201d):\u00a0\u201cI really dug his music!! VERY cool stuff!!\u201d<\/em>
\u00a0<\/em>
Phil Lanzon (Uriah Heep):\u00a0\u201cI like the track ‘Waiting for the battle.’ Great riff. I can see this as soundtracks to Psycho – punk movies and the like.\u201d<\/em>
