Experimental Electronic Music Artist Billy Yfantis Releases The Otherworldly Music Album \u201cBirds in Space\u201d Featuring Real Bird Sounds!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An album consisting of 27 Experimental compositions inspired by Astronomy and artists like Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, and Cluster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Athens, Greece \u2013 Experimental musician and author Billy Yfantis releases his new digital album \u201cBirds in Space.\u201d The album consists of 27 experimental tracks that explore space from a musical and conceptual perspective. The concept refers to a flock of birds that travel in space among various space objects (clusters and galaxies). The album’s song titles refer to real space objects that exist in the science of astronomy. Trivia: The \u201cBirds in Space\u201d track is a 30 minute psychedelic composition that includes real bird sounds, recorded somewhere in Athens, Greece!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Billy Yfantis commented on the release: \u201cIn a world full of music stars, if you really want to find the next real star, then just switch off the TV, pick up the telescope, and look up to the sky, where the real space objects exist and surround our planet. Astronomy and music, according to Plato, are \u201ctwinned\u201d disciplines of sensuous perception: astronomy is for the eyes, and music is for the ears. The goal of this album is to feed your eyes and ears with sensuous food for thought.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Billy is currently working on his next album, with a scheduled release in late 2023. Stay tuned for more information!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Famous Quotes (What Others Have Said)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Krautrock legend Harald Grosskopf (Ash Ra Tempel, Klaus Schulze, Cosmic Jokers): \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<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tom McLoughlin (Director of the movie \u201cFriday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives\u201d): \u201cI really dug his music!! VERY cool stuff!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Phil Lanzon (Uriah Heep): \u201cI like the track \u2018Waiting for the battle.\u2019 Great riff. I can see this as soundtracks to Psycho \u2013 punk movies and the like.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Bobby Borg, (Music Business Author, Consultant, Professor): \u201cThis is fkn bad ass music that everyone needs to hear\u2026 imagine the coolest meditation music out there and the coolest sci-fi movie soundtrack rolled into one! Stream it and trip out today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Steve Whitfield (Producer and engineer of The Cure, The Mission UK): \u201cThis music is crying out to be used in films but at the same time it\u2019s great to just sit back, listen and immerse yourself in them without any moving images and let your imagination run wild!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Snowy Shaw (ex-King Diamond, Therion, Mercyful Fate): \u201cI didn\u2019t know what to expect when I had this album sent to me by the composer Billy Yfantis. To be perfectly honest, 9 times out of 10 when people send me their new album it makes me feel a bit uneasy and awkward. Firstly because I don\u2019t listen an awful lot to contemporary music and secondly, even less to other metal & hard rock artists due to lack of interest and I don\u2019t wanna hurt their feelings. I don\u2019t mean that in any rude, disrespectful or arrogant way, but I\u2019m into creating my own music, not so much into consuming music of my peers. However, this was something entirely different. I\u2019m not even sure it\u2019s considered music, but it\u2019s the kind of atmospheric and meditative type of sounds that I\u2019ve been listening a helluva lot over the past few years to try to relax and cope with my stressful, turbulent life, constantly on the verge of being burnt out. That being said, I liked it and it made me calm, mindful and sleepy. Presumably the worst kind of reaction my metalhead peers would wanna hear about their new album but in this case it\u2019s probably the best sort of compliment one could get.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
