BILLY YFANTIS: BIRDS IN SPACE
ON BIG BLEND RADIO: Experimental electronic musician and author Billy Yfantis discusses his new digital album “Birds in Space.” Watch here in the YouTube player or download the podcast on PodBean.
Experimental musician and author Billy Yfantis releases his new digital album “Birds in Space.” 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 “Birds in Space” track is a 30 minute psychedelic composition that includes real bird sounds, recorded somewhere in Athens, Greece!
Billy Yfantis commented on the release: “In 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 “twinned” 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.”
Vasileios (Billy) Yfantis holds 2 master’s degrees in information technology and is a Ph.D. candidate in the University of West Attica by conducting research on e-government. Billy has been working on music since the late 1990s by experimenting with tape mixing and sound design. Billy is playing digital keyboards but prefers to express his artistic dream through the electronic sounds that come from unusual machines. He has experimented with the recording of vacuum cleaners, electric blenders and other strange sounds that have resulted in musical releases. Moreover, Billy has authored books on music, business, and science while from times to times he speaks about the electronic governance at scientific conferences all over Europe.
Billy is currently working on his next album, with a scheduled release in late 2023. Find “Birds in Space” and other music by Billy Yfantis here: https://billyyfantis.bandcamp.com
