Experimental Musician Billy Yfantis Presents the Space-Inspired Album New Moon
Inspired by the breathtaking phenomenon of the Moon’s phases, New Moon highlights Yfantis’ lifelong passion for astronomy. The album’s idea is based on the eight principal moon phases—the constant transition from darkness to light and back again—resulting from the ever-changing interaction of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. This cosmic story runs through the album, encouraging listeners to discover the beauty and mystery of the universe.
Each track has been specifically created to reflect a different stage of the Moon, from the calm mystery of the New Moon to the bright peak of the Full Moon and the elegant retreat into Fading Lights. Throughout the album, Yfantis combines layered analog synths, atmospheric drones, and throbbing rhythms to create an atmosphere that reflects the adventurous spirit of his musical inspirations.
Billy Yfantis’ style is a distinct mix of Tangerine Dream’s ethereal, space soundscapes and Vangelis’ dramatic, epic synthesizer soundscapes. His work also pays tribute to Jean-Michel Jarre’s revolutionary compositions, whose adventurous, experimental approach to electronic music paved the way for new audio exploration. New Moon, packed with the raw spirit of krautrock, combines analog warmth with up-to-date digital production to create multilayered deep soundscapes that reflect nostalgia as well as futuristic excitement.
