ANDREI NASTASA ~ Spirit Journey
Andrei Nastasa is a new artist who deserves the attention of electronic and new age music fans. Especially those who love the work of Vangelis will find familiar harmonies and sounds in his compositions. This influence is no coincidence, as Andrei is one of the lucky few to have been in Vangelis' entourage and benefited directly from the occasional guidance offered by the Greek master. I have chosen to publish this episode today, when Vangelis would have turned 81, as a motive for celebration and gratitude. Although Vangelis's influence is assumed, Andrei integrated it into a more personal musical language, seeking self-definition and refinement, a path currently embodied in two albums. I invite you to discover Andrei Nastasa and his music in this new edition of Journeys to the Infinite show.

ENTHEOGENIC ~ The Universal Symbiosis
Entheogenic is a musical project that combines and crosses many boundaries within the Psybient realm. Formerly a duo, the mission is now carried on by Piers Oak-Rhind, a sound designer, programmer, and musician born in England, but now living in New York. In our interview, he discusses the new album Oddiyana and his journey into music until now.
Music knows no borders and is deeply embedded in our human nature. It flows and transcends the ephemeral and arbitrary limits, it inspires a sense of unity and timelessness. Here we embrace a complex web of styles and sonic ideas, from the traditional to the experimental. Beyond this diversity, music remains a vehicle for inner exploration, self-expression, and communion. „Journeys to the Infinite” promotes Ambient, Space, Psychill, New Age, and World-Fusion genres. Listen to interviews with great artists and producers, discover new sounds and enjoy the Journey !
