Silence is music.
There are different kinds of silences
In a lesser but not least important sense
Silence is an integral part of all music

Astro infinity music is beyond freedom. It is precision, discipline. It is coordination and sound interdependence. It is the design of another world. It has nothing to do with the traditions of yesterday, today or the future.

Well, I'm not playing Space Music as the ultimate reach anymore. That is, not in the interplanetary sense alone. I'm playing intergalactic music, which is beyond the other idea of space music, because it is of the natural infinity of the eternal universe Eternal.

'Imagination' is a magic carpet Upon which we may soar To distant lands and climes And even go beyond the moon To any planet in the sky, If we came from nowhere here.
Why can't we go somewhere there?

I’m actually painting pictures of infinity with my music. It has something else in it, something from another world.

This music is of the realm of the alter-destiny. In order to develop it, I had to separate myself from the world.
