After my second hike up to 3000m, I recorded this track, Mountain View. It tells a musical story about a great journey from the mountain bottom to the top and breathtaking views from there. If you are alpinists, hikers, and climbers, or just love the mountains as I do — this uplifting and rhythmic track is a perfect match for your journey to the top! ⛰️⛰️⛰️

Astronaut Ape - Mountain View

I created this track after going through some tough and tragic life events, and I hope that it can provide comfort and inspiration to others who are going through similar experiences. The mood of the track is ethereal, with powerful beats and emotional melodies that capture the ups and downs of the journey toward acceptance.

Astronaut Ape - Acceptance

Even in the darkest of times, there is always hope and light to be found.

"Openness" is a deeply personal exploration of the themes of vulnerability, authenticity, and connections. Through my music, I delve into the depths of emotions, exploring the intricacies of human experience. My hope is that this album will provide comfort, inspiration, and support to all those who have felt broken and lost, and serve as a reminder of the power of resilience and hope.

It all starts with 'Openness.'
By being open, you build a lot of 'Connections.'
You will have wonderful 'Experiences.'
But then, you have to face the 'Consequences.'
After which, there is only 'Hope' left.
Then, it is time for 'Acceptance'...
And only then, you will achieve the 'Inner Light.'

This album is a genre-blending journey, combining electronic, chillout, and psybient elements with sampled ethnic instruments, ethereal voices, and electronic synth leads, as well as deep, warm, and punchy basslines. The music creates an immersive and emotive sonic landscape, inviting listeners to delve into their own inner world.

Immerse yourself in the emotive sounds of "Openness", and let the music take you on a unique sonic adventure.

Flight 420

Space. The dark, cold, and empty void between the stars. Despite all the space explorations, we still know nothing about it. What are quasars? How can we travel to another galaxy? Why the universe is expanding? Are there any other civilizations or we are alone in the space? We don't have the answers yet. But there will be a day when humanity explores the unknown sector of space!

Astronaut Ape is a guy in the orange spacesuit. He does ambient and chill-out gigs for the last 5 years and got fans on every continent of planet Earth. Once he became an expert in proper mood flow at chill space of any size. Try what he has to offer on his 5th album!

Warm cosmic melodies topped up with radio transmissions, computer noises, and slow pulsating rhythm. They teleport us right into the spaceship. Robots doing routine tasks, crew members are on their stations, all systems ready to hyperspace jump. One lonely spaceman looks into the window... Deep bass patterns, relaxing echoes, and sci-fi sounds lift your emotions to a higher level. This music is inspirational and relaxing at the same time. Wonder what's next?

Experience the great music journey in space and time! Welcome to the "Unknown Sector".

From ancient times to nowadays, people reach out for space.

We all know this feeling when watching at the sky above in the night you experience an unexplainable desire to go there.. in your imagination at the very least.

But there are people who were there. People for whom space is not a dream but a goal. And it’s not relevant if they go there themselves or prepare the flight for someone else.
April 12 is their day, a day of the first human's flight into space.

The day when the stars become a little bit closer to us.

A Little Closer To The Stars

Mir Space Station

In the big city rhythm, you are facing a permanent rush. There is a huge temptation to start living in an automatic mode. Day after day, cycle after cycle. With each next cycle colors of the world dim and fade more and more.

Until the moment you get an insight. The moment the rush is over. Everything where it belongs. The dull colors become bright again. The sun is shining...

This moment ten minutes last eternity and the eternity lasts ten minutes. Here. And now.
