The album title signals a wish to use sound as transport—pushing the mind outward toward interdimensional worlds, moving from the dreamlike to the transcendent, from the naturalistic to the cosmic. Unlike the debut, contemplative ambient and experimental pieces alternate with more rhythm-forward tracks. At the core, though, lies layering: multiple lines accumulating and evolving—hypnotic, measured, and quietly grand—in a sustained search for depth and the sublime. Affinities with key figures in ambient, experimental, electronic music and trip-hop surface in subtle compositional choices, guiding Perpetual Bridge’s ongoing exploration of hybrid forms. Astral Departures traces a journey—to the infinitely distant and unknown, and at the same time to dreamscapes that feel strangely familiar and intimate. Bridges, echoes and synergies form between the earthly and the astral (understood also as an afterlife). Such a passage asks for departure—a small sacrifice that stirs specific emotions. With its layered canvases and depth of focus, the project aims to evoke immersive experiences in which sound conjures vivid images, inviting the listener to travel through unusual yet melodically and visually accessible atmospheres.
