Thanos Yamas, the creative force behind THE Astrolabe, has always been driven by a desire to connect with others through music. His work combines global influences with multimedia inspiration, creating a sound that feels both timeless and forward-thinking. For Thanos, music is a form of storytelling—one that reflects his own experiences and observations of the world around him. As he puts it, "I write songs about the life I have lived and the life that I observe in other people." This blend of personal reflection and shared experience is central to THE Astrolabe’s unique sound, which invites listeners to immerse themselves in a universe of dreams, emotions, and stories.
Since the release of his first track in December 2020, Thanos has continued to refine and evolve his vision for THE Astrolabe. His music has resonated with listeners across the globe, with over 1.6 million views on YouTube and 120,000 streams on Spotify. These impressive numbers reflect the growing fanbase that connects with the immersive and imaginative world Thanos creates through his songs. More than just music, THE Astrolabe offers an experience—one that transports listeners into a space where creativity, emotion, and connection converge.
At its core, THE Astrolabe is about bringing people together. Thanos explains that his music is "our music," emphasizing the communal aspect of the project. It’s about shared moments, shared experiences, and the ways in which music can unite people, no matter their background or location. This ethos of connection is evident in every track he releases, including ‘Lovers’. The song isn’t just a personal expression for Thanos—it’s an invitation for listeners to join him in a collective journey of hope, imagination, and freedom.
As ‘Lovers’ continues to make its mark, it’s clear that Thanos Yamas has carved out a space for himself in the music world where creativity and connection reign supreme. His work invites listeners to step away from the noise of the world and find refuge in the beauty of sound and the power of love.
