As the stirring ethereal atmosphere builds, lyrically Theodore explores the voyage to the unknown<em>. V<\/em>enturing to areas that go beyond the limits of human knowledge, with the focus not on the destination but on the process of the journey and what you leave behind.<\/p>\n<p>Theodore said <em>\u201cThis album was strongly influenced by sci-fi culture both from a cinematic and discography point of view, specifically 2001: a space Odyssey. I composed the new material while exploring the idea of the transcendence of humanity. The main hero, who represents the human race, feels forced to leave his home; planet Earth and his constants and values behind, in order to begin a spiritual escape journey.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Growing up in Greece had a huge impact on Theodore\u2019s songwriting, the artist&#8217;s lyrics reflect on philosophical quests and themes inspired by ancient Greek philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle. This combined with a love of Sci-Fi culture from literature, cinema and music continue to shape the music he creates today.
