Catching a glimpse of the civilisation in 300-400 years: All technical obstacles brushed aside, the traveller in space-time, Giorgos Stefanou, may find himself in a renaissance of ethics that value humans and their creative achievements higher than its revenue on the financial market. Solely driven by the hope of raising the treasure of a cultural evolution, the destination remains unknown and the quest may last another hundred years or more. The drift into the unknown continues, passing nebulas, red giants, white dwarfs, pulsars, black holes and white masses of light. Contact signals are sent out without being returned, at least for the time being, calculating the likelihood of alien encounters.

Travelling in Space-Time leaves the acoustic impression of a sci-fi visualisation in two movements, reflecting the basic theme vocabulary and highlighting different aspects of Giorgos Stefanou's vision. As a sign of continuity, spectromorphological mutations will keep the basic idea as a whole, whilst signatures and traits will be modified with form and function complementing masses and proportions. There is no plot with a happy ending though: Rather, the outcome is left undefined and the sudden final emphasises the unreal aspect of this vision. Travelling in Space-Time is a demanding but also rewarding work to listen to and certainly one of Giorgos Stefanou finest works so far.
