ASTRANOVA, ("New Star") : "SONIC EXPLORATION, MUSICAL INNOVATION"
ASTRANOVA is a new kind of record label, born from the synergistic force of creativity from artists around the world. Without the constraints of "Pop" music & traditional record label values, these artists all share a common mission...to explore new musical horizons...to create innovative soundscapes, and discover original "Ambient Worlds" of sound.
Internet sites like GarageBand.com & ArtistLaunch.com brought together an amazing variety of like-minded, free-thinking composers from all over the globe...They started working together and these unique collaborations led to the synergistic fusion that is at the core of the ASTRANOVA label.
With the dawn of the podcasting era, an entirely new, global audio community now exists, creating a growing audience for ASTRANOVA artists every day. We thank all our listeners around the world for their ever greater support to spread the word. All the artists associated with ASTRANOVA are dedicated to sonic exploration and musical innovation:
