ART OF INFINITY - Space Pop on a New Level
...Somehow, these two electronic wizards have blended the ultra new and the traditional to form an exciting novel mix of music that takes you on a journey far out in space with only your thoughts and dreams for company. You may never want to return! (New Age Reporter, USA)
...If the blandness of a lot of the modern ambient leaves you somewhat cold but you still hanker for something relaxing to soothe the pressures of life, the universe and everything, German music project Art Of Infinity may have the solution. (Dutch Progressive Rock Page, Netherlands)

“In October 1996, Thorsten Sudler-Mainz and Thorsten Rentsch travelled to a house on the Dutch coast. In their luggage they carried a selection of instruments and the vision of a unique ambient music-project called ART OF INFINITY.”
This proved to be the foundation stone for the debut album New Horizon released in 2000. On this album ART OF INFINITY demonstrated its characteristic musical elements such as electronic, chant-like female vocals and real played instruments for the first time.
In January 2004 ART OF INFINITY signed a contract with the renowned German company BSC Music. After the worldwide success of the second ART OF INFINITY album Dimension Universe (2004), the third album Endless Future (2008) was released on the BSC main label Prudence too.
While their first album New Horizon deals with the subject of genesis and evolution, the listener is going on an endless journey into space on the second album Dimension Universe. The new album Endless Future once again deals with ancient topics and archaic dreams of mankind.
The third concept album of ART OF INFINITY completes a harmonious trilogy. With their ambitious music they become accepted as the creators of the "New School Ambient".
Über ART OF INFINITY
Space Pop in einer neuen Dimension
“Im Oktober 1996 reisen Thorsten Sudler-Mainz und Thorsten Rentsch in ein Haus an der holländischen Küste. Im Gepäck haben sie ein komplettes Aufnahmestudio, jede Menge Instrumente und die Vision eines einzigartigen Ambient-Musik-Projekts mit dem Namen ART OF INFINITY.”
Das war der Grundstein für das im Jahr 2000 erschienene Debüt-Album New Horizon, auf dem zum ersten Mal die für ART OF INFINITY typische Kombination aus Elektronik, groß angelegten Frauengesängen und echt gespielten Instrumenten in Erscheinung trat.
Im Januar 2004 unterzeichneten ART OF INFINITY einen Plattenvertrag beim renommierten deutschen Label BSC Music. Nach dem weltweiten Erfolg des zweiten Albums Dimension Universe (2004) erschien auch das dritte Album Endless Future (2008) auf dem BSC Main-Label Prudence.
Während sich das erste Album New Horizon mit den Themen Ursprung und Evolution befasst, geht der Hörer mit dem zweiten Album Dimension Universe auf eine unendliche Reise zu fernen Galaxien. Und auch auf Endless Future geht es inhaltlich wieder um Urfragen und -träume der Menschheit - Gibt es eine endlose Zukunft?
Mit dem dritten Konzeptalbum in Folge haben ART OF INFINITY eine stimmige Trilogie und gleichzeitig mit ihrer anspruchsvollen musikalischen Ausrichtung den „Ambient der neuen Schule" erschaffen.

I belief in artgeneering...the artist is only a medium,connected to the spirits around him-translating vibes into symbolic shapes to reinitialize the ancient wayof using language... the way of light and color... without the disguise of words,right through the passage of our eyes... to reach hearts and souls without taking the intelectual loop way... natural formulas in an unnatural world...pure and uncensored... awakening the visiual awareness, the centre of our inner universe... to let it shine in the way it has allways been before these annoying times, that keep us away from our natural mission... to stay connected with our great mother earth and her deep spirit of freedom and peace... we have to regain our nearly lost nativeness, to stop this wheel of opression and iniquity that haunts our world and our hearts...it's time for the rainbow warriors :-)
