Derives from the greek Aero-Statos meaning "standing in air". This derivation covers the musical impression made by Aerostat. The sensation of the music is the key driver of the floating, spatieous feeling in the sets provided by Aerostat. Away is the need to define style be genre. To stay is the need to create feeling through intelligent programming of beats, melody and drone. No more hype. Passion for emotion endulged by sonic phenomena. No need for identity - let the sound deliver Our message. Floating in free Air without apparent Propulsion. This. Is.

He was born in Brazil in 1990, now he lives in Italy even though recently it's not unusual for him to spend some time in Berlin as well, for this reason he actually feels citizen of no countries, he just considers himself a citizen of the world. Stephan started playing music at his very young age, playing the piano, the guitar and the drum and attending classes for every instrument he played. His soul has not stop to speak through his music though, and you can clearly hear this by listening to his new album "What am I" in which you can hear either happy and sad melodies and you can also hear sounds from just everywhere, even himself laying the table. http://www.stephanbarnem.com
