1/∞ One Over Infinity: A Spiritual Arts Podcast with Reza Safinia

This week's guest is Astra — a composer, sound alchemist, and producer who has spent years working in 432Hz tuning, crafting ambient music rooted in sacred geometry, solfeggio tones, and the healing frequencies of the chakras. His music has moved millions of listeners organically, without a label or marketing budget — just pure resonance.

In this conversation we go deep. We talk about the spiritual nature of music, the discipline of making music 12 hours a day every single day, and what it actually means to clear your energy when other people's emotions get tangled with yours. We also get into some of the biggest questions — are we God disguising itself from itself just to have an experience? Can music still change the world? And what does it feel like when a piece of music is finally right?

A conversation about sound, spirit, and showing up for your art.

In this episode, we sit down with filmmaker and musician Ari Gold for a wide-ranging, deeply personal conversation that touches on art, grief, spirituality, and the transformative power of storytelling.

Ari shares the journey behind his new single-shot film Brother Verses Brother — an intimate, real-time odyssey through the streets of San Francisco with his identical twin, searching for music, love, and their 99-year-old father. He also opens up about Helicopter, his decade-in-the-making documentary about processing the death of his mother through a psychomagic ritual prescribed by legendary director Alejandro Jodorowsky.

We talk about what it means to truly experience art versus merely consume it, why specificity is the key to universality, the creative flow state and what it feels like when something takes over, and bending reality itself.

A conversation about loss, healing, and why art — at its deepest — is an act of lighting people up.

In this episode, I sit down with Pierre Perifel — director of the Dreamworks animated features The Bad Guys 1 & 2 , and one of the most soulful storytellers working in animation today.

Pierre went from a small town in Burgundy, France to the halls of DreamWorks, and his journey is as layered as the films he makes.

We get into why great animation can hit deeper than live action, how he embeds real societal themes — like reinsertion after prison — into family films, and what it actually feels like when years of craft finally become a creative language you can speak fluently.

We also go deep on consciousness, manifesting, the Akashic records, what it means to be made of stardust, and why the universe might be more magical than science wants to admit.

This one's for the artists, the dreamers, and anyone who's ever made something and wondered if it matters.

 Thank you so much Pierre for opening your heart and mind to us in this incredibly honest talk!
