“Solarized Sonic Memory” is a deeply personal exploration of my childhood summers in the south of France, translated into sound. The EP draws inspiration from specific sensory experiences, like the dramatic Tyndall effect created by strong sun rays piercing through closed wooden shutters in our house. This was the setting where my passion for music truly ignited, listening on my father’s hi-fi system to influential tracks such as Venetian Snares’ “Szerencsétlen” and Amon Tobin’s seminal album “Bricolage.” These early encounters profoundly influenced my musical taste and, directly, the direction of my current productions.
Another key inspiration comes from beach days, where, as a child, time felt infinite. After exhilarating hours in the waves, I'd lie on my towel, ear to the ground, captivated by the subtle sounds resonating through the sand. I'd even experiment with my vision, mesmerized by the entoptic phenomena, a visual spectacle I now understand but then simply found enchanting. The sense of falling asleep in the hot car on the way back, skin dry with salt and sand, completes this tapestry of memories.
Spanning genres from bass and breakcore to drum and bass, IDM, leftfield bass, and deconstructed club music, "Solarized Sonic Memory" exists in the pulsating range of 160 to 200 BPM. Each track aims to evoke these unique, vivid moments, inviting listeners into a deeply personal, yet universally resonant, journey.
