La Route des Alpes takes us on a journey through the Alps of 1921—an emotion-filled trip between ambient, electronica, and IDM, guided by the music of DNGLS (Maxime Dangles mist side), who first caught attention in 2016 with his album Lukarne and a memorable cine-concert for A Beautiful Planet at the legendary venue La Géode, followed by shows at La Cigale, Rex Club, Astropolis, and a stunning France TV recording in immersive binaural sound.
After a long silence, DNGLS—always lurking in the shadows or in the mist that defines his music, deeply influenced by artists such as Burial—returns with this album, originally commissioned by the Scène Nationale du Lux in Valence for a cine-concert on André Bayard’s silent film.
It is an exploration of a world and a mountain that no longer exist—through Évian, the Col du Galibier, Mont Blanc… Epic flights echoing the grandeur of the landscapes, a deep sense of nostalgia, darker tracks shaped by the harshness of the elements, later contrasted by the lightness of clearings traced by his synthesizers—a fragile, skin-deep composition elevated by immersive and masterful sound design.
La route des Alpes is a sensory journey, a meditation on time and memory, where escape becomes a refuge.
