Why and when release a new album?
How do I decide that a musical project deserves to be released from my personal archive to be shared, circulated, and risk being listened to multiple times, here and elsewhere?
Among my works in progress, I think Acheron is ready to venture into the vast digital ecosystem of ambient music....
The basic tracks were recorded between February and March 2025.
I listened to this draft album a thousand times...
I love this music, slow, ambient, immersive, with a random dimension... Music that lives and moves in stereo space, enveloping the listener in its harmonic wake...
I feel good in this music... It's the music I love to listen to, the music I love to create...
This music is a mirror of my soul, of my state of mind when I composed it...
Regardless of its possible technical imperfections (if there are any...), my music is deeply human and artisanal, no AI, it is human intelligence and skills (with their strength and limitations) that drive the tools and instruments of my studio...
Tonight, I reworked the entire album, Acheron.
I think I've overcome some of my doubts after listening to it dozens of times...
I decided to shorten the length of the tracks, make them denser and more concise, and tighten up the flow of the album.
I think it works better. More coherent...
It is this “short” version that I will release (online on September 5, Bandcamp Day...).
Acheron is a new and coherent step in my journey... and I love very much this album, ambient, abstract, post Brian Eno...
The sounds, the movement in the stereo space, the depth of the reverberations, the slowness, all of this reflects the music I dream of listening to, and so I create it in the hope that others will enjoy immersing themselves in it too...
OFFICIAL RELEASE: SEPTEMBER 5 BANDCAMP AND ALL DIGITAL PLATFORMS
