If Archil & Leon wanted to debunk the clichés of mad sound engineers/musicians who spend entire nights in a studio cave without seeing daylight, they failed. They perfectly embody the characters of passionate (and fascinating) creators, who see in the sounds of reality as many opportunities to create music. In a Parisian basement, Archil & Leon invited RADIO NOVA a few weeks ago to discover their whimsical instruments, creating a treasure trove of innovation.

They use these quirky creations to compose for artists like Crystal Murray (Archil produced her track "Princess") and brands like Apple and Hermès. During the lockdown, more and more people began to follow Archil & Leon's experiments, as they transformed Archil’s heartbeat into a groovy beat with a stethoscope turned Stethophone, or made a melody with the vibration of a dildo turned Dildophone. The challenge they set themselves is crafting fine alternative pop with these inventions. A challenge they take on with ease, featuring indie dance/indietronica tracks (Wild Child, Magic Is Now, True Colours, Underwater Visions) as well as more downtempo ones (Casablanca or Without You By My Side).

▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬
Everything started in the dreary moonlight of a cold night. Two nightshade plants, surrounded by mist and fog, follow the loud call of a siren. They meet in a secluded bay, interested, watching each other closely. The air is soaked with a sense of intimacy. A ribbon of friendship surrounds them, resting its arms calmly on them. They feel that something connects them, but they cannot put it into words. Suddenly soft noises appear around them. At first it's just a grumbling, whirring noise. A crack is followed by a crackling, a humming is followed by a rumbling, and a frequency followed by a thunder. Everything around them turns into an instrument, the music enabling them to speak in words. The nightshade plants wallow in the sound, captured by the racket of the night. Time wafts in trance in front of them, stops and surrenders into endless space. Suddenly beautiful, bright voices arise, surrounding them warmly. Like an orchestra, all sounds fuse into an euphoric mass up to the climax. All of the sudden everything turns quiet. Sizzling and smoke surrounds them. As if torn out of a dream, the two find themselves standing by a fire. They are no longer alone. Two more nightshade plants have joined them, dwelling in the light, looking into the fire singing along. Trembling flames making their shivering shadows dance. A flame shoots up, tearing the darkness in two. Glistening light fills the environment, banishing the night. The dawn of a new day arises with a rainbow spreading over the bay.

If Archil & Leon wanted to debunk the clichés of mad sound engineers/musicians who spend entire nights in a studio cave without seeing daylight, they failed. They perfectly embody the characters of passionate (and fascinating) creators, who see in the sounds of reality as many opportunities to create music. In a Parisian basement, Archil & Leon invited RADIO NOVA a few weeks ago to discover their whimsical instruments, creating a treasure trove of innovation.
They use these quirky creations to compose for artists like Crystal Murray (Archil produced her track "Princess") and brands like Apple and Hermès. During the lockdown, more and more people began to follow Archil & Leon's experiments, as they transformed Archil’s heartbeat into a groovy beat with a stethoscope turned Stethophone, or made a melody with the vibration of a dildo turned Dildophone. The challenge they set themselves is crafting fine alternative pop with these inventions. A challenge they take on with ease, featuring indie dance/indietronica tracks (Wild Child, Magic Is Now, True Colours, Underwater Visions) as well as more downtempo ones (Casablanca or Without You By My Side).

Archil & Leon - Forever

Archil & Leon - Underwater Visions

Ocean Flor returns with their second single, 𝘊𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘔𝘺 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘥, a poignant exploration of emotional and physical boundaries. Blending Jesse's evocative lyrics with Aera's signature melodic production, the song captures the tension between longing for connection and grappling with past mistakes. 

Inspired by the beauty and complexity of relationships, 𝘊𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘔𝘺 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘥 invites the listener to reflect on the emotional spaces between people, the barriers we build, and the hope for reconciliation. 

Ocean Flor is the collaborative project of Ralf Schmidt (aka Aera) and Jesse Trinidad, merging contemporary dancefloor elements with an experimentalist pop approach. 
Rooted in their DJing backgrounds, the duo's sound has evolved to embrace more intimate and expansive soundscapes, drawing influences from Andalusia’s landscapes and the rhythms of life by the sea.

Ocean Flor - Close My Hand

The third Ocean Flor single, 𝘕𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘋𝘰𝘸𝘯, is finally out now! 🌊🌺

A sleek fusion of German electronica and UK breakbeat energy, with a subtle Southern Spanish twist.

Archil: Pisces, Leo rising
Leon: Pisces, Aries rising

« A lunar duo. These two sensitive and intuitive beings have everything to be on the same wavelength from day one ». Indeed Archil & Leon are both drummers and hence share a very specific approach to music.

Their studios are filled with strange instruments: machines with unexpected sounds created by Archil. He explores the boundary between art and science by experimenting with the vibrations of springs, the sound of water, or the use of motors. These instruments expand Archil & Leon’s sonic palette, giving a unique, distinctive sound to their productions.
