Layers: Time & Pattern [2025]

Sometimes a melody appears out of nowhere, as if someone were guiding their fingers by drawing a line that ends up being beautiful, without having put in any intention, any previous idea, any structure and, obviously, no architecture. It flows and emerges. It happens to me often and I don't know how to explain it. It is an easy air. It lets go and fills the environment. If sound is vibration in the air, I can find no other explanation than feeling that the air facilitates the vibration having its echo. The air accompanies this composition-improvisation. And the air structures it. And the air amplifies it. And that's how it is and that's how it flows.
A voltes una melodia apareix del no res, com si algú guiés els dits dibuixant una línia que acaba sent bonica, sense que hagi posat cap intenció, cap idea prèvia, cap estructura i, evidentment, cap arquitectura.  Flueix i sorgeix. Em passa sovint i no sé explicar-ho. És un aire fàcil. Es deixa anar i omple l'ambient. Si el so és vibració en l'aire no trobo més explicació que el sentir que l'aire facilita que la vibració tingui el seu eco. L'aire acompanya aquesta composició-improvisació. I l'aire l'estructura. I l'aire l'amplifica. I així és i així flueix.
A veces una melodía aparece de la nada, como si alguien guiara los dedos dibujando una línea que acaba siendo bonita, sin que haya puesto ninguna intención, ninguna idea previa, ninguna estructura y, evidentemente, ninguna arquitectura. Fluye y surge. Me pasa a menudo y no sé explicarlo. Es un aire fácil.  Se deja ir y llena el ambiente. Si el sonido es vibración en el aire no encuentro ninguna explicación más que el sentir que el aire facilita que esa vibración tenga su eco. El aire acompaña esta composición-improvisación. Y el aire la estructura. El aire la amplifica. Y así es y así fluye.

Doubt..... everyone knows or should know what doubt is. A truth among truths, two or more. When you doubt and it goes on and on, take action, decide with all your courage. The best decisions are those that remain AFTER a long period of making choices in your mind and are stronger than other choices in your mind! You are allowed to exist!!

In Dutch: Twijfel..... iedereen weet of zou moeten weten wat twijfel is. Een waarheid tussen waarheden, twee of meer. Wanneer je twijfelt en het duurt en duurt, onderneem dan actie, beslis met al je moed. De beste beslissingen zijn degenen die blijven NA een lange periode van keuzes maken in je hoofd en sterker zijn dan andere keuzes in je hoofd! Je mag er zijn!!

!Paul (pronounced ipaul) Unveils ‘Unfold’: A Masterpiece of Musical Evolution and Profound Introspection.

Prepare for an unparalleled sonic journey as !Paul, the exceptionally talented producer and composer presents his highly anticipated second album: Unfold. Following the success of his acclaimed debut album "Home," which captivated critics and listeners alike with its delicate balance between dance and classical genres, !Paul now shatters boundaries and reveals a sound that is both innovative and deeply personal.

"Home" was an intimate, piano-centric album that gently guided you to a place of comfort. "Unfold," however, is a bold step forward, an album that invites the listener on a journey of inner discovery and boundless experimentation. This album is a testament to !Paul's fearlessness in evolving, venturing into uncharted musical territories, and expanding his already rich palette of modern classical, new age, neo-classical, lo-fi, and dream pop.

With nine compelling singles as a prelude, !Paul has already offered the world a taste of the depth and breadth of "Unfold." From the daring, oriental sounds of 'Personal Thoughts,' where acoustic guitar takes the lead instead of his signature piano, to the cinematic, dreamy piano melodies of 'Excited' and 'The Search,' which transport you to a world of beauty and freedom.

But "Unfold" is more than just a collection of beautiful melodies; it is an album that speaks to the soul, where !Paul effortlessly connects music and title. Such as in 'New Day,' where downtempo, chillout, and indie dance influences herald a fresh start, or in 'She Whispers,' where an enchanting piano and a gentle voice guide you through life's chaos.

The album delves deeper into the human experience with introspective pieces like 'As It Is,' capturing a moment of focused serenity, and 'Self-reflection,' a pure example of musical art that transforms depth, silence, and thoughtfulness into sound. And then there's 'Nowhere Fast,' a track that invites you to wander, daydream, and find peace in the 'in-between.' Even the ode to friendship, 'Friends 4 Life,' is infused with !Paul's characteristic dreamy piano lines.

The musical journey culminates in the previously unreleased 'Echoes.' This closing track opens with the typical !Paul piano sound, underpinned by a deeper synth layer that keeps you engaged without drowning out his exquisite piano playing. Is it his own echo he hears, are they the footsteps of his own past resonating? It's an open ending that simultaneously offers peace, a perfect representation of the momentum in !Paul's existence.

"Unfold" is not just an album; it is an invitation to grow, reflect, and embrace. It is the sound of an artist fully at home in his craft, a gift that Toan Madritsch, the creative force behind !Paul, shares with unprecedented grace and profound depth. Allow yourself to be carried away by the layering, the emotion, and the unparalleled musicality of !Paul’s 'Unfold'.

In July 2023, Christophe was honored with the GRAND PRIZE for the composition of "Little French Valse n°4" at the USA MUSIC COMPOSITION AND VIDEO PRODUCTION International Competition held by IYMC, the jury commented, stating : "Marvelous. Superbly artistic, full of life and very inventive. Such a great piece, I almost wish we lived back in the 19th century. To us, one of the signs of great composers is not repeating anything that has been already said. Liszt could get together with Chopin and compose this, but not in 2023..."
