Here’s Kantocast Kantocast021 blue Dietrich - “Sketches Of Latin America”

Changing the codes of electronic music, blue Dietrich is an alternative project driven by musician and sound engineer Felipe Paiva. From its conception in 2019, his unique way of producing electronic music has opened the doors to iconic independent labels like Bar25 and Café de Anatolia, as well as festivals like Burning Man and Chateau Perché.

*What pushed you towards music production? Where did the inspiration come from?
I’ve always had this inner need to express my creativity, and it could be in any domain. For me, music was the “tool” that was most adapted (it fits my geek side, it has a certain technicity for instrument learning, it has an incredible power on people), and so it was a perfect match to me. 
When producing, my inspiration comes from the music I hear around me, independently of the style. I actually don’t listen much to electronic music! Instead, I’m more into world music, rock,  jazz, pop, and then I feel the need of “changing” something, adding a certain flavor to something I’ve heard somewhere. What I love in electronic music is this DIY simplicity; you don’t need a full band, a studio and money, everything can be done with few things, and really quickly.

* Do you think music interconnects with culture? How does the environment you live in affect your music?
Music as an expression of culture. The harmonies, scales, instruments, rhythms, everything in music is materializing certain aspects of a culture. Maybe the composer / interpreter doesn’t even know it consciously, but it’s there.
For blue Dietrich, I try to make the people “travel” between different cultures and vibes. To be able to create a certain vibe with the audience, it is really important that I “deconstruct” the music I hear, so that I can “pick” different elements which I’ll then use to create the “flavours” of a certain culture and/or mood. In my point of view, the best way of doing this is to listen to music and travel, “live” things with my own eyes and ears, so that I can better “feel” things, capture them, and then add my “signature” elements, which keep an overall coherence of my work. 

* Do you get inspired by any other form of art?
Yes, mainly cinema. It helps a lot to “dive” into a vibe and get the music out of it.

* What makes a set a good one?
In my point of view, the capacity to take the audience into a trip, through different cultures and emotions. But this is a personal choice; sometimes people just want to dance to the beat and decompress…that’s fine for me too :)

* What’s the process you follow when bringing tunes together? Is it instinctive only or do you plan ahead?
I’ve been mainly playing only live sets since 2 years now, so I tend to compose music oriented to this. I let go of this constraint of making “songs”; I write music which are sometimes just interludes, or themes which are not even electronic music at all. 
Then the process of playing live to me is to define a “plot”, a “script” of where I’m going to take the public to. A “desert” vibe? A “latin” vibe? a “city nights” vibe? Then which moods, “ironic”, “playful”, “sensual”, etc. Once I have this in mind, the choice of the music to be used flows easily, and most of the time I compose some new music for each set, which I “test” to see how the public (and me!) feel it

"Here’s to the journey of pursuing your dream, 
Through dark passageways of time where little light is seen.

Before long, there will be light brighter than before.
For as long as there’s light in you, you’ll be met with another door."

Tennyo - Decompression 2023

"I believe that the suffering or the bad memories are as important as the good memories and good experiences. If you sort of can imagine life as being 99% of the time quite linear and most of the time you are neither in a state of happiness nor sadness. And then let's say at 1% of the time you experience moments of either very crystallized happiness or crystallized sadness or moments of depression. 
And I believe these crystallized moments are very potent. And for me, it's mostly these crystallized moments of melancholy, which are more inspirational to me. So in a strange way they become quite beautiful in their own way. Music that is sad, melancholic or depressing is in a kind of perverse way more uplifting. I find happy music most of the time quite depressing, if it's just mindless party music. It's particularly because it has no spirituality behind it. Largely speaking, I am the kind of person that responds more to melancholia and that makes me feel good."
