Underground Prince

"In the vastness of stars, what do you see ?"

The central idea behind this track is to capture the inherent ambivalence/duality of space exploration : a journey that mesmerizes with its beauty, yet instills a profound sense of fear when confronted with the boundless void and the unknown dangers lurking within.

Vastness of Stars

The goal with this third track was to synthesize the knowledge I’ve developed after a month of practice with FL Studio and create something out of it.

The concept is simple: since I sampled many passages from the film Matrix, which itself takes light inspiration from philosophical concepts drawn from J. Baudrillard's book "Simulacra and Simulation", the objective was to highlight the fine line between the real and the virtual developed in the film, rather than focusing on Baudrillard’s axioms.

To create this piece, I first tried to evoke a dream state, then to simulate a gentle awakening, and finally a hard-to-swallow realization due to the weight of disillusionment. To do this, I borrowed Morpheus’s voice and these haunting synths, then shifted toward something more unique. Later, the track evolves by using numerous sound artifacts and transitions across different compositions, styles, and genres to reinforce this idea of a fleeting wander, temporary, in this world, in my world, but also to emphasize that the fabric of this illusory reality melts and gradually tears apart like an oil stain. Up to the dnb drop and its aftermath, the gradual annihilation of the "real" becomes more and more felt, until this child utters the words "That’s impossible" and raises the curtain toward a previously unknown object.

Finally, from an artistic standpoint, this ephemeral journey lasting 2 minutes and 20 seconds is my imaginary "pataphysical" solution, in which I try to embrace my propensity to overload my artistic creations with ideas, at the risk—at times—of not giving them a wrap worthy of enhancing them.

It's worth noting that Baudrillard himself, with biting cynicism, remarked that the appropriation of his ideas by the Wachowski siblings for their film was at best disappointing, at worst tasteless and irrelevant: “The Matrix is a bit like the film about the Matrix that the Matrix could have made.”

So I hope I haven’t fallen into that pitfall as a beginner in the field of computer-assisted music production by trying to take inspiration from it and that I remain, in your eyes, an enthusiast moreso than a failed, pedantic intellectual who still has a few issues with mixing, volume control, and, of course, that unnerving idea that we may all be alienated within a simulacrum.

FR: Morceau original réalisé dans le cadre du osu!mania 4K French Tournament 2025, l'objectif était de produire un morceau dense, varié et teinté de symbolisme afin de le rendre à la fois mémorable mais aussi exploitable dans le cadre d'un mapping mania (VSRG) et/ou standard.

Comme le titre l'indique, il s'agit d'une sorte de voyage onirique ambivalent, parfois enthousiaste : le morceau dans sa première partie explore un thème plus joyeux -- notamment par le biais de ces vocal chops éthérés -- puis dérive de plus en plus vers un motif plus cauchemardesque dans sa deuxième partie avec ces samples de bass très "mean" et agressifs.

Je souhaitais remercier toute l'organisation pour leur confiance et leur précieux feedback ainsi que les artistes qui se sont occupés de traduire mes intentions musicales en expressions visuelles, que ce soit le mapper, le vidéaste mais aussi et surtout Audrey alias balsan_a pour son magnifique artwork ! 

EN :  Original track produced as part of the osu!mania 4K French Tournament 2025. The goal was to create a dense, varied piece infused with symbolism — something both memorable and suitable for mania (VSRG) and/or standard mapping.

As the title suggests, this is some sort of an ambivalent dreamlike journey. At times uplifting, the first half explores a more joyful theme — especially through those ethereal vocal chops — before gradually descending into a darker, more nightmarish motif in the second half, driven by some very "mean" and aggressive bass samples.

I'd like to thank the entire organization for their trust and valuable feedback, as well as the artists who helped translate my musical intent into visual expression — from the mapper, to the video editor, and most of all Audrey aka balsan_a for her stunning artwork!

Dream Expansion

I Like U

Hey !

Here is my 22th Track called : "Neon Fuchsia" as a reference to one of my favourite games called Neon White from which I sampled dialogues for the song’s outro !

I love this track so much since it features multiple high energy sections, ethereal vocals and stabs.

Enjoy ~
