Ard Bit Live @ INDEx / HYPERFOCUS 02/07/2022 The Grey Space, The Hague

The Stratos Ensemble is a progressive jazz band, the brainchild of producer Dean De Benedictis. The Fateless Flows Collective was an organization that Dean once ran, but now is simply the brand canopy that represents many of his extended projects, such as collaborations with original FF members and related material. Dean has decided to merge both his Stratos Ensemble content and his general Fateless Flows content on this particular SC page. 

The company name was originally the name of an electronic music collective Dean ran from 2003-05. From 2007-11 there was a plan to relaunch Fateless Flows as a record label, but it fell through. What remains are video channels on Youtube and Vimeo, and this Soundcloud page. Dean keeps his art and content coming, so he still uses the FF brand to release anything he works on that he also maintains rights control of, be it solo efforts or collaborative. Dean also has a separate SC page for his solo material.

Electronic Music Label For Artists From The Hague
run by Martijn Verlinden
https://antilounge.bandcamp.com

Adrien d’Elzius is a traveler of shadows and halos, a silent-walker who transforms emptiness into a path. His art invites listeners to hear what happens between states — where doubt yields to a gentle clarity, where the body-sound and image respond to and illuminate each other. In his universe, contemplative electronic music blends with abstract imagery and AI-enhanced visual writing, giving rise to a transmedia experience that does not merely tell a story but makes it emerge through each medium.

Musically, Adrien d’Elzius favors sounds that speak directly to bodily and emotional listening. His textures are spatial and sensuous: pads that breathe like nighttime landscapes, drones that sustain poetic tension, and discreet melodies that sharpen the sense of time. The rhythmic backbone, precise and technically crafted, is nurtured by his live drumming and a keen sense of groove — a framework that offers clarity without ever sacrificing emotion. This rhythmic dimension forms the skeleton upon which organic textures and electric scratches unfold, guiding the listener along an inner journey that unfolds without a promised endpoint, but with a growing clarity upon repeated listenings.

Visually, Adrien d’Elzius’s work is conceived as a door — a sequence of portals, halos, and organic motifs that reinvent themselves with every release. The sleeves, clips, and digital paintings are not mere illustrations but elements of a shared symbolic language. They accompany the music and render it legible as a complete sensory experience: a dialogue between light and matter, between opening and confinement, between world-dust and inner glow. This transmedia approach, where AI and manual craft coexist, is not mere technical experimentation but an artistic choice asserting that poetry can be produced as much by algorithms as by hands.

The heart of his universe is guided by a simple, ambitious thread: to traverse the inner space without imposing a fixed truth, offering tools for each listener to read their own path in sound and light. The journey is not a straight line but a living itinerary, oscillating between tension and reconciliation, between urgency and breath. In this frame, two poles stand as anchors: the blunt honesty of Bukowski and the mystical depth of Rilke. These voices, far from being imposed motifs, act as sparks that illuminate textures and tonalities: the former invites facing reality unmasked, the latter invites listening to the world with a near-sacred attention. Other voices—Jung, Watts, and McKenna—further nourish this thread, offering angles on the psyche, consciousness, and awakening.

The artist’s lexicon unfolds through recurring motifs: doors that open ajar, halos of light, spirals, and abstract structures. These motifs recur across all facets of his work—music, sleeves, clips, and digital paintings—and serve as a transversal language to articulate his universe. Their recurrence gives the whole a cohesive flow, like a book advancing chapter by chapter while remaining legible on every page.
