Everyone has his bible/coran/torah/whatever, ours is @jean-yves-leloup 's "Ambient Music" book.
We are so happy to welcome his musical alter today.

DJ and sound artist with Radiomentale and Quiet Voices, Jean-Yves Leloup was also, as a journalist, one of the privileged witnesses of the emergence of the electro movement, which he echoed through articles, radio shows and books, including Ambient Music (2021), Techno 100 (2018), Global Techno (1999) and Digital Magma: from the utopia of rave parties to the iPod generation (2006).
As a curator, he leads numerous projects at the intersection of art and music, such as the listening devices The Listener (2017) and Audiolab (2001-2003), and the exhibitions Electrosound (2016) and Electro (2019-2022).
RadioMentale's latest album "The Landscape Melts Into Itself" was released in 2021 by Irradiant Hologram.
Quiet Voices' ep "Hantologies", will be released in March 2022 by Sähkö Recordings.

This renowned French techno producer, known as Manuel-M, is also the author of three ambient albums, Endurance (2008), Thirty (2016) and the newly released Forest (2022), whose serenity, cinematic atmospheres, drones and long synthetic complaints evoke the majestic landscapes that adorn the covers of his records.

The piece is based on a hypnotic loop, taken from a fragment of a classical music orchestra chord, the sound of which is largely reworked. As the composition progresses, other patterns, including inverted sounds, appear to create a sense of movement, waves, and a slight confusion.For me, the progression of "Clair Obscur" could evoke a human figure, in the grip of some kind of blockage, impasse, but also of reset. As if trying to progress against the elements, to swim against the tide, while gaining ground step by step. The bass settles in to support this desire to progress, one melody answers another to create a dialogue. Then longer notes come in to guide the evolution of the whole piece.I wanted to express this need to keep moving forward. That despite the pitfalls, life goes on. That we must move forward. That we are our own unique driving force.

Ambient is a refuge. It's a space where I get more intimate, a place where I can express my different feelings. For me there is always a duality between light and shadow. A sort of in-between, a grey area where everything is mixed up. A combination of contemplation and introspection. In my latest pieces, I try to add a brighter side to explore new horizons, but without letting go of my inner emotions, my own experience. When it comes to listening to ambient music, I enjoy the eclectic and varied sound universes that artists are proposing today. Many of them have a beautiful musical world, with very strong concepts. This music adapts to many contexts. I think that we have never heard as much as we do today. Both consciously, with active and attentive listening, and in the background in film music, documentaries, in an exhibition...

Luc Bydon aka. Prōtokol is a French musician, composer, performer, dj and one of Échosystème’s co-founder. In 2017, back in Paris, he launched the Planisphère, an experimental music label and radio show. Today, his music falls somewhere between ambient, electronica and techno. In 2020, he released his first EP of electronic music "Lueur crépusculaire", on his  label. He followed it up with a ambient EP this time " Kowuq: Prolegomena" where his work focuses on the elasticity of time.

A sneak preview of a particularly vibrant French ambient scene. Here we discover both renowned and emerging artists. This hour-long mix reflects the spirit of the French scene, as well as the aesthetic diversity of the genre itself: field recording, noise, spoken word and long atmospheric sonic layers.

Ambient is a genre that anyone can tame, interpret, reshape and enrich. Ambient is not easily defined, because everyone has their own approach to the subject. Almost half a century after Brian Eno's Discreet Music, ambient music is no longer truly discreet - it's omnipresent in our lives. Ambient music gently lulls us and invites us to take an inner journey. It encourages concentration and even has therapeutic virtues. It can be as gentle as it is violent, as naive as it is complex, as meditative as it is political.

Deserts are quieter than any other habitat type, owing to naturally high atmospheric attenuation rates and a pronounced absence of echoes.  This makes for a perfect setting to emotionally challenge your audiences with sound design strategies unique to this habitat, even omitting sounds of distant visual events.
