Calma Tensa is a project rooted in the desire to blend the slow, dark rhythms of the past with today's electronic subculture. It's not about reaching the masses; instead, it's a dedicated journey tailored for those who resonate with this distinctive style.

This project was born from an inquisitive spirit, a passion for crafting new sonic experiences, and years of immersion in electronic music. It's about experimentation, and continuous learning.

"Inner Walk" represents an exploration of inner emotions, a path of self-discovery, and the freedom to connect through music.

Heart, dance, connection to alternate realities – these are the essence of Calma Tensa. You are what you listen to.

Enjoy

“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” a sage modernist poet previously whispered. And here we go, far out and yet so near, the third edition of “Risks Issues Opportunities” brings frontier reverberations scratching at the edges of dance, pop, downbeat, and other trance- portive sectors. Eight fast/slow propelling tracks. Adventurous, full of grandeur, gratifying the dance floor while equally winning the relaxation zones. Pure emotions crafted by newcomers. There is Milan’s Tagliabue, trancing slow and insightful. Or Cologne’s Grischerr, eloquently Tolouse-Low-Traxing. Some go down the slow burning road, where rhythms hang low, and suspense is in full show. Like London’s Frank Rodas, Garnu Depot from Iran, or Xei Ju from the islands of Micronesia, striking all ears with ghostly transcendental percussive science. An autumnally global voyage, which likewise offers industrialized districts by Italian producer Federico Cassetta, Metropolis minimal wave pop by Japanese musician Saeko Killy, or odd swamp funk by Chilean/German duo 7697 Miles. They all show, how far you can go, without losing your distinct flow.

Eftersom is a musical trio comprised of Jérôme Darmois, Anna Masurel (Ravage Sentimental) and Chris Vella(Modern Romance); 3 kindred creatives who have maintained a fruitful bond despite the disparate locations in which they live. Operating from Lyon, The Atlantic Coast and whichever waters Jérome choses to dock his aquatic abode in - they remained glued by a marrow-deep appreciation for music.

With 'Lie', the trio make their hotly anticipated return toLuLúxpo's Paradise Children with the long-player successor to 'Tourne Tourne' - a forerunning single that was released on the French label in March alongside remixes from Niv Ast, Mufti, Radial Gaze and Ravage Sentimental herself. Lie showcases the groups efflorescence as it blooms beautifully across a cogent collection of
novellas; 13 contrapuntal chapters that recall the defiant energy of 90s Ed Banger, the amorous allure of Gainsbourg and the fractal polyphony of Pink Floyd.

The title track uses broad strokes and flicks to splash colour across a lucent opener. Here, a thread is sewn which is weaved and braided into delicate and delicious pop, irresistible Indie and raw, restive Electro.Lie is punctuated by breakdowns which travel down with an energy that pulls the album forwards.

'Chambre 9' acts as a perfect stop-gap; a drunk-swung interlude with guitars that gallop in a languid fashion as if being pulled along by sharp, flexing synth blobs. Staccato strikes and sizzling feedback signals bubble from the surface that steam rising from a swamp as the stage is set for more snappy grooves and cinematic passages.

'High' channels 80's synth-pop as melodies soar and cascade, steadily forging a tunnel through the mind's eye while Anna's feather-light vocals are draped over the track like lace. The beaming lazers and of 'Sorry Not Sorry' and 'A Future Made Of Sand' are then fired from a warbling, dystopian sound-bed as the album winds down towards it's conclusion.

This is an accomplished artwork - one that reaches back across France's rich electronic music history and continues the tradition of creating electronic patchworks that soundtrack club nights and movie sequences with equal efficacy.

This is the Vocalite's journey to the stars.

The Vocalite know only one goal: to achieve it together.
After the first two parts, this track brings the short sci-fi saga 
about this enigmatic race to a close for now. If you're interested, 
there may be more tracks featuring them.

This track is about shaping the Vocalite's energies and pursuing a common goal. 
All voices and chords work in harmony, but are disrupted by galactic dissonances. 
Undeterred, the Vocalite always find each other and gather energy to overcome all 
adversity with their solo voices.

But, back to the Story:

In a distant nebula of sound, the Vocalites were born. They were not bodies, but voices — pure streams of tone and color drifting through the cosmos. Each Vocalite carried a unique resonance: some bright and crystalline, others deep and warm like starlight filtered through dust. Together they shaped a single track, a living composition woven out of their shared energy and their shared purpose.

This track was about shaping the Vocalite’s energies and pursuing a common goal.
They wanted to build a bridge of harmony that could be heard across galaxies, a beacon for every lost signal and lonely echo in the void.

At first, all voices and chords worked in perfect harmony. Waves of sound spiraled around one another, forming radiant chords that shimmered like auroras in space. The Vocalites blended so seamlessly that no one could tell where one voice ended and the next began.

But the universe was not silent. From the dark between stars, galactic dissonances emerged — harsh, fractured tones that sliced through the music. They twisted harmonies, bent notes out of tune, scattered the Vocalites into distant corners of the track. For a moment, it seemed the song would dissolve into chaos.

Yet the Vocalites were not afraid. Undeterred, they listened for each other in the static. A single tone rose — a soft, solitary note calling out into the noise. Another answered. Then another. Little by little, the scattered voices found each other again, their frequencies aligning like stars returning to a constellation.

They gathered energy with every reunion. Each Vocalite stepped forward with its solo voice — clear, fearless, and unmistakably its own. One by one, their solos cut through the dissonance, not by destroying it, but by reshaping it. The harsh tones bent, softened, and eventually folded into the greater harmony.

The track did not return to what it had been before; it became something greater.

Now, woven through the music, you can hear scars and triumphs, fractures and fusions — all carried by the Vocalites who refused to be separated. Together, their solo voices rise and fall, proving that even in a universe full of discord, they can always find each other, gather their strength, and overcome all adversity with their song.

Thanks  for your inspiration and support.
