An electroacoustic journey on the waterways of dreams. A beatless lullaby for the life-beaten souls. A soundescape from the city to the fields and recordings of those. An aural watercolour painting.

This is a redux studio version of the mix I played @ Watercolours open-air festival in Riga on 06.09.2014, and which was banned by Soundcloud for copyright reasons and available on Mixcloud only. 
   
Still, I kept thinking of finding a way to put it on Soundcloud, but a straightforward edit wasn't an option because taking the suppressed track out would ruin the dramaturgy of the mix; and actually, I was already considering reshaping the live take into a more refined studio version. So here it is: meticulously (re)constructed, multi-layered assemblage that still takes cues from momentary impulses of a live performance. I think it's one of the cases when an obstacle forces you to improve and achieve even better results than you originally were aiming for.

Colours of the Water

The main idea behind this mix was to create a soothing, positive sonic landscape to help me clear my mind. The mix avoids going into abstract or darker territories, and in my opinion has a rather friendly vibe to it.

It seemed like a good idea to share this with my Soundcloud friends. Please enjoy.

Peter Van Hoesen - Prismatic Wish - An Ambient Mix

Estonian composer Arvo Pärt wrote this piece for his friend’s daughter, Alina, in the same year I was born. Last night as I struggled to find comforting words for my daughter as I tucked her into bed, she asked me to play piano for her, as she often does, to help her drift off to sleep peacefully. Instinctively, yet unconsciously I chose this piece. -For Koen, for Alina, for all of our daughters.

Recorded November 9th, 2016 Tokyo, Japan

Für Alina (Arvo Pärt cover)

This work is poetically inspired by gravitational anomolies on the moon - in particular 5 landscapes known as Mares or “Seas”. The moon’s crust varies in mass due to impact craters and embedded asteroids. The additional mass results in spots of stronger gravity which have been  
mapped and calculated by NASA’s GRAIL mission. 

The piece is structured over five sections, each containing music intuitively abstracted from the varying landscapes and gravity observed on orbital paths over 5 of the moon’s Mares. 

The title refers to the stark lunar landscape as a “White Sea”,  the Mares being “Whirlpools” of  concentrated gravity encountered whilst traversing them from chosen orbits.

II. Mare Orientale - Eastern Sea
III. Mare Nubium - Sea of Clouds
IV. Mare Crisium - Sea of Crises
V. Mare Tranquillitatis - Sea of  Tranquility

e/tape @ 20ft Radio - 31/12/2019

The JAM ON THE MOON show is an hybrid performance combining musicians and DJs jamming together, broadcasted live inside Hôtel Costes from STUDIO HC. The intensity of live music creates a powerful vibe inside the hôtel and an exciting challenge for the musicians who know they are aired there.
This platform is inviting anyone who would feel compelled to jam this way: singers, drummers, pianists, poets…

The first session was recorded with pianist Julien Quentin, violist Adrien Boisseau, DJ e/tape and Adrien de Maublanc on modular synths.

Pluie/Noir Interscapes 01
"Imaginary Radio Stations"

Sound Mixed and Compiled by @evano & @cp-ak
Visual Interpretation by @maxbinski aka @cleymoore

Welcome to the new Pluie/Noir podcast series. 8 years after our debut we decided to press the reboot button and return to our roots. With a new format and back to a regular monthly schedule, Pluie/Noir Interscapes will feature audio collages, mixes, live interviews and live recordings from P/N artists, friends, and other collectives we admire. 

Because less is more, instead of the usual triptych format, this series will feature one single A3-A1 visual interpretation of the music by a graphic artist. The artwork will be available to purchase in poster format on our rebooted Bandcamp page very soon, with cassettes or CD-r of the mixes as a bonus. 

And because the P/N podcast series started with Evano, he'll do the honours once again, this time together with CP-AK. Visual interpretation by P/N's head honcho, Max Binski (aka Cleymoore). Enjoy.

Down Tempo - The 360 Online

Born in Berlin, raised in Paris @hotelcostes, and now expanding beyond borders.
STUDIO HC ORCHESTRA is a hybrid entity -part studio, part label, part ever-evolving ensemble founded by Joan Costes and 
Adrien de Maublanc (Masomenos)...A living orchestra without fixed form, shaped by collaborations, textures, light, and places.
It started in Berlin, then disappeared behind the construction dust of Hôtel Costes, where everything  grew quietly, in the in-between.
A studio carved into a building in transformation.
Music composed among unfinished walls, flickering bulbs, and dichroic filtered shadows. Private sessions in a space not yet meant to be seen — or heard. That’s where the orchestra found its voice.
Where silence, texture, and light became instruments in their own right layered not only with sound and silence, but with voices:
Terence McKenna, Aldous Huxley, Graham Hancock thinkers who challenge perception, decode the dream, the orchestra doesn’t just play.It listens, samples, reinterprets, and invites.
In the future: live conversations, unscripted dialogues with minds that bend the frame. This is not a genre. It’s a frequency. An invitation to tune in. Every contributor - sonic, visual, intellectual- part of the composition.
