Dorian Mastin, a musician and sound designer, offers a distinctive musical expression characterized by a melancholy and narrative quality. He has been involved in various musical endeavors and bands. Later, he lived in Guadalajara, Mexico, for 15 years, during which time he immersed himself in the creative industries as a sound designer, videogame producer, and academic.

In early 2023, after several ateliers with new bandmates, he decided to record an extract. "Works of Fragments" at Double Sharp Studio captures a 30-minute live session, executed within a brief span of a couple of hours, with post-produced arrangements. Dorian Mastin's musical pieces are progressive, incorporating sound improvisations and loops. The compositions strictly maintain instrumental spaces, where empty and full sound movements alternate. The absence of vocals enables the avoidance of the conventional verse-chorus structure, allowing Dorian Mastin and his bandmates the necessary time to immerse themselves, construct a sonic ambiance, and approach the musical proposals with sensitivity.

After returning to France with the recorded tracks from the Works and Fragments EP, he edited and added arrangements before releasing it earlier in 2024.

He is currently collaborating with new teammates on fresh material in a similar style, under the name The Common Pulse.
