Some excerpts from tracks made using Karplus Strong methods on the Yamaha EX-5.

EX-5 Karplus-Strong demos

Autumn is slowly setting in — my favorite season (also my birthday month).

Here's the first part of a mix recorded on the occasion of the first edition of Man de Lutz, an exhibition showcasing artisans and designers from the Occitanie region, set in the countryside of Montesquieu-Volvestre. 

I can still feel the warmth of the sun, the wind blowing, the tracks flowing and resonating, like drifting into the sky.
It was a very sweet, intimate, and healing moment.

I wanted to share a delicate and peaceful selection for this last Sunday of August, to soothe a pretty painful end of summer.
Still, it was a fulfilling summer — with wonderful meetings, and plenty of music and celebrations that really nourished me.

Enjoy listening, take care. 

crying is softer than you think w/ Mari: 12th October '25

in the half-sleep: a voice 
not anyone’s, just sound. 
what it touches, it mirrors
 learning to name itself.

a throat opens — 
to hum through bone
 to say nothing correctly.  

we coexist as opposites 
in our mother tongue, dreaming
 the things we were never meant to touch.

there is a channel 
between pulse and sentence —
 a being moving through 
the being that once answered to me.

to feel and not own the feeling, 
each of us made visible 
by the other.

Ten years after her first release, electronic musician Mor Elian presents her debut album Solid Space. Showing her full artistic range, the LP drifts between dream-like listening states and experimental club spaces. Written during her pregnancy, these compositions arrived in emotional, unfiltered bursts. Solid Space brings together ambient textures, early IDM structures, and experimental electronics, with distant, hazy vocals converging into a single, subconscious flow. It is released by adventurous electronic music label topo2 on November 28, 2025. The record is pressed on 180 grams of ICCS-certified bio-vinyl, housed in a heavy full-colour sleeve, and comes with a download-code to the full release. Mastering is done by Ike Zwanikken, Mixing by Gramrcy, artwork courtesy of Kees de Klein, and poetry written by Eelco Couvreur. Additional production and mixing on track 7 by Carrier.

Drawing a coherent link between various influences, @geinst joins Never Late with Hiber Trace where his analog-driven productions expand and contract time and space. The clear consideration for detail combined with an essence of tight timing and drawn delays, sets the groundwork for this EP. The accompanying artwork reflects not only the music but keeps a connection to the human element, which is a common thread throughout his work. Stark rhythms take us on twists and turns with abundant drops of surprises throughout. One is only left asking: where will he take us now?

Beyond Layers arrives with a purpose we are but to discover. All there is to do is let oneself be guided by the soundscape that Gëinst creates. From the first moment we hear the intention behind every current, every beat, every silence. It envelopes us, introducing a profound space wherein which we can land and take off from, guiding us deliberately with finely tuned clicks, hums and hisses. Murmurs opens with a mélange of calmness and suspense. Building on the soft syncopated rhythms, a muted voice reminds us we are not alone. This nicely preempts Hiber Trace, the EP namesake emerging as a crisp track with a steadily evolving groove. Muted hi-hats, snares, and kicks are balanced with strong drumbeats that travel through the body, activating muscles to contract with the same frequency. Euphoria introduces yet deeper elements as though now passing through an ancestral forest. Organic sounds, resembling digeridoos and croaks like those of frogs on the forest floor, are accompanied by a surge carrying us to the next destination – Mugen, where we are greeted by a focused drum ensemble to be overtaken by stretches of lasers whispering echoes of spatial descents – until finishing as brusquely as it began. Still within the same realm, we experience the power of Labyrinth. This may be the most intricate track of the EP, summing all the previous ones into a final, powerful crescendo. Delicious drone drops preempt a soft closing allowing us to find a moment to return with a gentle landing. Exquisite.
