Adrien d'Elzius is a Belgian producer in the business of staying true to himself. While growing up, he was introduced to Aphex Twin signature which astounded and convinced him that he had found the kind of music he would continue to embrace. Additionally, he drew his influence from the Warp, Rephlex, and Planet Mu labels.

Formerly known as hosmOz, the forward-thinking musician entered a creative hiatus to remedy his symptoms of artistic turmoil. He honed his technique by creating melodic acid drill'n'bass sounds, which evolved into a darker sound. After debugging his creative intentions, he dropped his old nickname and the Adrien d'Elzius project was born.

2021 marks his debut on Burial Soil Records with an EP including collaborations with two electro masterminds, Umwelt and Lloyd Stellar. He has since been releasing in the good hands of prestigious labels such as Pyramid Transmissions, Arkada, Diffuse Reality, and Colony Productions. His approach to production demonstrates his technical proficiency and meticulous attention to details. The producer now combines his knowledge in sound design to create music that flows between Idm, electronica, electro, acid and hip-hop, while bringing back his love for melodies and deep atmosphere.
The Artist will be performing in The Hague next to iNDEX crew, which comes along with a forthcoming album for 2022 called “The storm will pass".

This track was inspired by the Xian, the eight immortals of Taoism.

From Wikipedia:
Xian (Chinese: 仙/仚/僊; pinyin: xiān; Wade–Giles: hsien) refers to a person or similar entity having a long life or being immortal. The concept of xian has different implications dependent upon the specific context: philosophical, religious, mythological, or other symbolic or cultural occurrence. The Chinese word xian is translatable into English as:

(in Daoist philosophy and cosmology) spiritually immortal; transcendent human; celestial being
(in Daoist religion and pantheon) physically immortal; immortal person; an immortal; saint
(in Chinese alchemy) alchemist; one who seeks the elixir of life; one who practices longevity techniques
(or by extension) alchemical, dietary, or qigong methods for attaining immortality
(in Chinese mythology) wizard; magician; shaman; sorcerer
(in popular Chinese literature) genie; elf, fairy; nymph; 仙境 (xian jing is fairyland, faery)
(based on the folk etymology for the character 仙, a compound of the characters for person and mountain) sage living high in the mountains; mountain-man; hermit; recluse
(as a metaphorical modifier) immortal [talent]; accomplished person; celestial [beauty]; marvelous; extraordinary
(In new-age conception) seeker who takes refuge in immortality (longevity for the realization of divinity); transcended person [self] recoded by the "higher self"; divine soul; fully established being

‘Plateau’ is a auditory time-lapse history of Scotland’s Cairngorm high plateau. It is composed of four sections corresponding to the fluctuations of cold (Stadial) and warmer (Interstadial) climatic conditions: 

(1) The Last Glacial Maximum / (Late) Dimlington Stadial (27,000 to 16,000 BP)
(2) The Late-Glacial Interstadial (c.14,670 to 12,900 BP)
(3) The Loch Lomond Stadial (12,900 to 11,700 BP) 
(4) The early Holocene (11,700 to c.9,000 BP)

‘Plateau’ is part of ‘Looking Up’, a research project focusing on the post-glacial landscape, archaeology and heritage of the Scottish Uplands, led by Sam Kelley (University College of Dublin, School of Earth Sciences), Graeme Warren (University College Dublin, School of Archaeology) and Alice Doughty (University of Maine, School of Earth and Climate Sciences). 

The technique used to determine the timing of deglaciation on the high plateau involved project scientists collecting samples of rock containing quartz grains — a common mineral that is resistant to weathering. The rock samples were crushed, pulverised, sieved and sorted, before being subject to magnetic and mineral separation in order to isolate the quartz grains which contain ‘cosmogenic nuclides’ from the other minerals that make up the rock. In turn, these nuclides provided a direct means of timing their prehistoric exposure to cosmic radiation as the overlying cover of ice finally melted. In total, these samples give us a picture in space and time of the former glaciers in the Cairngorms in the face of warming post-glacial climate.

This process of sample collection and analysis directly informed the composition of ‘Plateau’. Stones from the locality were collected and their surface interactions recorded at high frequency sample rates. The resulting waveforms were then subjected to granular analysis, so that ‘single-cycle waveforms’ displaying tonal characteristics could be isolated and extracted. These grains of sound became the foundation of the musical composition.

‘Looking Up: the future of early prehistoric heritage in Europe’s mountains’ is funded by the Irish Research Council’s COALESCE programme 2021–2023 (IRC COALESCE/2021/78) and is coordinated by University College Dublin’s School of Archaeology and School of Earth Sciences, with partners in University of Maine, Purdue University (both USA) and Aberdeenshire County Council.

"Greetings from Astridplein" is my recent collaboration with composer Matthew Shlomowitz and guitarist Tom Pauwels. Made for BBC radio 3, this work took an interesting turn when the three of us felt it would be constructive for the piece if I musically produce and transform it into a ("musical") radio play. Adding field recordings, cutting and re-editing the material (with full respect to the score), envisioning the sound of each guitar channel and then mixing and mashing them up into a new "cinematic" creation were in a sense a chance for me to discover a new territory within the world of interpretation.
