In the studio with 4T Thieves
“… there’s no point in wasting a lot of time on a track which obviously isn’t going to work, the listeners can hear it’s not been fun to work on…”
Studios
Since 2014, our select artists have been sharing their studio setup, working environment, favourite hardware, the process of composition and much more... Look inside!!!
In the studio with Gimmik
“… I do not have a concrete strategy. I would say it is more philosophy. I try to avoid too much knowledge; that way, I can keep up a playful approach…”
In the studio with Robot Koch
“… I really embrace the warbly unsteadiness of tapes, the intentional sound degradation, and focus on deeply textural stuff…”
In the studio with Olivia Belli
“… what I seek is to be like an empty vase that I fill by observing and exploring…”
In the studio with Abraham Fogg
“… I’m looking for objects with a story, linked to various people. Every tool I keep is linked to personal memories or has had a previous life…”
In the studio with Tomat
“… continuous modulation of all the parameters can create incredible sounds, cover an incredible spectrum of frequencies with wide presence, dynamics, and precision…”
In the studio with Stimming
“… I try not to force myself or become afraid of not finding what I need. Very often things just need a bit of time and a fresh mind…”
In the studio with Idlefon
“… the liberating quality of experimentation is still what excites me the most…”
In the studio with Heliochrysum
“… we are always trying to tell a story or create a cinematic adventure or experience in our work, and sound design is a huge part of how we create mood and atmosphere…”
In the studio with Gaspar Claus
“… sometimes I hear something […] and I get inspired by its energy and try to find a way to approach it with my instrument…”
In the studio with Midori Hirano
“… it gives me joy in making some analog sounds… it’s always a great moment for me to be away from a computer, which I already heavily rely on…”
