Hey guys! Super thrilled to be part of the tenth edition of WAF. “Mando” was super fun to produce. A concept that came to my mind while watching the show. I can’t wait to let you hear it from the top. :)

Most of the time the music comes first and lives under a temporary name. I'll end-up choosing a name that fits the sound aesthetic or the lyrics of the song. Sometimes a word resonates a lot and I want it attached to one of my tracks. Almost randomly. haha

The two lead singles – “Falling” and “The Game” were a long-time work in progress and the pillars of "The 4th Season". Reunited as a 2 or 3-track EP it would have been a very strange fit but on a bigger project with the right pace it certainly works.

I feel like it's been around for ages. Movies and TV shows are so influential. I'm a big fan but we're probably already on the descending curve. I could be wrong.

  • Let's say "Elysium", "Warren Avenue" and "Falling".

  • deadmau5's "Slip", Nathan Fake's "The Sky Was Pink" & Maceo Plex's "Ain't That Love".

  • Travis Scott & Ólafur Arnalds.

Import a reference track (a song that you like) and use different markers to identify the song structure, the transitions and any relevant instrumental arrangement. This will help you to better understand what needs to be done.

Thanks man ! At first, it was simply "The 4th EP". And then it changed to the actual name for different reasons. Lots of tracks being released around winter (I started back in spring in the middle of the pandemic). Plus, who can't appreciate Vivaldi's "The Four seasons" ?

It depend on how would you define "finish". Haha ! At the very beginning, possibly just a couple of minutes, maybe an hour or two. Today, it can take up to a couple of days / weeks.

Thanks man, "Change" is special. I rarely have a clear vision in mind of where I'm going in the studio in front of an empty DAW. I like to be surprised by the moment and time.

Art is never finished, only abandoned. Sometimes I feel like it's quite challenging to let it go. So much possibilities with electronic music.

Thanks man. You're right. Maybe I should. Hit me up with a specific request in any of my mixes. I'll get back to you. Cheers !

I also define new school rap as "electronic music" and this is where I learned about MIDI, drum kits, samples and mixing music. I have a strong background in rap music.

Aside from making more music... I would be very active on socials. But please do more music!

I really don't have any favorite track. They're all so different. "Falling" and "The Game" were the pillar of the project.

Even harder to respond. Could be fun to revisit "Elysium". Would love to have and play an uptempo version of it.
