Our podcast series continues. Today I want to share with you another immersive journey, all tracks are written and produced by this month’s guest: Medulla Oblongata.
Based in Nancy, Florent is a distinct DJ who thrives in his musical habitat, navigating between ambient sounds and the mesmerizing beats of techno. His performances are invitations to mesmerizing experiences, enticing dancers to lose themselves in the music.
‘’ This is a live performance created for the 'Open Source' event organized by the TRÊVE and GRAVE collectives in Nancy, France. It was composed during the ongoing genocide in Gaza. The ethnic cleansing happening with the complicity of Western governments, including my own, deeply distresses me. As an artist, I find it impossible to promote my music without addressing this situation. Several tracks in the live performance were specifically composed for this occasion. The live recording will be available on my Bandcamp as a 'name-your-price' release, with 100% of the proceeds donated to UNRWA.’’
‘’ In the live performance, you can hear that the more the cassette is played, the more the tape becomes damaged, reminiscent of the poignant 'Disintegration Loops' by William Basinski. I view this unfortunate occurrence as a poignant metaphor for my mood during these tragic times."
Recently, Medulla Oblongata has brought together the talents of around twenty established artists from the ambient, deep techno, and techno scenes to create a compilation album (V/A). All proceeds from this compilation will be donated to ‘’The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA)''. The release of the compilation is scheduled for early December 2023.
We hope you'll enjoy the ride by Medulla Oblongata.
