Mon Prisme

Dusty, sample-heavy boom bap from a young poet in Paris. A raw and unpolished snapshot of insomnia, urban isolation, and existential searching.

It's like reading a stranger's diary while riding the last metro train home.

A restless, nocturnal meditation on urban isolation and the search for meaning in the gray spaces of Paris.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The claustrophobic, ticking percussion on Insomnie that mimics the frantic heartbeat of a sleepless night.

The transition into the title track Mon Prisme where the production strips down to its most skeletal, vulnerable form.

The way the piano loop on Pluie d'été feels slightly out of tune, heightening the sense of seasonal displacement.
