Hello, I'm Laurent Colson, composer and producer of electronic music. My sound moves between Ambient, Chillwave, Synthwave, Darkwave, and sometimes Witch House, creating immersive soundscapes that don't fit into a strict genre.
Over the years, my music has become increasingly introspective and cinematic. What matters to me is atmosphere, emotional continuity, and the feeling of stepping into self-contained worlds that exist slightly outside of time, both futuristic and nostalgic.
Looking back, my path has never been linear or strategic. I have always worked independently, following intuition rather than trends. Increasingly, the visual is becoming an inseparable extension of sound. I am drawn to capturing moments of motion and stillness from life, where image and sound become the same inner journey.
Technology has always been at the core of my creative process. Beyond music, I've also been a musical software developer since the early 1990s, which allows me to design tools I can use in my own creative process. I love designing my own sounds, whether with hardware or software synthesizers. The voices I use in my creations are mainly synthetic. I've developed my own way of creating these voices by taking micro-fragments of vocal sounds from different sources, then manually manipulating and restructuring them note by note to create a new emotion, a melody that most of the time contains no real words, just emotion. I consider these voices as an instrument I play.
In the late 2000s, remixing became a way for me to step inside someone else's emotional world and respond to it. I've reworked tracks by artists I deeply respect: "Tricky Tricky" and "Oh, Lover" by Röyksopp, "Mercy" by Alice Offley, "Nude" by Radiohead, "Amazonia" by Deep Forest, "My Emily" by Anneli Drecker.
Today, I continue to explore where sound and image meet, composing music as fragments of lonely worlds suspended between what was and what might be.
