about

The EP De Ave Phoenice is a piece of work inspired by the medieval poem of the same name, recounting the cycle of birth, death and resurrection of the phoenix. Musically, it builds bridges between baroque and hyperpop, two genres born three centuries apart, but both based on expressive and melodic exuberance. Baroque «Contrepoint», a composition technique which develops several simultaneous melodies, is integrated here into a maximalist approach to pop music, where codes and effects are saturated and pushed to their climax.

stelios.exe is a Marseille-based producer working at the crossroads of musical traditions and contemporary practices. Coming from a training in medieval, renaissance and baroque music, he operates in his work a sound synthesis between ancestral composition techniques and radical electronic sound design. He thus questions the place of music in our cultural heritage and pleads for the invention of new rites and sensory experiences. The musician’s approach is part of the queer movement: it seeks to break down barriers between genres and merge influences considered popular with so-called «intellectual» concepts. Counting among its influences Oneohtrix Point Never, Arca, or even Rameau and Bach, stelios.exe is an experimental laboratory, a manifesto for going beyond pre-established rules.

***

"Reminding the intense and darker synth moments from vets like Andy Stott or Oneothrix Point Never, this majestic piece could be the perfect soundtrack for an imaginary documentary 3D picture of a world constantly in flames. If the past is our nemesis, can we get rid of it somehow?" - Couvre x Chefs
