In the records

STM 003 is a completely sincere musical selection which mirrors the author’s maturity and his love for oceans. Starting the mix with well-known extremely light Aphex Twin work “Avril 14th”, the artist invites the listener to relax and to start his journey into the sea. While the main atmosphere is created with sublime notes, mature and subtle key sounds recall such artists as Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto or John Cage. Just as being on the ocean lets one see everything from a different perspective, this selection reveals new sides of artists such as Kraftwerk, Orbital and Carl Craig. A striking, beautiful and light composition of Marsen Jules at the end of this selection simply confirms that the wholeness of this work is all about sublimity of nature and its harmony.

STM 003 is like a sparkling sea surface which invites an unexpected expedition into the Mariana Trench. This selection is a warm, hearty and mature story of the author’s unconditional love for the sea.
