Mondkopf creates infinite landscapes where drones build and melt over desert dunes at dawn, while skies open with luminous expansion, folding into a constellation of stars.
Mondkopf, the brainchild of Paul Régimbeau, returns to Hands in the Dark with Waves, five years after his label debut, How Deep Is Our Love?. The French producer’s ninth album features two time-stretched, profoundly analog-textured pieces based on the physical and emotional swaying motion suggested by its title, recorded during concerts played in the summer of 2019.
The first track was performed at a secret gig in the Vincennes woods in Paris, accompanying a group of Sufi dancers led by Rana Gorgani, as part of a video project curated and filmed by Vincent Moon. It offers powerful harmonic drones, subtly building up and flourishing with intensity, accompanying the dancers as they push themselves to their limits.
The second piece, which extends the cosmic and lofty encounter, was played as the live soundtrack for a short documentary, Volcano: What Does a Lake Dream?, by filmmaker Diana Vidrascu, as part of the Walk & Talk festival in Ponta Delgada, Azores. Mondkopf's composition serves as an adventurous and reliable guide through three parts, perfectly complementing the vibrant imagery of the sea and volcanoes in the Portuguese archipelago.
