about the cassette

Featuring composers from Brussels, Los Angeles, Braga, Nagoya, St-Jean de Luz, and Limoges, the compilation showcases bright, digital-leaning music across two distinct parts: one focused on ambient and new-age sounds, the other on atmospheric and dub-inspired textures. Together, they form a surprisingly cohesive whole.

“When my roommate Victor suggested making a compilation called Musique des Alliés, after our street, la Rue des Alliés, I was immediately excited by the idea of a shared effort by like-minded people scattered around the world—mostly oblivious allies and total strangers. I find the final result remarkably coherent, united solely by Victor’s sensitive curation.

I like to imagine every musician on this compilation living somewhere along Rue des Alliés, and this tape as a perpetual concert at our house, its door open to anyone curious enough to listen.”
