IndieRE 2.0
#84: Paris' Subterranean Sonic Alchemy
Sendetermin 01.11.2023 16:00 bis 16:55
Mellow sounds with gloomy overtones, blurring the frontier between the organic and the synthetic. This is how you could describe a certain slice of Paris' contemporary musical underground, spearheaded by DIY producers and leftfield labels alike. Tonight's episode of RadioMuse, produced by Radio Campus Paris in collaboration with Planisphère, shines light where darkness lingers, namely in the music of Morfine, Didem Coskunseven and the duo Omer.
--
Morfine is one of the aliases of Estelle Morfin. Combining activities as an artist, radio host, DJ, label founder and journalist, she has released two EPs under the name Roman Delore, as well as the album Blinding Nights as Morfine. The first song you're about to hear is called Shapes.
Didem Coskunseven is a composer, sound designer and musician from Istanbul who studied composition at the University of California in Berkeley. Now based in Paris, she studies composition and computer music at Ircam while creating works as influenced by modal jazz than by contemporary ambient music.
Omer is the duo of Tristan Hamelin Foulon and Jason Bancilhon. On their first album Polyphon, they translate bird song into a score, put a piano through autotune and experiment with musical traditions ranging from Erik Satie to German industrial pioneers Einstürzende Neubauten.
Created in 2018 with the goal of bringing into the spotlight up-and-coming artists of the experimental music scene, Planisphère organises underground events and releases albums and EPs by new and inventive artists. While experimentation is a guiding principle in sound as well as image, their aesthetic spectrum is deliberately large. Abrasive techno sits alongside intimate folk, ambient and noise neighbour jazz and space rock.

Information zur Sendereihe
IndieRE 2.0 – Independent Radio Exchange – is an extension of the project of the same name between 2019 and 2022. The new project continues to promote local urban music at a wider European level and to strengthen the competences of cultural workers in the field of music. It aims to enhance the cross-border exchange of non-commercial and independent music and to promote various lesser-known genres of European music.
8 European community radios & networks will expand your musical horizon with a total of 88 broadcasts, presenting musical highlights of their respective independent scene & a unique song gets special attention with the “featured song” segment.
Listen up as our musical exchange around Europe will start in February & tune in and support your local subculture scene!
Until the new project-series starts we will listen back to some of the broadcasts of the former projects.
