For our next mood talk, we spoke with Siberian-born, Moscow-based musician and composer Maria Teriaeva. This summer, she has released her second album called Conservatory of Flowers. The album is the culmination of a three-year-long period of experimentation with the revered Buchla instrument. We talk about her relation between music, mood and smell, and have a little peek into her record collection.
This mood talk takes us all the way to Tallinn, Estonia. We spoke with Valentin, a dedicated record collector, globetrotter and driving force behind the recently-launched Hidden Harmony Recordings. The artists featured in the label’s roster so far hail from Canada, Russia and Argentina. A proof that music knows no borders.
Hailing from Brussels, Fabien Leclercq – a.k.a. Le Motel – has been a driving force of the Belgian underground scene. He put together a mood list of his top 10 all-time favorite contemplative albums
Setting the right mood is at the heart of everything we do. As mood is right in their name, we thought it would be a perfect match for us to collaborate with PIET Moodshop for the perfect playlist that fits the mood. We couldn’t be happier that Christophe, founder of PIET Moodshop, thinks so too!
Our next mood talk takes us all the way to Düsseldorf. We spoke with Stefan Schneider, the driving force behind multi-faceted label TAL who also makes music himself as Mapstation. With TAL, Stefan has literally travelled all around the world in search for sound.
We spoke with LA-born and Amsterdam-based Diego Herrera about his dreams of being in a band and how much of the music he makes is driven simply by his desire to experiment and try new things. We have much to thank dublab for paving the path. Since then, it’s been surely a hell of a ride. He moved halfway across the world to pursue music for a living.
Making music out of landscapes and memories, Mary expresses all sorts of moods with her harp, almost making it sound like a language of its own. Her dream is to score a full-length film and one day we’re already looking forward to her collaboration with William Basinski.
