their work,
not the moment.

Tame Impala What Music Is Supposed to Look Like
Tame Impala's Deadbeat Tour in Munich, 2026. On synesthesia, Kevin Parker, the guitar riff that started it all, and a concert designed to show you what music is supposed to look like — not just sound like.
Alejandro Mosso: On the Slight Unfamiliarity and Finding Beauty in Sound
Berlin composer and producer Alejandro Mosso returns for a follow-up conversation — on art as biological necessity, the tension between control and surrender in the studio, two decades of sound, and why live electronic music matters more than ever.
DIGGIN'THRU JAPAN
Five years in the making. Five cities. Thirteen record stores. One profound question: what does it mean to keep a scene alive? Damien and Gautier Barras went to Japan to find out — and came back with something none of them expected.
INTERVIEW WITH MASOMENOS
They set up a temporary studio inside Hôtel Costes. Temporary became permanent. Three years on: eight albums, sixteen EPs, MidiMinuit — three days, zero rehearsals, all improvised in a Kreuzberg loft with a B-Steinway and a Studer console. Ricardo Villalobos has already claimed Glacial as the album of his dreams. Kirk Lightsey came at 80 and played with the enthusiasm of a newcomer.
“Visibility has never been our measure of significance. We seek out artists and inspiring individuals whose work sparks curiosity, challenges assumptions, and leaves a lasting impression.”
Every project, image, and story is about framing a series of questions that are deeply important to me as a human being.- Shirin Neshat
