Recording sounds during his travels, Dune composes electronic music like assembling a puzzle.

In « Land Scrapes », Dune gathers sounds and ideas from his life in Canada during a year.
Each track is deeply rooted to a place, inspired by the resonance of that specific space where the components of the track were recorded.
Thus, the name of the release : « Land Scrapes ».

All tracks were recorded and composed in Canada between June 2022 and July 2023.
Except « Ooo Ooo (Wind) » and « Honeysuckle (Find a Way) » recorded and composed in Chauveheid, Belgium in 2020.

And « Komagata Maru » recorded in Jaisalmer, India in 2017 and composed in Chauveheid, Belgium in 2020.

***

« Recording noise and sound, immersing myself in my surroundings, capturing the cities, the forest, the sea…

Living and travelling for a year in Canada has giving me the opportunity to get inspired by its beautiful landscapes.
Most of all, I was brought up by this peculiar Canadian creativity where anything seems possible which has induced the creation of this release.

Dedicated to Hadelin Hainaut, my grand father, who never fully understood what I was doing but, in any circumstance, has supported it. »
