Rêve - Møme (feat. Flo The Kid)

'Keep your mind open ‘cause that's a best seller' - The Word is spread

Dealer De Musique Recordings ~ Møme Aloha EP

Jeremy Souillard, aka Møme, presents a mix between the electronic French Touch and the Australian Chillwave. 

Two styles that are quite similar, both using sampling, and looping (popularised by Daft Punk in the 90's) techniques. Though, the Chillwave offers a lighter ambiance, balancing sung sections and notable pop sounds.

In his new EP, Aloha, Rêve makes the difference. The sound is fresh, driven by the beat, carried on by Flo The Kid's flow. The union of two styles that expresses joy, and carefreeness is a blessing for our ears.

Giovanna 4ever

Giovanna Battaglia, is, for me, the living embodiment of style. Her style is the perfect balance between simplicity, boldness, elegance and femininity. She represents the purest form of Fashion and Style. She is my inspiration and my role model.

In case of doubt I ask myself WWGD ? (what would Giovanna do ?)

Then I met You...

Now and then, I take time to look back on my life, on how and why I have ended up here and there.

When I look back, I see pain, suffering, rejection, many mistakes, and inevitably many heartaches. Of course, I also see some good experiences, but I’ve noticed that it’s not what drove me where I am today. My most painful ‘adventures’ are the ones that pushed me out of my comfort zone and represented my greatest challenges. I have always thought that success was achieved through pain and suffering. I have understood, recently, that, in order to pursue and attain self-achievement, success and to love oneself, you need to find the right balance between adversity and encouragement; happiness is a subtle mix between struggling by yourself and having a comforting support. I understand now. I wasn’t actually rejected from good stuff in the past, I was actually redirected to be exactly where I am suppose to be right now, which is even better.

How did I get to this mental epiphany ? well, it comes down to one simple sentence “and then I met you”.

To A. you are my best ‘meeting’, thank you for being here, for being you, and for your unconditional support.

 

Dear Dave, Kurt & Kris,

Dear Dave, Kurt and Kris,

I have so much to tell you guys, about what you taught me, about the importance you had, and still, have on my life. You have been there, when no one else has.

I would never underline enough the importance and impact that you and Nirvana have always had on my life. In my darkest times, when I was feeling crushed by peer pressure and judgment, when I was feeling so weird, different, and alone; that I would have questioned the whole purpose of my presence on earth and the importance of being a singular human being, you were there ! I just had to listen to you, read about you or look at pictures of you and, all at once, my solitude was peopled. I have always felt like you were my friends, if though I don’t know you and you don’t know me. You’ve saved me countless time, and you taught me that it’s important to embrace my differences, to don’t be ashamed of who I was. 

Through you, your musical strength, the fact that you gave all you had, your whole body and soul, to your music, I was able to catch a breath of fresh air. By proxy, all my anger and sadness went away. Without knowing, you have always been there for me when I needed. You were my voice, you were my comforting presence, and you were my resourceful support. For me you didn’t just represent Nirvana, you embodied the perfect example of judgment free friendship, and unconditional love. Every now and then, when I’m feeling down, I isolate myself and I go for a Nirvana retreat, it’s loud, it’s bold and it’s judgment free. You are still my breath of fresh air, and I admit that very few people are aware of my love and passion for you guys…I’m afraid, if they don’t understand, that would tarnish my beloved, unconventional and precious musical relationship with you. I love you so much, and I will always be grateful for your presence and for teaching me to Come As I Was

This movie raises the essential issue regarding the relationship between humanity and artificial intelligence. As a matter of fact, it is rather disturbing, because, even if the thematic is futuristic, the issue, in itself, is totally up to date. What room is left to “nature” in a world where, thanks to innovation, everything becomes possible ? What status has human life in such context ? is it superior because it came first or is it just different ?And yet, even if, Spike Jonze insists on bioethics and inherent problems associated with technical progress; even if he let me puzzled, he reminded me what means to be a human being. There are dialogues that shot me straight to the heart, because they gather so much sensitivity, and put simple words on indefinitely human feelings, such as loneliness, and feeling empty. Vertiginous passages guaranteed. I constantly went back and forth between self-identification and creating barriers with the characters. That’s what makes this movie so innovative: its complexity resides in the reflection of our own image. Since some passages are abundant of humanity they made me able to recognize myself and it’s nice to feel “understood”. However, the ones that address the issue of artificial intelligence are somewhat frightening.

Spike Jonze found the perfect balance between tenderness and harshness, lightness and depth, relevance and close futuristic fiction. His movie let me moved and intrigued, by explicitly illustrating the irony of human feelings, raising a reflexion on solitude and perfectly illustrating the fact that loneliness is a timeless feeling that everyone is trying to fill, whatever the means.
