First release from a very young producer from the south of France that I recently signed for an album planned for the end of March 2024 on +Closer² and Unknown Pleasures Records on CD and digital. The album is fantastic and gave me hope in today's underground electronic music. Born in 1998 in a small town in Savoie, Yorismäki is a new French electronic music producer. His stage name comes from the fusion of his first name Joris and the name of the Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki. It was while working as a sound engineer, driven by a passion for sound processing and synthesis, that he truly discovered his urge to create electronic music. His music is influenced primarily by New Wave, but especially by the resulting industrial sounds, as well as more modern electronic elements, all within a dark universe. The result can be both, a brutal and visceral music, as well as atmospheric. For his first album, the inspiration comes as much from music as from the visual : The movie, with the disturbing and surreal universe of David Lynch, with a always dark look on humanity, or the cynicism, the beautiful shades of colors and lights and simplicity of Aki Kaurismäki’s movies. The present, where we seem to be plunging day after day into an increasingly dystopian world, where humanity, more connected than ever, yet seems to disconnect from reality, the individual curling up on themselves, losing control of their life, letting themselves be guided by algorithms, thus sinking into complete vacuity.
