‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division

  ‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division In ‘The Journey,’ a sonic mosaic unfolds that—permeated by neon-soaked synth pads and a melody that feels like memory—is less a song than a spiritual compass. The time that relentlessly pursues us, according to ‘Time keeps chasing us every day’, is not portrayed as an enemy, but as a constant touchstone that we face with our heads held high: ‘ We won't let the rain wash us away’ . Photography, here metaphorically as a key to the past, opens doors to moments that seem long gone but live on within us. The chorus – a kind of collective mantra – describes not just a journey, but an intertwining of stories that support each other. The garden in which hopes take root becomes a symbol of what must be nurtured in order to flourish. And when ‘ our songs have lost a note or two ’, it is not a flaw, but proof of lived depth.

The Artist: Maestracci - "Paradise (feat. Milie)"

Maestracci

Maestracci is a hybrid project crossing electronic music and video. A mixture of the senses inviting to dreams and nostalgia. Nurtured in pop, trained in acousmatic, electro-acoustic and contemporary music, the producer Maestracci will draw from his Corsican roots ancestral values ​​such as the sharing and transmission of memory. The padded atmospheres intermingle with more synthetic rhythms, Maestracci's music is the colorful fusion of impressionist melodies with binary pulses sometimes groove, often pop. As if the divisions between musical genres no longer existed. It is for this reason that Maestracci collaborates with artists from all backgrounds. 

After working with the plastic artist / graphic designer Ferdi on the EP “Restless Illusions” (2019), he composed with the singer Ëda Diaz on the single “Mi carcel” (2020), with the artist Reine-Claude on the EP "Jeune" (2020) then with the singer RaeAgwe on the track "September" (2020) Each title is illustrated with a video mixing "home movies" from archives with more graphic elements. Bold and captivating montages that leave room for reflection. Supporting the viewer's perception without orienting it, Maestracci opens the doors to his universe where everyone creates their own story. After releasing the EP "Palindrome" on High Vibe Records, he is back today with the single "Paradise" feat Milie

Paradise (feat. Milie)

Da werden Grenzen überschritten, Mauern abgerissen, Genres verschmelzen ineinander. Experimental Electronic trifft hier auf Electronica aber auch ein leichter Touch von Commercial Pop kommt durch und doch alles etwas avantgardistisch in Szene gesetzt. In diesen unterschiedlichen Weiten bewegt sich Milie herrlich leichtfüßig, tanzt nahezu von einem Bild zum anderen. Das grandiose Arrangement scheint Regie zu führen und hält bzw. fügt alles elysisch zusammen, pittoresk wird inszeniert. So we have to say Achtung: Paradise (feat. Milie) by Maestracci, nicht einfach nur ein Song.
