“Dimensions Variables” in French, is the standard term used to describe the size of an artwork that fluctuates or cannot be physically limited. The evolution of music is continuous. Genres shift, temporal structures deform, formats explode, and all refuse to be confined to a box.
This first volume captures a precise moment, one where the scene, both in France and beyond, pushes creativity and the richness of what’s happening right now just a bit further. Ten artists, ten vanishing points, who, through their visions, move the boundaries of what seemed to be defined. Mirage Sud is proud to present their universes. It’s an invitation to lose yourself in this open, shifting space, without a fixed point, but constantly tending forward.
From house to techno, passing through trance, Bouh blends textures and psychedelic atmospheres in a progressive journey linking 90’s sounds and hypnotic grooves. Composed over several sessions, Bouh’s track Pass Out is a hybrid between analog synthesizer, used for the basslines and the pad, and VSTs for the other elements. The repeated use of a harmonic resonance reverb effect (such as a spectral resonator) on various audio sources helps to unify the entire track, giving it an almost robotic feel, rich in textures. For this track, he wanted to create a psychedelic, club-oriented atmosphere while maintaining a melodic touch through the addition of a pad that provides a sense of breath, a light at the end of the progression.
Inside Dimensions Variable Vol. 1, house music becomes dense and sunny, sometimes flirting with a warm, textured trance. It’s progressive, but never static, as if nothing ever stays in place.
In this porous zone where reshaping the past and surfing on codes coexist with the way of breaking free from them. Maybe, in the end, everyone is just trying to move beyond their own limit.
And for this compilation, the limit, precisely, moves. Space and time become elastic. Welcome to Dimensions Variables Vol. 1.
