ASLUT Catches Up With DOMBRANCE
by ASLUT STAFF WRITEROn Saturday, March 9th, the stage at Cain’s Ballroom will come alive with the pulsating beats of DOMBRANCE, offering an evening of electronic immersion like no other. This solo project, forged from a background of collaborative efforts, promises to captivate audiences with its unique blend of electronic soundscapes and thought-provoking social commentary.
In a recent interview, DOMBRANCE shared fascinating insights into his artistic journey, inspirations, and aspirations for the future. Here’s a peek into the mind of the artist himself:
Transitioning from collaboration to solo work wasn’t just a professional decision for DOMBRANCE; it was a creative imperative. The allure of solitary decision-making on stage drew him in, although he acknowledges the inevitable encounters with fellow artists during tours.
His music isn’t just about beats and melodies; it’s a canvas for social commentary. DOMBRANCE seamlessly weaves political narratives into his electronic compositions, viewing each track as a soundtrack to life itself, reflective of personal experiences and broader societal currents.
One notable creation, "MAKE AMERICA DANCE AGAIN," emerged from the tumultuous backdrop of the 2020 US elections. Describing the EP as akin to film music, DOMBRANCE invites listeners to interpret their own stories, drawing from his own impressions of the political climate from his perspective in France.
Despite his immersion in electronic music, DOMBRANCE draws inspiration from a wide array of genres, including jazz, classical, and punk. He reserves a special reverence for JS Bach, whose mastery of melody and harmony continues to influence his own work profoundly.
Reflecting on his career thus far, DOMBRANCE considers the ability to sustain himself through his music as a significant achievement. Yet, he remains perpetually excited about the future, driven by an unwavering commitment to artistic growth and exploration.
The pandemic posed challenges for the music industry, but DOMBRANCE embraced them as opportunities for evolution. He believes in the transformative power of live performances and sees potential in the role of artificial intelligence in shaping the future of music.
For aspiring music producers, DOMBRANCE offers sage advice: stay true to your story and focus on creating timeless music, rather than chasing fleeting trends. He emphasizes the importance of authenticity and resilience in a rapidly changing industry.
While technology has revolutionized music creation and distribution, DOMBRANCE finds the true essence of his artistry in live performances. He cherishes the intimate connection with his audience, believing that word-of-mouth promotion after shows has been instrumental in his project's growth.
Balancing artistic pursuits with personal life can be a delicate dance, but DOMBRANCE prioritizes quality time with his family when he’s not on stage. Whether building Lego masterpieces with his daughter or crafting new musical compositions, he finds fulfillment in these moments of connection.
