Words + Mix MARC RICHTER
Photography PELLE BUYS
The theme of this collage is Le Temps Perdu. It’s influenced by some of the French voices in the mix and its overall feeling of melancholia, gloom, and a yearning for something that isn’t quite there. It started out as a deep winter below-zero playlist but soon turned into something more Baroque.
I prefer to let the music guide me instead of me guiding the music. In the beginning there was that Labradford tune in the centre—which is perfect winter music in my universe—and the other tunes were slowly spreading themselves around it almost single-handedly. Treat yourself to a spoonful of cough syrup, a cup of hot chocolate with rum and some white Toblerone, and listen when you’re half-asleep….
