Taisen’s “Clouds” drifts in like a slow exhale, a luminous neoclassical meditation where piano and analogue synthesizers breathe in unison. Built around a serendipitous Juno-60 loop and a piano motif that unfolds with soft inevitability, it’s a piece that doesn’t demand attention so much as invite presence, offering a quietly immersive refuge in a world that rarely pauses. Recorded and filmed across an autumn weekend in Taisen’s Toulouse studio, the single signals a pivotal moment for the French composer, though his roots trace back to classical training from age five. Taisen’s evolution toward improvisation, texture, and emotional intuition places him among contemporary voices like Nils Frahm and Hania Rani, while keeping his fingerprints unmistakably his own.
