An enigmatic figure of the French electronic music scene, Chams found his calling after a lone trip through the Alps, a place he grew up surrounded by and always knew to revere, made of “sacred places where the beauty and fear of nature merge to shape a unique atmosphere of vulnerable plenitude” according to him.
Since that epiphany, he has been depicting his admiration for that highland through radiant yet cloudy melodies leading surging drum patterns, picturing a subtle contrast between the, obvious at first, positivity and confidence coming from beaming synths, and darker impulses in the form of reverberated speeches and howls, resembling the echo of a vast mountain valley.
