Since summer 2025 I have been releasing on every streaming platform, first as singles, then as records: two albums and an EP so far. I gather them here from newest to oldest, saying for each what it is about, how I made it and where to start.<\/p>\n<p>I will update this page with every new release. Bookmark it rather than hunting for the next record in the site&#8217;s archives: this is where it will show up first.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h3>Discomposed (2026), six titles taken from studio vocabulary<\/h3>\n<p>Released on 5 October 2026, <em>Discomposed<\/em> is my third record and the first short-form one. <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/3kfDk48vt0INWuTG7n2h0x\">The Discomposed EP has six tracks on Spotify<\/a>, running 27 minutes 59.<\/p>\n<p>The tracklist reads like a workshop glossary: <em>Discomposed<\/em>, <em>Second Movement<\/em>, <em>Overdub<\/em>, <em>Half Step<\/em>, <em>Counterpoint<\/em> and <em>Common Time<\/em>. Each word names a gesture of writing or recording, and each carries a second meaning the record leaves you to find. I only spelled out one in <a href=\"https:\/\/papacitoyen.reves-connectes.com\/en\/2026\/10\/05\/discomposed-ep-reon\/\">the Discomposed EP<\/a> feature: <em>Half Step<\/em>, the semitone. The rest I leave to you.<\/p>\n<p>The material is spare: slow pads, long decays, almost no percussion. The two longest pieces open and close the record, and the arc runs from a form coming apart to common time, the simplest metre there is.<\/p>\n<p>It is also the first record I made with a pad surface. I wrote the opening track on a MIDI keyboard and the five that follow on a Launchpad Pro MK3, in the same software on the same computer. A workshop piece looks at <a href=\"https:\/\/papacitoyen.reves-connectes.com\/en\/2026\/10\/05\/launchpad-pro-mk3-vs-midi-keyboard\/\">what the controller changes<\/a> in composing.<\/p>\n<p>The sleeve starts from the R\u00ea&gt;ON logo, cut into an orange half and a violet half, with no title and no artist name. The palette is the one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.log-iko.fr\/\">L\u00e9opoldine Kammerer<\/a> designed for the project&#8217;s identity.

I conceived the sleeve around that duality: intimate, almost tactile memories mixed with networks and data flows.<\/p>\n<p>The first album imagined what machines dream about. This one starts from human memories and what becomes of them in contact with technology. My method did not change: I caught the ideas on my phone, often far from the studio, then developed and finished them in Ableton Live.<\/p>\n<p>It sits in the middle of the catalogue, tighter than <em>Connected Dreams<\/em> and longer than the EP. It is the natural next step for anyone who liked the first album and wants to hear where the method went next.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<iframe style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/05oIgzITBh8UQY1KD8IQJQ\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>[\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h3>Connected Dreams (2025), if machines could dream<\/h3>\n<p><em>Connected Dreams<\/em> is my first album and the largest. Its pieces first came out one by one as singles, from 31 July 2025, before being gathered into the album released on 25 December 2025. <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/2iSeEUS49wImdssykKmbvy\">The album Connected Dreams has 46 tracks on Spotify<\/a>: 23 pieces and 23 interludes linking them.<\/p>\n<p>It starts from a single idea: if machines dreamed, their dreams would be made of inconsistencies and imperfections, like ours. I went looking for those imperfections instead of correcting them.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the pieces were born on a train, on my phone, in the Ableton Note app: a pad laid straight onto the screen, a loop going round, an accident kept because it sounded right. Arrangement and finishing came later in Live, with a return to the MIDI keyboard for a few tracks. I told the story of that process in <a href=\"https:\/\/papacitoyen.reves-connectes.com\/en\/2026\/08\/21\/ableton-note-connected-dreams\/\">the mobile sketchpad behind Connected Dreams<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>With its interludes, the album suits continuous listening more than picking single tracks.

The easiest way is to pick by moment.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Under half an hour: <em>Discomposed<\/em>, in one sitting, on headphones at a moderate level.<\/li>\n<li>An hour of work or reading: <em>Les souvenirs connect\u00e9s<\/em>, in tracklist order.<\/li>\n<li>A long journey or an evening: <em>Connected Dreams<\/em>, interludes included, shuffle off.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whichever you choose, leave the ends of tracks alone. That is often where the next one is being prepared, and it is what makes a record more than a run of pieces.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h3>Three records, two ways of catching an idea<\/h3>\n<p>What links the three records is not a sound but a method, and it changed along the way. Both albums start from the phone: I catch the idea wherever it turns up, on a train or in a corridor, then finish it in the studio. With <em>Discomposed<\/em> I moved the gesture into the studio itself, with a pad grid used to try out progressions rather than write them note by note.<\/p>\n<p>The software stayed the same: I finished all three records in Ableton Live. The common thread is a stance, keeping the accident. A loop found by chance on a train, a chord stumbled on inside a locked scale: what ends up on the record is something I played, then kept because it sounded right.<\/p>\n<p>This page is not fixed. Each new release will take its place at the top, read through the same lens: what the record is about, how it was made, and which track to enter by.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h3>Hear R\u00ea&gt;ON in the Electronica playlist<\/h3>\n<p>To hear R\u00ea&gt;ON alongside the pioneers and today&#8217;s artists, I put three tracks from <em>Discomposed<\/em> in <a href=\"https:\/\/papacitoyen.reves-connectes.com\/en\/2026\/02\/21\/electronica-electronic-music-anthology-a-70-year-journey-from-musique-concrete-to-today\/\">our 70-year anthology of electronic music<\/a>, the Electronica \u2013 Electronic Music Anthology playlist.
