About Thylacine
Some artists simply do things differently from the ground up, changing the basic musical rules and thus gaining recognition and increased attention across national borders.
Thylacine, a 23-year-old Frenchman, less known by his name William Rezé, is one of those exceptional artists.
He bought an ancient Airstream trailer, converted it into a mobile recording studio and travels around the world with it. Equipped with a PCM recorder, Thylacine is always on the hunt for sounds, musical impressions and folkloric music of the people in the countries he is visiting. In his mobile recording studio, he artfully is putting all this together and underlays the whole thing with immensely atmospheric electronic soundscapes.
The album Roads Vol. 1
Thlyacine’s second album „Roads Vol. 1“ was created while traveling across the landscapes of Argentina. This outstanding album turned out to be another convincing mixture of electronic soundscapes, plus the sounds he recorded during the trip with the PCM recorder and many Latin American pop and folk offsets. Roads Vol. 1 is a milestone of electronic music from France, even from Europe, and delights the listener with immensely inventive electronic soundscapes, sometimes playful and melancholic, sometimes with driving beats that let people go wild in the clubs.
