Paul talks with innovative producer, musician, and DJ, Carmen Villain, unravelling the key influences that have shaped her sound, ranging from hip hop, R&B to minimalism. Carmen opens up about her late start in music and her love for loops and textures, taking us behind her creative process, shedding light on her desires to blend dub influences with cosmic free jazz, electronic textures with scoring music for dance performance. The culmination of these experiences is what makes her latest album, Only Love From Now On, and her EP, Music From the Living Monuments, a testament to her artistic evolution.Lost and Sound is proudly sponsored by Audio-TechnicaPaul’s debut book, Coming To Berlin: Global Journeys Into An Electronic Music And Club Culture Capital is out now on Velocity Press.
