Canadian producer and arranger Hologramme (Clément Leduc) has returned with his third album SOLEDAD opus 32 no.1, released on the 29th of September 2023 through his own imprint Société Holographique de Montréal. The album was incubated in Berlin, where Hologramme is currently based. He has carved a place for himself in the world of electronic music: he’s toured in support of the likes of Fakear and Mome, appeared at Piknic Electronik (Montreal), and Timeless Festival in South Africa, alongside moguls such as Royksopp and Tycho, as well as Montreal Jazz Fest in 2022 where he headlined to over 3000+ attendees. In addition to this, he has accumulated over 5.2 million streams across all platforms.
SOLEDAD opus 32 no.1 is a stunning blend of orchestral and cinematic elements with gritty yet ethereal electronic production that creates unique and exciting textures. There is an assortment of genres woven into this sonic tapestry, including but certainly not limited to breakbeat, classical music and even deep house – you can hear the influence of Nicolas Jaar or Jamie XX. Its mood varies, but remains somewhat introspective, and at all times unremittingly engaging.
Hologramme commented on the album: “SOLEDAD opus 32 no.1 is an exploratory album and a screenshot of a transitional moment in my personal life. With this new opus, I allowed myself to study different musical styles without putting restrictions on myself. I imagined this album as if it were a film, separated into two chapters by the Adagios. It’s a record that can be listened to with your eyes closed since it is loaded with images. I also believe that it was a moment in my life where I understood the importance of imperfection in art. It is an important parallel with life, with relationships and with this indescribable force that holds everything that exists together. HSO32NO1 is a complex album, full of subtleties, loaded with emotions and contrasts, it is a record tailored for active listening, to be consumed without moderation.”
