SON—013: Compositions for the Dries Van Noten Collection & Catwalk AW23
Lander Gyselinck and Adriaan Van de Velde created the soundtracks for the Dries Van Noten autumn/winter 2023-2024 runway shows. The result is a double live performance recorded during the shows in Paris.
What we did:
master. PR. distribution in collaboration with PIAS
The release, exactly 1 year after the presentation of last season's men's collection, is available from January 19th on a 180 gram vinyl and on all digital streaming platforms. On one side you will find the music for the men's collection by Lander & Adriaan, on the other the music for the women's collection, Lander Gyselinck solo.
"The women's collection is all about construct:deconstruct, intimacy, botanical figurative elements and gold in its raw form. Dries asked me to try to translate these elements into a drum piece performed live. I decided to focus on detailed intimate sounds, acoustic elements and improvisation. Besides this piece, there is a second composition that I brought together with Adriaan for the men's show where we mainly took into account the venue, Dries' collection, certain keywords we were given, our world of 90s music, rave and improvisation and we tried to make a nice blend of that." - Lander

"We created a musical trilogy with a few transitions where we move from spherical two-step to techno, eurodance and breakbeat. The models walked in an 8-shape around both of our stages so we were literally in the middle of it. It was great to notice during the show that the composition created a natural tension field where the evolution of figures and patterns in the outfits coincided nicely with the evolution in the music."
