I make electronic music, and I spent five years in finance watching creative work get turned into a tradeable commodity. The frozen song — fixed, final, identical on every play — is the only music product we've ever been sold, and it's quietly hollowing out how we listen. doux is my attempt at a living alternative: modulated at the stem level, in real time, by the world around you. Unrepeatable by design. The version playing now will never exist again.
