Texas-based electronic composer Paris Music Corp. is back with a tandem of water-themed tracks that explore the deep tranquility and visual symmetry of nature. 'Wetlands' and 'Dark Laguna' take us on a sonic and visual journey, where the gentle flow of the first meets the mesmerizing, reflective depths of the second, offering an immersive, watery kaleidoscope for the mind.

Each track is paired with an accompanying, calming kaleidoscopic video designed to provide a unique sense of grounding stability through fluid motion and reflective imagery. This immersive, watery kaleidoscope for the mind invites fellow travellers to lose themselves in the ebb and flow of these two calming, aquatic soundscapes.

The brainchild of long-time Austin artist John Andrew Paris (now based on the Texan coast), Paris Music Corp. recently released his new album. 'Ecotone' - an electronic odyssey whose audio-visual offerings explore tranquility and the visual symmetry of nature. Nature and cycles are two themes explored, as seen in his latest offerings - 'Midnight Pad' and 'Sun Halos' - exploring the cyclical and seasonal juxtaposition of light with dark.

But this album is also deeply personal and geographically-inspired, being rooted in the artist's relocation to his childhood home in South Texas, just miles from the border and the coast. Paris wrote, recorded, mixed and mastered this album at Tarantula Studios throug 2024 and 2025.

In Austin, John Andrew Paris has spent decades creating music and collaborating with artists, including Arthur Brown (The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, perhaps best known for his hit single 'Fire'), as well as DJ Rev Kathy Russell, DJ Lucas Ray, Catastrophe Ballet, Le Reve, Life's Eyes, Beast of Eden, OBOYO and Don Wigwam.

"The 'Ecotone' album made sense to me because you have a transitional zone, where two different ecological communities or ecosystems meet and intermingle, often resulting in high biodiversity. I feel a lot closer to nature.. Some of my song titles reflect where I am. I actually lived in this area as a child and have come back to my roots,” says John Andrew Paris.

"A lot of these pieces were started on a phone app called Ableton Note. With this application you are able to scratch-pad a lot of cool ideas and then import them into you music workstation and finish them out. When I first moved to my new place I didn’t have a spacious studio setup and I wrote a lot just sitting up all hours of the night writing ideas on Ableton Note."

Known for his cinematic and ethereal music, 'Ecotone' shows Paris Music Corp's dark underbelly and futuristic imagination. Often with elements of 80’s darkwave and ambient soundscapes, his trademark sound involves processed guitar and bass locked into layered loops and manipulated using software. Also employing live hand percussion, these dense soundscapes take the listener on a sonic journey.

Earlier, Paris Music Corp. shared 'Rituals' and the lead track 'No Soy A.I.', featuring Spanish vocals by fellow Texan musician, writer and actor RayPerez, a dark slab of swirling electro casts a sonic challenge to the algorithmic chill of our times and the only track on this album with vocals.

In 2022, Paris Music Corp. released his self-titled album, after taking hiatus following his 2017 debut album 'Rewind'. Influenced by Mick Karn, Pink Floyd, Gary Numan, Tim Hecker and Miles Davis, John Andrew Paris scored the documentary 'Andy Paris: Bubble Gum King' and the horror film 'Spectral Wind', plus an electronic rework of 'Lord of the Dance' for the Austin Christmas Collection Album.

The 'Ecotone' album is available from digital platforms, including Apple Music, Spotifyand Bandcamp.
