-------------------------------
That synth-riff in M83’s “Midnight City” is made of a sample of Anthony Gonzalez’s voice, pitch-shifted and layered in effects. It’s just one of the many techniques Gonzalez uses to evoke a sense of nostalgia in the listener.
The single stems from his 2011 double album, Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming. A massive, 22-track opus that pays tribute to his childhood, California and dreams. A statement. Reminding us of the importance and magic of art. Its ability to last throughout generations.
Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming would become a life changing experience for him. A chance to grow and literally find his voice. In 2010, just before turning 30, Gonzalez moved from his hometown in France to Los Angeles. Alone, looking to evolve as an artist. But something strange happened once he arrived.
