Aidan Girt’s remix of Rêves sonores’s “Svalbard” doesn’t just reframe the original, it deepens its pulse. His percussion enters like weather, slow-building but precise, shaping a quiet momentum that lingers just beneath the surface. The drums don’t demand attention so much as reshape time itself, making space for glacial textures to swell and recede. Playful, low-slung basslines catch in the body, grounding the track while synths drift and loop like thawed memories. It’s a subtle but potent transformation—one that holds onto the fragility of the original while letting something more restless emerge.
The accompanying video by Samer Najari opens another layer. Shot on Super 8 twenty years ago, it captures his brother throwing stones into the Channel in northern France—simple, repeating gestures haunted by time and marked in expressive color. Like the music, the film lingers in the space between clarity and blur, where memory becomes motion and tenderness finds its rhythm.
