Amiby breaks down sounds into their most granular forms and reshaping them into something both visceral and visionary. The deluxe follow-up to his debut EP, Jamais Satisfait, is more than a collection of tracks; it’s a manifesto on embracing imperfection and finding beauty in the disarray.
Rooted in internet culture and inspired by boundary-pushers like Flume, Iglooghost, and Blank Banshee, Amiby crafts music that feels like it’s in constant motion. On this album, he revisits his first EP through a fractured lens, bringing in collaborators whose fingerprints add even more texture to an already kaleidoscopic sound. What emerges is a project that thrives on tension—between control and chaos, between refinement and rawness.
Tracks built in Ableton blur the lines between technical precision and unfiltered experimentation. Granular synthesis tools like Quanta and Granulator collide with sound morphing techniques, creating moments that feel like they could disintegrate at any second. Yet, it’s this precarious balance that gives the album its vitality, making every glitch and every shimmer feel deliberate.
The visual world of the project mirrors its sonic ethos. Amiby, alongside his manager Ariane, reimagines the artwork of his original EP, using generative tools like MidJourney to produce a piece that feels as alive as the music it represents. The new cover, with its disjointed layers of floral and electronic elements, bridges beauty and disorder, capturing the album’s restless spirit.
Thematically, Jamais Satisfait Deluxe explores dissatisfaction and imperfection as creative forces. Amiby wrestles with the gap between what we envision and what we achieve, ultimately celebrating the messy, unpredictable process of making art. It’s not about reaching the destination—it’s about embracing the stumbles, detours, and moments of unexpected clarity along the way.
As the final chapter of this era, Jamais Satisfait Deluxe closes the loop on Amiby’s debut while pointing toward uncharted horizons. It’s a daring and deeply personal record, a sonic landscape where imperfections shine.
