Achter Les Halles schuilt de Brusselaar Baptiste Martin. Sinds 2012 maakt hij fragiele muziek met panfluit, veldopnames en dagdromerige keyboards.

Na eerdere releases op o.a. Not Not Fun Records komt hij in het AB Salon zijn nieuwste release op het cassettelabel Hare Akedod voorstellen.

Baptiste over z’n nieuwste release:

Hare Akedod, the antwerp-based label of David Edren (DSR Lines) and Bent Von Bent (Ōgon Batto), is proud to present Les Halles' Golden Hour a limited edition C24 cassette, the labels 11th release.

about the album:
'Golden Hour I-VI, was made on the computer, between Lyon and Paris in late 2018. I made dozens of patches with a modeling synth and tried to somehow recreate sounds of acoustic instruments, using happy accidents and randomness. Second side, Golden Hour VII, is a 12-minute piece that I started to compose during a week-long residency at Silo in Cannes-et-Clairan, South of France, September 2018. On site was a large concrete silo where the sound endlessly twirls and spins around. I composed the piece creating samples of different synths and various digital tools playing with the reverb. End of the afternoon after the working sessions, it was nice to go up the silo, sip wine and contemplate the golden hour with the co-residents.' B.Martin
