Patrick Belaga ‘Solar Calf’ (PAN 167) is out now!

Patrick Belaga returns to PAN with ‘Solar Calf’ like a game world built through minimalist composition discipline, utilizing repeating figures and subtle variation. A resolution that doesn’t quite resolve but invites the listener to feel through the pieces.

On his second solo album, composer and performer Patrick Belaga uses that vernacular to wrestle himself from the constraints of the humdrum musical narrative. He conceived ‘Solar Calf’ as the soundtrack to his own playable environment, a vivid multi-dimensional space that actively supplants most albums’ expected beginning-to end storyline. Just like an open world game, ‘Solar Calf’ can be navigated by moving from zone to zone: from wide, verdant landscapes to tense, high-contrast interior spaces via the memorable interstitial areas where very little happens, but everything feels as if it’s charged with meaning.

Mohamed Bourouissa’s debut album ‘LILA’ is out now on PAN, in a deluxe vinyl edition including a 16-page booklet.

A collection of music compositions, including also the original soundtrack from the film Généalogie de la Violence, as featured in exhibitions at PALAS Gallery, Sydney, Australia, and Palais de Tokyo, Paris, France, in 2024.

Critically acclaimed photographer, Paris-based Algeria-born artist Mohamed Bourouissa has long fostered a deep, enveloping interest in sound. ‘LILA’ is his solo debut, a self-styled “musical object” that inventories the important relationships in his life; each of the album’s tracks is dedicated to (and named after) a person he was thinking about as he composed the record. Featuring appearances from Franco-Senegalese artist Le Diouck and Italian avant-garde figure Valentina Fanigliulo (aka Mushy and Phantom Love), the album plays like a diary of hypnagogic reflections that uses weightless synths, heartbroken AutoTuned vocals and dissociated beat sequences to sketch a likeness of Bourouissa’s inner reality. Emotionally charged and rooted in the aesthetics Bourouissa pegs to his bonds with sound, people and art, it’s as complex and multi-layered as any of his celebrated installations or exhibitions.

Using a palette that’s been steadily refined over the last decade, he shifts and shimmers through a personal landscape that’s transformed into a living, breathing sonic ecosystem.

The album features artists Le Diouck and Mushy, it is mixed by James Ginzburg and mastered by .

Mohamed Bourouissa’s sophomore single “MG” is out today, taken from his debut album LILA (PAN 149).

Where the first single moved with stillness, MG runs on drum programming and heat, featuring PAN alumni Le Diouck, his voice stretched to its limits over trembling drum rolls that carry remnants of club music through a process akin to automatic songwriting; muffled, charged, and at maximum emotional reach.

Patrick Belaga shares first single, ‘Axis’, from his forthcoming album, Solar Calf.

There are certain expectations attached to video game music. Whether it’s the innovative low-bitrate compositions that accompanied early cartridge-based capers, piped through over-active sound chips directly into millennial memory banks, or the lavish, CD-quality orchestrations that arrived soon after, game music has rapidly evolved into a language crammed with its own distinct grammar. On his second solo album, composer and performer Patrick Belaga uses that vernacular to wrestle himself from the constraints of the humdrum musical narrative. He conceived ‘Solar Calf’ as the soundtrack to his own playable environment, a vivid multi-dimensional space that actively supplants most albums’ expected beginning-to end storyline. Just like an open world game, ‘Solar Calf’ can be navigated by moving from zone to zone: from wide, verdant landscapes to tense, high-contrast interior spaces via the memorable interstitial areas where very little happens, but everything feels as if it’s charged with meaning.

Belaga found himself particularly drawn to Shigeru Miyamoto’s ‘The Legend of Zelda’ series of games. Not just Japanese composer Koji Kondo’s infectious musical themes, but the game’s evocative terrain: the labyrinthine dungeons and fantastical patchworks of forest enclaves, mountain villages and beachside locales. To redraw this topography with his own hand, Belaga replaces bits and pixels with the repetitions and interlocking patterns of the 20th century American minimalist school of composers, simultaneously employing textures and atmospheres that might usually be associated with the industrial scene’s experimental underground. The repetitions work like markers that introduce each different area of the map before subtle variations hint at change without forcing the usual structure. Exploration and movement is encouraged and even stasis is acceptable, but resolution is unlikely.

AGON, a Venice prize-winning film by director Giulio Bertelli, is a visceral portrait of contemporary professional sports.

Streaming worldwide exclusively on , the original soundtrack composed by is out on PAN.

https://pan.lnk.to/AGON
https://mubi.com/en/pan_agon

Giulio Bertelli’s AGON renders a unique view of competitive sport through a fictional Olympic Games, LUDOJ 2024. Mastered by Rashad Prize (International Federation of Film Critics) the film is a triptych of three female athletes preparing for Olympic competition, that conjures a fiction via the techniques of documentary. Wheatley’s soundtrack is the exacting ear to its exacting eye, his score reflects the film’s hyper-focus on the gesture and interiority of sports performance, acting as punctuation, mirror, and an extension of Bertelli’s film that embeds further connections between its themes and intentions. 

Crucial for the soundtrack was a theme for the imagined Olympics, but LUDOJ is a non-place without nationality, and Olympic themes often take cue from national stereotypes. Wheatley’s LUDOJ jingle, and the sound bed in the cue LUDOJ (commentary) instead rendered a glassy flatness, reflective of the non-place in which the film happens, where we rarely see any identifying features of a landscape and instead see macro shots representative of the blinkered focus of the athletes, where we rarely see into any distance.  
AGON premiered at Venice Film Festival 2025, was awarded the Luciano Sovena Award for Best Independent Production, and the FIPRESCI Award (International Federation of Film Critics). It is a MUBI/Match Factory production.
