Psycho & Plastic found a way to express their deepest feelings through making ambient music. The duo had been playing their brand of underground electronica in Berlin for years until the events of 2020 put a stop to their live energy. Instead of beats, they channelled the raw emotion lurking in quietness, and it’s a sound they’ve cultivated ever since. The duo, Thomas Ticchai and Alexandre Decoupigny have known Paul for years, and together, the three friends talk about authenticity, creativity and the need to hear quiet voices in a world which values who can shout the loudest.
Psycho & Plastic’s most recent album, Phantom Bliss is out now, there’s a link in the online podcast description. And their track No End is on the Ambient Layers Vol 2 compilation on the 7K label.
