DRLCT is the solo endeavor of Swiss musician Fantin Reichler, known for his work with The Kompressor Experiment and Méandre. Médée comprises four tracks, each a poignant reflection on Reichler’s mother’s battle with cancer, which ended on September 5, 2022. Reichler channeled his grief into music, finding solace and purpose through composition.
“On September 5 2022, my mom died after a three-year losing battle with cancer. In order to cope with her brutal death, I started writing a lot of music, just to have a purpose, something to pour my sparse energy in” tells Fantin.
The album’s tracks offer a deep, emotional journey:
‘Asunder’ – A slow-burning, guitar-driven piece that embodies the initial anger and disbelief of confronting a terminal diagnosis.
‘Un jour en Octobre’ – A nostalgic yet dark track symbolizing the cancer’s advance to the brain.
‘Flow Your Tears, That Bluebird Said’ – An electronica ballad capturing acceptance and the longing for release.
‘Interlinked’ – A portrayal of the final, agonizing steps toward peace.
The album was recorded and mixed by Ludovic Volper, with mastering by Christoph Noth. The evocative artwork is by joel__rgb, graphic design by Tomas Defago, and the logo by Fantin Reichler, with photography by Morgane Raposo.
