French sound artist and black-and-white photographer Bastien Pons invites us into a world where sound feels sculpted rather than composed. His latest piece, “Black Clouds” (feat.

"Black Clouds" is so interesting because of the balance between claustrophobia and calm. Pons described wanting “pressure without force,” and that’s a silence that hums with unspoken intensity. It’s minimal yet vast, abstract yet vividly felt.
As the textures melt and reform, the listener is caught in a suspended state, part tension, part tranquility. It’s not about narrative or resolution; it’s about experience. “Black Clouds” is the kind of piece that lingers, echoing long after the sound fades, a haunting meditation on stillness in the chaos.
