Dimitri von Büren is a multi-instrumentist Paris-based artist.  He dropped his first song Moonlight Confession in November 2018. This marked Dimitri’s first self-produced effort, “inspired by all the chill pop/bedroom pop moods,” that have been on his radar lately. The good success of this first release paved the way for new songs, Days of Dream in June 2019, and Shining Bright in October 2019 and Eternal Love in June 2020 and Children of the Stars in October 2020 alongside with a music video clip. 

“I’ve recently been impressed by the emergence of the bedroom pop scene, providing many artists, recording songs of quality at home and broadcasting it from their room to large worldwide audiences through the social media,” he says. “As what I love the most about music is writing my own songs and expressing my feelings through it, I decided to take my chance and started to write and record new songs on my own at home. This gives me important freedom of choice in the sounds and instruments I use, as I’m singing, and also playing the guitar, bass, and synth.”

The artist’s influences are eclectic. “I have always been a huge fan of psychedelic music, from rock like The Doors, to folk like Nick Drake. I also grew up alongside the 00’s indie music scene that has always influenced me a lot (The Libertines, The Strokes, The Kooks). Now my tastes are evolving, and I’m liking more and more psychedelic pop, jazz, soulful and groovy/lounge music, as represented by several current artists like Mac DeMarco, Cosmo Pyke, Brad Stank, Boy Pablo, Rex Orange County or Yellow Days.”

Dimitri conceives songs like a trip. “I want the auditor to be absorbed and carried away by the melody and the atmosphere of my music. Which means variations on intensity and plays on vocal harmonies and background instruments. The main aesthetic I am aiming for is grace and oneirism.”
