Dance music yet melancholic, wistful yet uplifting.

Comma Period’s instrumental songs are filled with dystopian electro beats, retro-futuristic escapism, cyberpunk loneliness and synthwave nostalgia for a future that will never be. A future we will never see.

"Ruin Porn" is an EP that comes from the fascination about ruins from the ancient ages as well as those urbex ones.
But it's also about the horror of modern ruins in Gaza or in Ukraine and our powerlessness to stop this madness.

1 - "Presets for Life". Wouldn't be nice if we had presets in real life like in music software. How to behave, how to love, how to live, how to die.

2 - "A Safe Liminal Space". A liminal space is an "uncertain transition between where you've been and where you're going, whether physically emotionally or metaphorically".
Some people find them frightening, but for others they are
comforting.

3 - "Lost Voices from Deep Below" is about ancient echoes from missing friends.

4 - “I Remember Damage” is the soundtrack of your life while you are driving away or commuting late at night in a city you want to run away from. Or maybe you just want to "remember damage, and escape" (a reference to the TV show, Station Eleven).

In a previous life, Viviane Morrison aka Comma Period played bass in a noise band, had a indie radio show in Paris. He started Comma Period after his second induced coma. Then he did two remixes for French multi-instrumentalist Colleen for her “Solar/Stellar” EP (Second Language). Comma Period has also remixed a few tracks for British Retrochic artist Alberteen (Rhythm & Noir).

Comma Period has learnt his craft by listening to everything that is electronic, from the German-British-Belgian pioneers to the more contemporary synthwave / darkwave artists as well as those from the rave age.
But Comma Period's inspiration also comes from video games (Cyberpunk 2077), anime (Makoto Shinkai), TV shows (The Last of Us), movies (Tron) and the Lofi universe (if it was a goth one).

Each track of Ruin Porn has (or will have) its own video edited by Comma Period. Be sure to check them out.
