Julien Mier – Gradually (2025)
The latest album by Julien Mier, is a sonic journey that delves into the transitions of life, identity, and the blurred boundaries between art and personal growth. With a trilingual brain, Mier reflects on how language shifts have shaped his sense of self throughout his life and the music that he writes. Gradually is his exploration of shapelessness — an urge to break free from rigid musical genres and get closer to his most fundamental expression. The album is composed of nine tracks, each representing a distinct cultural and linguistic influence, all tied together by the theme of gradual evolution.

Julien Mier – Industries in the Trees (2019)
Industries In The Trees is an album inspired by the destruction of the environment and a kinetic energy that comes along with society and inventions. It’s a portrait of nature’s complex pattern and tries to craft a serene and melancholic scent in the chaotic twirling and rummaging landslide of organic and manmade objects.
To give the music a finite touch, it degrades in a cascade of eroding instruments and tiptoes between the electronic and acoustic manipulation of sounds. Melodies written in the digital realm are being transposed to real instruments and re-processed afterwards in the digital world where it currently sits. Collaborators on this records are Tim Fain (violinist of Philipp Glass) Floex (Tomas Dvorak) and Zoltan Fecso.
