Influenced by Philip Glass, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Paul van Dyk, Daft Punk. Joris Calder was seven when he entered the Dutch foster care system, and eleven when a foster mother in Rotterdam put her father’s old cello in his hands. He aged out of the system at 18, taking a job coordinating logistics at the city’s massive industrial port. Now a producer, he channels the concrete and steel of his upbringing into soaring, trance-to-EDM anthems, building something permanent for people who understand what it feels like to be temporary.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The Maastoren light blinks on the water glass.
Another isobar draws across the map for you.
And the north wind cuts the cable stays, I feel the pull,
A tensile thread that's fraying from the spool.

[Chorus]
This is the shear stress, the slow drift.
This is the final static shift.

[Verse 2]
Remember climbing on the aggregate piles?
The port was our whole world for a few miles.
"We're built to last," you said that June, your breath a cloud.
You never used to speak that loud.

[Chorus]
This is the shear stress, the slow drift.
This is the final static shift.

[Bridge]
I trace the blueprint of your face behind my eyes.
Just scaffolding where the real thing used to rise.

[Outro]
The slow drift.
The static shift.
