Florian Gasperini – "Kaïros" EP Interview Summary An in-depth feature with producer, DJ, and official Ableton Live instructor Florian Gasperini, celebrating his acclaimed 3-track EP, "Kaïros," out now on 3rd Avenue. New Creative Cycle: Fresh off wrapping up his academic year at the university and graduating his students, Florian refocuses 100% on studio time and building hypnotic live setups. The Concept of "Kaïros": Named after the ancient Greek word for the supreme, suspended moment in time, the EP delivers deep, atmospheric, and emotional organic storytelling. Philosophy on Education: He breaks down the hurdles of modern production (choice overload, "loop-itis") and explains why he urges students to look inward and sample their own daily lives to find an authentic voice. Industry Transparency: Florian tackles the ghost production debate head-on, viewing it as a legitimate technical service when done ethically, while drawing clear lines between mentorship, co-production, and ghosting. Mindfulness & Next Steps: Driven by a deep connection to sound healing, meditation, and nature, Florian teases what’s next: upcoming music on his Atma Music label and a new audiovisual live show blending electronic beats with live sound therapy instruments.
