Texas-based electronic and ambient composer Paris Music Corp. (a.k.a. John Andrew Paris) has released his latest full-length album, ‘Ecotone’. Rooted in Paris’s return to his childhood home in Brownsville, the record is a deeply personal exploration of the transitional zones where the Rio Grande meets the Gulf of Mexico and American culture intermingles with Mexican heritage. Written, recorded, and mastered at Tarantula Studios throughout 2024 and 2025, the album’s title refers to the high biodiversity found in overlapping ecosystems—a metaphor Paris applies to the dense, layered loops of processed guitar and live percussion that define his sound. The release is accompanied by a cinematic video for the track “Rituals,” which captures the dark, futuristic imagination and ethereal darkwave elements that have become his trademark.
The album features the lead single “No Soy A.I.,” a dark slab of swirling electro that stands as the only track on the record with vocals, provided by fellow Texan musician and actor RayPerez. The song serves as a humanistic challenge to the “algorithmic chill” of modern times, specifically addressing the detachment of AI-driven relationships. With a career spanning decades and collaborations with legends like Arthur Brown, Paris has utilized his return to South Texas to craft his most geographically inspired work to date. From the 80s darkwave influence of “Midnight Pad” to the ambient tranquility of “Wetlands,” ‘Ecotone’ is a factual and immersive sonic journey that solidifies Paris Music Corp.’s status as a visionary in the electronic underground.
