I’m Théophile Langer, a French composer, music producer and DJ based in Barcelona. I release and perform electronic music as umbraid, exploring techno, trance and microtonality.

Alongside music, I write about creativity, listening and the politics of culture. My work connects dance floor experience with philosophical questions: how do we create, what shapes our attention, and how can we keep experimenting?

Here, I share my independent writing, beginning with Between, an essay about deepening our creative practice as humans and responding to the growing influence of platforms and generative AI.

Make your body think and your mind dance.
