# 10 x 4 – Valentin Stip **Valentin Stip** is the first proper signing to **Nicolas Jaar**'s Clown & Sunset label. Born in Paris but raised in Montreal, a background playing classical piano was a springboard for Valentin's explorations in electronic sounds which soon caught the ear of Jaar. Field recordings and a lightly synthesized touch combine wih deft percussion -- his Anytime Will Do EP makes a pretty strong statement for a debut record. We predict bug things for Valentin. **Favourite part of the day to create?** In the afternoon when everybody else is caught up in their day I usually take a moment at home to make music. Periods of exhaustion are also good moments for me. **Method or madness?** In a way, a little bit of both as I have my little methodic tricks and tocs that I do often and I have those moments when I just get lost inside of ableton for hours and will get nothing but a small number of good clips. **First musical love?** Segei Vassilievitch Rachmaninov **Last musical love?** Mount Kimbie **One thing you cannot live with out?** Music. **One thing you would live without if you could?** Money. **Biggest disappointment?** Being told that I would not be able to become a concert pianist when I was 13. **Love of your life?** Sound. **A place to create?** At home, or any cozy and very agitated place. Sometimes I need calm around me while sometimes I really enjoy movement and commotion. **Last thing that inspired you?** Bird sounds and Hip-hop.
