Listening Blue

Listening Blue was created by Benjamin Vigneron also known as Vronsky in September 2013 during a manic episode which ended up in an intense psychosis on the roads of Long Island NYC. Like many bipolar before being diagnosed Benjamin was interpretating reality at another state of consciousness, by code and symbols. He decided to include those codes and symbols into a medium throughout the internet adding sounds to it: Listening Blue Youtube Channel. Later, the 12th of October 2013 he decided to drive to NYC where one of his student short film project “Micromegas” was exhibited in a science film festival in Brooklyn. During his trip Benjamin saw the beauty of the Vermont and New York State during and Indian summer, but when he arrived without sleeping and eating since the day before to New York City at night things started to get crazier. NON DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT. Native Americans, in order to become a shaman call this step “the vision”. Benjamin in the early morning of the 13th of October 2013 saw the world as it is now: Humans partially controlled by AI and threatened by global warming. He ended his journey in a psychic ward at Saint-Catherine of Sienna Hospital were he stayed 2 month until to be transferred to Montréal for further diagnostics. A year later, facing a heavy anti-psychotic and mood stabilizer treatment and loneliness. Benjamin went back to his hometown Bouc Bel Air in the Provence in France. While living a dangerous party lifestyle to forget what happened and coping with “the decease” and the treatment, he kept curating video of his favourites artists in an order that makes sense to him. In 2016, Benjamin met through a comment on a video Brennan Leuenberger also known as Löwen. They rapidly became good friends and started working together on Listening Blue. Brennan is now assistant curator, monthly radio DJ, producer, engineer and legal owner of Listening Blue. In 2018 Benjamin and Brennan started to reshape Listening Blue into a record label. Benjamin signed a contract with Lobster theremin distribution and released two EP under his alias Vronsky: “Beyond the Psychosis” and “Darlington avenue” which had good critics and affirmed the label credibility. Since then the label has offered a home for unknown and known talented producers and the Youtube channel is still running well. On the 27th of October 2021 Benjamin and Brennan closed the contract with Lobster Theremin removing all the content from the music market and streaming services to go towards a more independent way in adequacy with their musicians aspirations.
