Économie by Unité November

Written & Produced by Unité November.

The “Elon Musk: Trilogy”, is a conceptual project composed of three EP's, each one released on a different international label.

This trilogy undertakes a sonic and symbolic exploration of the Elon Musk phenomenon, dissecting the complex layers of his media-constructed identity. Each EP reimagines these themes through analog synthesis and industrial textures, evoking a dystopian baroque in which sound becomes the medium for critical reflection on the cult of the entrepreneur in the digital era.

Elon Musk’s image stands at the intersection of futurism, techno-utopianism, and myth-making. He is portrayed simultaneously as an innovator, a provocateur, and a messianic figure in the age of acceleration. Musk occupies a unique space in the contemporary psyche, at once a symbol of hypercapitalist ambition and a vessel for sci-fi fantasies of space colonization, transhumanism, and infinite expansion. His ventures, from electric vehicles and private spaceflight to neurotechnology and A.I., are cast not merely as businesses, but as narratives of salvation or disruption.

The Trilogy engages with this image through three thematic lenses:

"Généalogie" (released on Urban Distortions) explores his lineage and legacy, reflecting an obsession with succession, progeny, and the continuity of vision beyond the individual [https://urbandistortions.bandcamp.com]

"Idéologie" (released on Urban Connections) explores his ideological frameworks, rooted in libertarian tech discourse, futurist determinism, and the aesthetics of disruption [https://urbanconnectionsnetlabel.bandcamp.com]

"Économie" (released on Misión115) explores his enterprises, embodiments of relentless proliferation, marked by the grandiose and the excessive ventures that stretch not only capital and technology, but the very boundaries of human aspiration [https://mision115.bandcamp.com]

Unité November is a French electronic music project that embraces a retro-futuristic aesthetic, shaped by influences from 1980s electro, Electronic Body Music (E.B.M.), and industrial soundscapes.
Based in the suburbs of Paris, the project’s sonic identity is meticulously crafted using analog synthesizers exclusively. Its visual presentation, which includes bespoke camouflage garments, reflects a conceptual alignment with both Italian Futurism and the French Foreign Legion. Unité November has released multiple EPs through a range of independent labels, including Marasm, Magnetic Netlabel, Urban Connections, Hoodwink Records, and Nawal Records.
