The concept of The Shoe Factory
Initially, Weder planned to move to Los Angeles in 2020. The pandemic changed this and he ended up in a small village in the Tramuntana mountains in Mallorca, part of the Balearic Islands.
Exploring the village's history revealed a rich shoemaking heritage, with over 60 factories in and around the village. Venturing into these factories with microphones, he captured the machines' sounds and the unique ambience. The passionate employees, some of whom had worked at the same machine for 40 years, showed him their work was a true labour of love. After getting to know them, he realised the significance of the machine sounds in their lives, especially in the summer when factory sounds spill into the streets.
This unexpected inspiration became the heart of his eponymous album and this sample library, blending with brass, saxophone, piano, and electronics recorded in his own living room, a former shoe factory.
