NTO and Sofiane Pamart are set to release their debut collaborative album ‘FOREVER FRIENDS’ on 14 June. Through the fusion of electronic music and the art of the piano, the two artists weave an original 11 track body of work. "FOREVER FRIENDS" is much more than an album; it's a manifesto. It's our tribute to the eternal bond that music can forge between souls," explain NTO and Sofiane Pamart. Through this album and its coat of arms as emblem, the two artists defend five values: duality: symbolized by the two-headed Dobermann, solitude: symbolized by the arrow, loyalty: symbolized by the chain, light: symbolized by the star, and sacrifice: symbolized by the tear.

"We believe in the indomitable values of friendship and the sacred act of standing by those we cherish. We believe in the power of loyalty, in the strength of brotherhood, in fighting for those we love. In the journey of life, no one should walk alone. Honour your friends.

Listen to their silences and you will hear the echo of your own solitude. In the chaos of life, what we build together as human beings gives meaning, hope and brightness to our stories. A true friend will make you feel that, forever, you are no longer alone."

The unlikely pairing are no strangers to collaboration and the combination of Sofiane Pamart’s virtuosic piano playing and NTO’s mastery of electronic music has made for something truly unique. Sofiane Pamart gained his training at the Conservatoire de Lille, where he was a gold medalist. While NTO’s musical education came in electronic music clubs, listening to the likes of Stephan Bodzin, James Holden, or Paul Kalkbrenner. Although their musical upbringings could not have been any more different they have combined to bring their talents into one.

The duo will perform two live shows at Dour Festival Belgium July 20 and Phantom Paris November 15 with ticket bundles available HERE
