D-CTIONNAIRE: A Sonic Alphabet Journey by Stefano Orfeo Meneghetti and Monsieur Lune

An international project born in the Venetian mountains.
Graphic designer turned experimental musician Stefano Orfeo Meneghetti, after relocating from Milan to a quiet mountain village in Veneto, has teamed up with Marseille-based DJ and radio host Thomas Mounition (aka Monsieur Lune) to create an original concept album titled ' D-ctionnaire ' – an alphabetical sound journey, or as the creators call it, a sonic abecedary.
The album explores the rhythm and resonance of language itself, building tracks around lists of words arranged alphabetically. Alternating voices – the deep, poetic tones of Monsieur Lune and the hypnotic clarity of Naomi Pacifique, a Swiss-Dutch multidisciplinary artist – guide listeners through a fictional dictionary, where each letter opens the door to a new musical and linguistic world.
' D-ctionnaire is a sonic journey through letters, words, and meanings,' says Meneghetti. ' Inspired by the structure of the dictionary and the magic of the alphabet as the foundation of all language, the tracks fuse electronic music with pop and African influences, celebrating the universality of communication. '
' Words resonate,' adds Monsieur Lune. ' Repetition of sounds dissolves meaning, giving way to an imaginary, approximate syntax. Sensation overtakes reason.'
The music is a rich tapestry of global collaboration, with contributions from DJs, musicians, and producers from across borders, blending genres into a seamless, meditative exploration of speech, rhythm, and meaning.
D-ctionnaire will be available in digital format on all major streaming platforms.
