More than just a debut single, Paper Sun introduces Ron Morven’s artistic identity. As a songwriter, DJ, and producer, he creates music driven by emotion, movement, and visual imagination. His background in writing also adds depth to the way he builds songs, giving them a strong emotional and cinematic edge. In this interview, Ron Morven opens up about the meaning behind Paper Sun, the creative process that shaped it, and what listeners can expect next as he continues building his unique musical world. Listen to Paper Sun https://youtu.be/Sry5JjlgmHc Follow Ron Morven on Facebook Spotify Youtube Instagram Tiktok Paper Sun is such an intriguing title. What inspired you to name the song this, and what does it mean to you? The title Paper Sun came from the idea of something that looks bright and beautiful from a distance, but feels fragile, almost unreal, when you get closer to it. I liked the contrast between the image of the sun and the word “paper,” because it suggests both light and vulnerability. To me, the song is about those moments when everyday life feels too loud, too fast, and strangely artificial. You can be surrounded by sunshine and still feel trapped inside your own head. Paper Sun became a way to describe that kind of pressure — something bright on the outside, but burning quietly underneath. Can you take us through the creative journey behind Paper Sun? Where did it all begin for you? It began with a very specific feeling: being caught in the rhythm of everyday stress, especially that strange tension you can feel while driving through traffic on a hot, bright day. There is something almost cinematic about that situation — the sun, the cars, the noise, the repetition, the sense that everything is moving but you are emotionally stuck. I wanted to turn that pressure into music instead of simply describing it. At the same time, I wanted the sound to carry a kind of classic dance energy, with rhythmic and sonic references to ’70s and ’80s disco music. From there, the track started to become a kind of escape route — moving from pressure toward release, from being trapped to finding air. What kind of story or feeling were you hoping to capture when you wrote this track? I wanted to capture the feeling of being overwhelmed by the ordinary. Not a dramatic event, not a huge tragedy — just the daily pressure that slowly builds until even a sunny day can feel heavy. The story behind Paper Sun is about someone moving through that tension and trying not to disappear inside it. But I didn’t want the track to stay in that place. The music had to become the exit, the moment where the body starts moving and the mind finally gets a little distance from the noise.

What was your approach to the production? My approach was to make the track feel both emotional and physical. I wanted the production to have movement, but not in an aggressive way — more like pressure slowly turning into momentum. A big part of the idea was to bring the energy back to some of the roots of dance music, especially the warmth, groove, and forward motion of ’70s and ’80s disco. The rhythm needed to feel alive and driving, while the melodic elements had to create a sense of light and escape. I paid a lot of attention to keeping the sound open, cinematic, and atmospheric, because the song is not just about the beat — it is about creating a space where tension can transform into energy. Was there a specific moment or experience that sparked the idea for this song? Yes, the spark came from that very common but intense feeling of being behind the wheel, surrounded by traffic, heat, noise, and routine. It is such an ordinary situation, but sometimes it can feel strangely overwhelming. You are in motion, but you also feel stuck. That contrast interested me: the outside world keeps moving, while inside you are trying to stay calm and find a way out. Paper Sun grew from that exact emotional contradiction. What was the most exciting or memorable part of creating Paper Sun from start to finish? The most memorable part was finding the balance between tension and light. I didn’t want the song to feel dark, but I also didn’t want it to feel empty or purely euphoric. The exciting part was discovering how to let the music carry both things at once: the pressure of daily life and the possibility of release. The disco-inspired pulse helped a lot, because it brought movement, warmth, and a sense of human energy into the track. When Paper Sun started to feel like an escape rather than just a description of stress, I knew it was becoming what it needed to be. How does Paper Sun fit into your growth as an artist? Does it show a new side of Ron Morven? Yes, I think Paper Sun shows a very important side of Ron Morven. It connects my instinct for storytelling with my love for electronic music, and that is becoming more and more central to what I do. I am not interested in making tracks that exist only as isolated moments; I want each release to feel like part of a larger emotional and visual world. Paper Sun allowed me to explore something very human and everyday, but through a dance-oriented sound that looks back to the roots of the culture while still feeling contemporary. In that sense, it feels like a step forward — more defined, more cinematic, and more personal. https://open.spotify.com/artist/059LViT4O24jrZZVJEnwDb What do you want listeners to experience or take away when they hear Paper Sun for the first time? I would like listeners to feel that the song understands a kind of pressure they may not always put into words. Everyone knows what it feels like to be caught inside the speed of modern life, even during moments that are supposed to look normal or bright. But I don’t want people to leave the track feeling trapped. I want them to feel movement, air, and the possibility of release. If Paper Sun makes someone feel lighter for a few minutes, or gives them a way to turn stress into motion, then it has done something real. Were there any particular sounds, instruments, or vibes that you knew had to be part of this track? I knew the track needed a strong melodic identity from the beginning. The sound had to feel sunny, but not innocent — bright on the surface, with emotional tension underneath. I also wanted a groove that carried the DNA of classic disco music: something warm, rhythmic, physical, and human. The rhythm had to suggest movement, almost like driving, but with enough space for the track to breathe. That contrast between light, pressure, and vintage dance energy is really the core of Paper Sun. What’s next for you after Paper Sun? Can fans expect more music that explores similar themes or sounds? Yes, fans can definitely expect more music, but I don’t want to repeat the same idea over and over. Paper Sun opens a door into a sound and a world that I want to keep developing — emotional, cinematic, melodic, and connected to real human moments. The next step in the project is Es Vedrà, a deep house track dedicated to Ibiza and released ahead of the summer. It explores a different atmosphere, more nocturnal and Mediterranean, but it still belongs to the same wider vision: music as movement, memory, and escape. I see every release as a chapter, not just a single, and the goal is to make the Ron Morven project feel more recognizable with every track.
