moss: awakenings by KrisRAW

moss:awakenings

About ten years ago I had created a playlist of music for myself called "Mossin" that really helped me relax and dream while also complimenting those "lazy Sundays" at home or around the studio.

This first mix album moss : awakenings is a collection of music that provides a gradual awakening over the course of the album. I set out to musically embody the moment one begins to open their eyes on the morning of a day with nothing to do. Through curating a gradual cascade of atmospheric, awakening and various rhythmic compositions I tried to walk a line that initially makes it hard to get out of bed, eventually providing opportunities where I provide the energy to allow your feet to leave the covers and land at the bedside to begin the day.

Aside from my long appreciation for this music, I also hoped to present a series of artists that I have come across over the past year that I feel are making some fascinating compositions through traditional instruments, electronic as well as mixed media that I hope will be new discoveries to listeners.

An additional purpose for this and future compilations is to hopefully introduce the listeners to new, innovative or obscure artists and record labels.

Over the next four or five months I will be posting one compilation at a time through my newsletter and Soundcloud channel, eventually completing four or five albums. All the tracks will be legally acquired and information behind each of the artists included on these mix-compilations will be included or accessible.
