Mystic Forest

A journey through a whole range of human emotions.
Close your eyes and try to feel what it creates within you.
Let the waves invade you and focus on yourself.

Embrace

Let me introduce you to my new side project: AWAKINO. An amusement park for electronic experiments – more rhythmical structures, occasional club references, straight from my e-smogplayground studio.

Digital-only, spontaneous, often just sketches – raw and imperfect. Flirting with Synthi-Pop at times – but always a bit weird around the edges.

Here’s the very first EP, uploaded straight to Mirlo – a charming alternative platform beside the big players. Cheers.

"This session was recorded on the eve of the 2020 winter solstice. It is a collection of sounds and excerpts from pieces of music that have been personally healing for me when I've needed reflection and stillness during times of chaos and uncertainty. I can only hope that the experience of listening to this recording will do the same for others."
