Compass

Waves is a soulful downtempo jam that takes its inspiration from the ebb and flow of ocean waves. The dusty drums and vintage guitar lines create a bed of nostalgia reminiscent of old surf films like the Endless Summer, while the dreamlike vocal from Alaska Reid adds a modern contrast leading the listener through intricate instrumental electronic sections. 
 
“This song was inspired by the feeling of surfing a wave and the culture built around it. Having grown up surfing in Florida I spent countless hours watching surf movies and hoping to soundtrack them one day. The movie Endless Summer connected with me as a kid and I too dreamed of chasing down perfect waves on remote islands. Waves is the soundtrack to this quest and I hope it can take you somewhere.”

Waves

Offshores is a chilled dance track that takes its inspiration from sailing through the ocean waves. The cool grooves, voyaging guitar melodies, and wave-like percussion all aim to give the feeling like you're sailing across the water with no worries to be had.

“This song was inspired by sailing and the feeling of being carried by the wind over water. Sailing has always been in my life thanks to my father who learned from my grandfather; an accomplished sailor. I’ve had a few opportunities to experience being on the water sailing and have always wanted to translate this feeling into sound.” - Koresma

Compass is the focus track from the debut album Compass from Koresma. The song finds its way into the project via the sonic landscape of the North EP featuring a danceable beat and lush ambience. Compass was created after the whole album was finished and conceptually it serves as a combination of all the unique elements brought together on the album journey.

This album is about finding your own path and using your internal compass. This project has taken me many years to complete and musically I’ve grown in that time. The song Compass pays respects to early elements of my productions such as guitars and synths and I wanted to express where I am now musically with sounds like vocals and more danceable beats. To further commit to the concept, I used sounds from songs from each of the EP’s to help blend and evolve the sound palette.”

This song was inspired by the idea of how bridges connect people and places. Music is one of the biggest connecting things for us and it brings people together regardless of race, language, culture, beliefs, and beyond.

Please give the song a ❤️ on Hypem to help spread the vibes: https://bit.ly/2AE3YK6

I have always wanted to dedicate a song to my Mom and Turquoise is finally that song. For as long as I can remember I have associated the color Turquoise with my Mom, as it was her favorite color. When I started producing the song I just kept seeing the color Turquoise in my minds eye and naturally that made me think of my Mom. What better way to bring more meaning to the music than to connect with the person who gave you life. I hope this song can help you dive a little deeper, chill out, and overall find some relief in this stressful, fast paced world we live in.

One Love

Canyon Walls was inspired by the feeling of flying along the walls of a canyon like a bird. Just kidding, I did imagine that while creating the song, but the song is more so about what a specific place like a canyon says to you while witnessing it.

"Free" channels inspiration from my grandfather who grew up in the Faroe Islands. He told me stories about the vast openness, sheer cliffs, and moody weather and it has heavily influenced the sonic landscape of this EP. "Free" features a vocal from the super talented Alaska Reid.

Stay tuned on the socials for the next single from the North EP. Links in my about section ✌️

Northern Lights is the second song from my upcoming EP called "North". 

Northern Lights is a chill, yet uplifting electronic song that features vocal-esque synthesizers, driving drums, and catching electric guitars. The sonic landscape lends itself to the wondrous event of Aurora Borealis, know commonly as the Northern Lights. This song aims to provide a progressive listen that mimics the wonder of seeing this event for the first time. Hope you enjoy the journey ✌️

Northern Lights

New Frontier is a soft house tune that uses lush E-piano chords, atmospheric violins, and a shuffling house beat to propel into your sonic adventure. The goal of this tune is to inspire hope and sense of adventure through the music. For myself getting out and exploring always leads to freedom and lots of growth. This song is about the the new paths and roads that we haven’t traveled, yet are eager to explore.

“Snow Globe” is a deep electronic tune that features the hypnotic vocal layering of Axel Mansoor. “Snow Globe” mimics a snow globe in the way things are slowly moving and suspended in time with sequenced synthesizers, warm acoustic guitars, and organic percussion. The song takes you a meditative space where you can feel the warmth.
