Stay

Jacoo also started making chillstep around 2012 and for the first time we met this week and made this song together here at my home in Sweden. I hope you enjoy :)

Hymn of a New Dawn (Jacoo & Krisu)

Album "Animus" Out today!
http://killigrew.bandcamp.com/album/animus

I've been working on and off whole autumn with this project of mine. Animus means mind/soul and it's about a journey within aswell as an adventure.

Imagine being away, for a very long time. Imagine coming home, to your loved ones.
I got shivers down my spine while working this song. That's when I truly know I got something worth going for.
It was the last song I was working on before I went home to my family. It's made for them, and for all of you.

If you enjoyed this, go get the full album now :)

Merry Christmas!!!

Coming Home

Plugins used: Native Instruments Noire & LABS Soft Piano

I've been in a bit of a slump lately (since January) but my inspiration and creativity is slowly coming back. I wanted to finish this ambient piano song before I start working on my next chillstep album set to release in autumn. I will release a few songs from that album over summer. This might be the last piano song for a while but I still plan to make a few more so I can release a piano compilation before Christmas. I hope you enjoy the vibes :)

Hiding in Himalaya

This is my second song of my new album "Animus". I really hope you'll enjoy this piece.

Sorrow's End (feat. Electus)

The Ethereal and I

Her Eyes Shimmer Like Stars in the Fading Night

Sweet Surrender

Oxygen for a Dying World is one of three songs I'm making for the upcoming new version of the popular app/game "Idle Planet Miner" by Tech Tree Games. They have previously used my song Aska for "The Tower" which got thousands of people to discover my song. But now I'm making a few original soundtracks tailored for them. I'm diving back into relaxing music for a while and I invite you to drift the atmospheres with me. I hope you enjoy the change of pace with these new songs!

I will release this on Spotify Friday October 27th and then the other two songs the following weeks 🤍

Oxygen for a Dying World

Part II of the "World Saga" which is four chillout songs I'm making for the popular app/game "Idle Planet Miner" by Tech Tree Games. The atmosphere of these songs is much more mellow than what I'm usually known for. It has been a refreshing challenge. If you guys enjoy them I will gladly make more songs like this. Making chillout and soft piano versions of my Chillstep sounds like a good idea!

I will release this on Spotify Friday November 3rd 🤍

The Sound of a World Reborn

A slow piano version of the ending of my song "Aska". Which I wrote and released in the autumn of 2020. I consider Aska one of my most beloved compositions and I will revisit the entire song one day. I hope you enjoy this version which I named "Sorrow in C Minor".

Guide Me Through the Darkness

A chill song I made, one of many I worked on past months, this wont be a part of the upcoming EP. Since it's going a bit slow, I chose to release this seperately for free :)

Deeper Still

Yggdrasil (Unreleased song from 2014)

Betrothed (Unreleased song from 2018)

She Laid Siege Upon My Unsuspecting Heart

Nuvole Bianche is Italian for "White Clouds". It's one of my all-time favorite pieces and I've always wanted to make a tribute to this beautiful song. I sat down and learned to play it on piano, recorded the different parts in my software and tried different ideas to see what kind of instruments and rhythms "worked". I even wrote my own part (2:28-3:12) to make it flow better before the final crescendo. The result is something of a lofi/chillstep hybrid which I think most of you will appreciate. I also have a few original songs lined up for the next couple of weeks.

Nuvole Bianche

This is a lofi/chillhop version of my piano song "The Forest Piano". I hope you enjoy the relaxing vibes 🌸

Magnolia

Feeling awful for having all the trouble with the EP. Both inspired and extremely stressed out about making it very special for me. Here's another single in the meanwhile :)

Hurt

I'm having fun making these lofi/chillstep hybrids. I hope you also enjoy the simplicity in these tracks as much as I do 🌱

Forest Bathing

You have to... embrace oblivion

I've just come off a creative break after 3-4 weeks. But I did spend time in other arts. I made a lot of songs in September-January so I needed to rest my mind for a while. I'm 31 now and ever since I started writing songs at age 16 I've felt this deep desire to create and I will never force songs. They will come naturally as the urge to create and express myself arises. This song was created from my deepest desire to make something special. I hope you enjoy "Embrace Oblivion".

Can you guess the meaning behind the title?

Spotify release this friday March 8th 💚

Embrace Oblivion

My second attempt at making a chillstep version of "River Flows in You" by Yiruma 🌱

River Flows in You

My first collaboration with Sappheiros is finally here! I was suprised how well our melodies would flow together as if it's written by one person. I hope you enjoy this classic sounding Chillstep song 🌱

Sappheiros:

Sappheiros & Krisu - Secret Sanctuary

This is the first "version" after I had worked on the idea that Sappheiros sent me. I think it deserves to be released alongside the more chilled version. They are also in different scales so one can almost consider them part I and II. I hope you enjoy the drop as much as I did making it. Much love and respect to Sappheiros. More collaborations together this year 💙

Sappheiros & Krisu - Secret Sanctuary (Epic Version)

A little cover of Yiruma's beautiful piano song "River Flows in You".

Morning Dew is one of those songs that gives the listener a sense of mystery and wonder. I knew for over a year that I wanted to fine-tune it so finally here it is :)

Morning Dew (Remastered)

I've never done anything like this before. An asian/atmospheric EP inspired by lofi hiphop and the anime series Dororo with my own melodic flair of course. Something I've been having fun with on the side when I'm not writing chillstep or piano music. I hope you enjoy the vibes :)

I'm staring at the trees... they're slowly changing... it's time for another season... life goes on.

A Change of Seasons

Hey everyone ^^ this is an updated version to the unfinished Blackmill collab from last year. This time I've worked more on the mixing as well as added vocals by Elvya. I think the vocals made the song a lot better and the drop feels really satisfying now. I'm afraid I haven't heard from Blackmill for a while so hopefully he wants to add something before an official release. But you deserve to hear how it turned out and I truly think this song shouldn't be lost and forgotten. Let me know your thoughts. Consider this the beta release. In the end it's all about the music :)

Lyrics:

But inside me there is a light
But inside me there is a light
But inside me there is a light
And for that I'll forever fight

Even in the darkest nights
I can keep it shining bright
Wielding the sword of light
Even in the darkest nights

Blackmill & Killigrew - Ascension (ft. Elvya)

Aska means Ashes in my native language (Swedish) and is a song dedicated to a dear friend. You know who you are :) I hope you enjoy!

New Nostalgia (Album out now)

Senbonzakura is a very popular song by Hatsune Miku and about a year ago I heard a slower piano version of that song on "The Soul of Wind" channel and it instantly sent shivers down my spine. I knew one day I would have to make my own version of this beautiful song. Senbonzakura means "one thousand cherry trees" in Japanese. I've also just released my piano EP "Self-Therapy" on Spotify. I want to do a lot of piano songs this year. I hope you enjoy :)

I'm doing a series of piano covers of my favorite songs of all time. Starting with this one.

Senbonzakura

Pianist and Chillstep artist from the forests of Sweden. Krisu (formerly Killigrew) started composing songs in 2009 and by 2013 he released his first Chillstep albums "Sweet Solitude" and "Animus" which recieved millions of streams around the world. Focusing on music inspired by nature, his own quest for spirituality and finding purpose the songs are highly melodic and often melancholic. Welcome to the ethereal realm of Krisu.
