The Black Diamonds Ambient label has returned with “Sea Poems” from Mosko. This follows on from his 2020 debut release “Ambient Inventions” which was received with stellar reviews.
Sea Poems was conceived to musically capture the feeling of how waves rise, becoming apparently separate, and then fall again to merge seamlessly again with the sea. The compositions were formed with repetitive chords flowing in the background and the smooth contours of the melody rising and falling, as if waves in the sea. Mosko delicately layers his ambient guitar lines to evoke the harmonious atmosphere of the morning sea.
The songs from Sea Poems evolved through a collaboration called Visual Sounds with the Brazilian artist, Claudia de Grandi, which was an experimental art project that existed from 2015 to 2017. Visual Sounds explored the juxtaposition of art and music through musical improvisations and live painting with performances in London, Berlin and Tokyo.
The image featured on the album cover is from Claudia de Grandi and is entitled “Waves 3”. The painting was part of a series which was done in response to the dialogue Claudia and Mosko had about music and painting.
Mosko has also created beautiful music videos for the album featuring stunning underwater video footage from the photographer, Samantha Isom, and produced by video artist Ashley Dupree. The video footage was shot on location by Samantha in Maui, Bonaire, Sumbawa and Gili Island in Indonesia, as well as St Croix.
