STORA SKUGGAN & Dream Weapons present: HYPNAGOGIC C90

 

So here it is, as promised. Compiled about a year ago, my last mix in the foreseeable future. 

 

Join inn on a trip through the ages and various sound-spaces in gentle timbres and melodies of erratic beauty. Hypnagogia is the transitional state from wakefulness to sleep. I’ve attempted to establish a feeling of falling out of consciousness and into a dream state. Over and over again. Like fever dreams, but of the haunting, ethereal and enchanting kind. And kinda strange. But that goes without saying, doesn’t it? That was the idea. But who knows, some of you listeners might not associate medieval hymns performed on the theremin, a chorus of mice, herding calls or even musically accompanied poetry readings - with anything dreamlike at all -Moahaha

-Underneath is STORA SKUGGAN's alternative cover, and how they present it to their audience, I left the quote they used from my text, so half of it is just repetition:

 Our favourite clandestine music selector Mohaha, from the elusive music collective @drm-wpnz has gifted us another fascinating contribution to our mixtape series. Titled Hypnagogic, Mohaha’s second STORA SKUGGAN mix is purely based on the idea of a theme —avoiding any name dropping of artists, or genres— Hypnagogia is the transitional state from wakefulness to sleep. -“I’ve attempted to establish a feeling of falling out of consciousness and into a dream state. Over and over again. Like fever dreams, but of the haunting, ethereal and enchanting kind.” We invite you to join us on a trip through the ages and various sound-spaces in gentle timbres and melodies of erratic beauty.
