about

"From the wet summer squelch of Iceland, to the humid chaos of New York and then to the familiar sound of my friends on the streets of Lisboa, these tracks act as a sonic document of the end of my summer of 2022.

The first track I made was harpa and around, while in Reykjavík for a show. I felt incredibly inspired by what I saw there, through the post-dreifing crew and Mengi, a small yet strong community that supported each other despite coming from different musical/sound backgrounds and ideas. There was this sense of scene first over everything else which I had not witnessed to that extent before. I, like many others, had only felt the cold shoulder of the “global village” gate, but there within Reykjavík, I saw first hand what a diminishing of ego and a collective support could feel like.

This is the first record where I’ve delved into what is now my current approach to research. It relies on a kind of quasi ethnographic/practice as a researched way of creating... I call it audio-graphic research. I make recordings of the audio landscape I share with loved ones and strangers and use this as a starting point to make sound based work. But at its core, this record is really a celebration of a scene, of finding a kindred peoples thousands of kms away, on a little volcanic island, covered in snow, where they blur the boundaries of electronic and experimental music."

Moss Kissing is a musician, performer and audiographic researcher based in Lisboa. His live shows draw from a diverse range of sources, dubstep and techno form the basis of his sound, while performance art and underground metal infuse his stage presence. He uses sounds from his environment and from the people who populate his life to create ruminate textures, which, combined with complex rhythms and throbbing bass, offers a unique club experience. In 2022 he performed across festivals, queer spaces, clubs and raves. He also supported artists such as Peder Mannerfelt, Darwin and Hiroma Keo. In 2023 he debuted his album “Pass Through” on vinyl for Lisbon collective Vilamar. This summer he played at Glastonbury Festival in the UK and toured Belgium, The Netherlands and Germany.
