AMKosman unveils a digital spaceworld in her new video for "comfort"
Stockholm label Cherish is probably one of the most exciting in the city at the moment. A platform for releasing music mainly by people that identify as women/trans, they've put out some amazing stuff from artists like sweeep and AmberValent. Now it's time for AMKosman.
The project of Adele Kosman, formerly a member of electronic duo For BDK, she's started producing her own work and has just dropped a new single, "comfort". It's a glitching song, built around beats, string samples and waves of digital squall and metronomic hook of the key phrase: "I used to be sure, now, I wonder what it was like, if it was comforting". Kosman says: “I make it a mission to be as honest as I possibly can in my work, it is my practice. This song is based on a phrase that revealed itself to me. At first in a long and wordy text. But quickly it dawned to me what it all was about. And so here it is, together with my voice and composition, one of my most honest moments.”
It's got a video from visual and audio artists VAJ.Power, who've created a computerised world of shifting shapes and figures to match the song's blend of digital aestetics and very real emotion.
