Intermezzo by Josu Mämmi, CYRIL AWAKENS

"Intermezzo" is a child of CYRIL AWAKENS and Josu Mämmi. Their first EP combines the artists' styles into a mesmerizing journey with a strong pulse, hovering vocals, and a manifold of colours and emotions. Underlying themes such as parallel realities, sleep and constant online presence lit the artists' way while they pioneered their common path in the wilderness of sound and melodies. The title track opens the EP presenting a generative ambient soundscape topped with haunting anticipatory vocal lines. The opening leads to "Sporadic", a dance floor-oriented song about dreams and the fragile condition of ones mind. The EP ends where it all started, Josu Mämmi's remix of "Ghost". The idea to work together came when Josu heard CYRIL's brilliant original from their debut album "Virgin". After Josu had remixed the track, artists' set out to create the EP worthy of the 'Ghost' -remix, and so "Intermezzo" -EP was born.
