Inhale & Escape - the story
Around 100 songs exquisitely curated and gathered together as a playlist on Spotify. OCEAN VIEW, has been curated over the final three years and more assiduously over the past year.
The songs featured in OCEAN VIEW have been finger picked and researched to commonly awaken the mood of all these afternoons spent watching the waves and alienating the outside existence.
Unwinding and melancholically “acknowledging, all the dances one was supposed to dance while the music was playing”. -Alan Watts.
Numerous songs forming OCEAN VIEW, have been pinned and collected via Shazam, in various surf-ranches, beach bars, local restaurants and other commerces along the pacific and mostly on the atlantic coast. Other songs have been sent by friends & family. The collection of songs happened very organically with a slow footprint.
In every way, I am happy they came across me.
Today, OCEAN VIEW exists as a free playlist fogging through various musical genres and is not bound to any of these nor to any religious or politically views expressed in these songs. OCEAN VIEW is solely bound to the diversity of its name.
With music as a further ELEMENT, OCEAN VIEW features voices and samples from Detroit over Greece to Guinea pit-stopping in Asia on Electro flairs encompassing some 1972 Bossa Nova to reach Lisbon and Northern London’s hip-hop scene before diving further into numerous other genres, and in time. Music as a fifth ELEMENT.
It was with great love and certainly passion, even therapeutical to focus on getting to know so many new diverse and borderless artists to finally assert the vision OCEAN VIEW to balances for, a vehicle that creates the necessary space to inhale & escape.
An ode to World Music and Music from all Worlds.
