She first heard his work while watching the 2019 film The Last Black Man In San Francisco; just minutes in, she paused it to look up who did the score and wrote to him immediately. “I love Emile’s ability to create melodies that feel magically scenic and familiar like they are reminding you of the innocence of loving life.” Those talents saw recognition in 2020 with an Oscar nomination for Mosseri’soriginal score to the film Minari. He was already a fan of Smith’s and became increasingly intrigued by her impressionistic process as they started to talk. “The music feels so spiritual and alive and made from the earth,” Mosseri says. “I think of her as the great conductor, summoning musical poetry from her orchestra of machines.” I Could Be Your Dog / I Could Be Your Moon, their two-part collaborative album, introduces an uncanny fusion of their sonics. Constructed using synthesizer, piano, electronics, and voice, this soft-focus dream world is lush, evocative, and fleeting. It finds two composers tuning their respective styles inward as an ode to mutual inspiration, a celebration of the human spirit and its will to surrender to the currents of life. Early into their correspondence, Smith and Mosseri realised they were neighbors in Los Angeles and met up for a few hikes. Their conversations led to a musical exchange over email. The exercise became a sketch, the start of their first song together, “Log In Your Fire,” with Mosseri finding flourishes in Smith’s cathartic synth lines to intonate and harmonise alongside. Lyrically, it’s a beautiful, open-ended sentiment. “Being a log in someone’s fire, to me, means letting go, and surrendering to that feeling,” says Mosseri. From there, the pair composed a series of musical foundations, trading files from afar, nurturing the eventual expansion as the remote days of 2020 set in. Smith likens the collaborative experience to the exciting uncertainty of starting a garden, “doing what I can to facilitate growth while enjoying the process of being surprised by what will actually grow.” In the summer of 2021, the duo finished work on the sequel, I Could Be Your Moon, expanding their musical language as the first part reached its September release. Songs from these more recent exchanges find them even more synced, forging into percussive and harmonic experiments, leaning further into their “unused musical muscles,” as Smith and Mosseri put it. A unified vocal presence emerged. “As the friendship grew I think we both learned how to support each other more and musically that was communicated through singing together,” adds Smith. Now taken as a full album set, I Could Be Your Dog / I Could Be Your Moon moves fluidly from track to track, panning through textural vi- gnettes. Two roughly 17-minute halves, the set evokes the bittersweet sense of something too bright or rare to last, a short-lived glimpse into a golden hour. There is a dreamy, elemental intention to this music, which Smith and Mosseri say came naturally, as they both embraced intuitive interplay throughout their creative back-and-forth. The stylistic threads of each composer are recognizable yet become more ambiguous as the album progresses, sewn into a singular vision. “I’m so grateful that my musical ideas could dance with hers with some grace and harmony,” says Mosseri. Smith adds that this experience helped her “remember that mu- sic can be a connecting layer of friendship, especially in a time when the usual ways were out of reach.” Artist Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith & Emile Mosseri Genre Electronica Label Ghostly Buying Options 1LP , 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Log In Your Fire Moon In Your Eye Brush I Could Be Your Dog Glendora Blink Twice Moonweed Green To You Amber Standing In Your Light Shim Sham Golden Cow Radio Replacement Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Electronica View Product Quick View Mark Van Hoen Plan For A Miracle Electronica | Dell’Orso | 1LP Released 9th February 2024 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mark Van Hoen Plan For A Miracle £22.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Dell’Orso SKU: EDDA64LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th February 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tim Hecker Dropped Pianos (Ravedeath Sketches) Electronica | Kranky | 1LP Released 21st December 2011 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tim Hecker Dropped Pianos (Ravedeath Sketches) £15.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Kranky SKU: KRANK161LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st December 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Grid & Robert Fripp, The Leviathan Electronica | Panegyric | 200g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 25th June 2021 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Grid & Robert Fripp, The Leviathan £26.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Panegyric SKU: DGMLPX102 Formats: 200g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 25th June 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Autechre Plus Electronica | Warp | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 20th November 2020 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Autechre Plus £21.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Warp SKU: WARPLP338 Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 20th November 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Prins Thomas Gerd Janson Remix Electronica | Smalltown Supersound | 12", Single Released 17th February 2017 £11.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Prins Thomas Gerd Janson Remix £11.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Smalltown Supersound SKU: STS29812 Formats: 12", Single Released Date: 17th February 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Alias Eyes Closed E.P (Limited Green Vinyl) Electronica | Anticon | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 15th June 2020 £7.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Alias Eyes Closed E.P (Limited Green Vinyl) £7.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Anticon SKU: nn205907 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 15th June 2020 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Susumu Yokota Symbol Electronica | Lo Recordings | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 8th April 2022 £26.00 - £29.00 Select options Susumu Yokota Symbol £26.00 - £29.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Lo Recordings Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 8th April 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Barbarossa Lier Electronica | Memphis Industries | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 30th March 2018 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Barbarossa Lier £17.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Memphis Industries SKU: MI0487LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 30th March 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Graham's picks View Product Quick View Global Communication 76:14 Electronica | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP Released 24th January 2020 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Global Communication 76:14 £27.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2546 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 24th January 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View RP Boo I’ll Tell You What Electronica | Planet Mu | 2LP Released 6th July 2018 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders RP Boo I’ll Tell You What £21.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Planet Mu SKU: ZIQ396 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 6th July 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Electronica Start again
