yannick mirko – “i’d rather be in space”

//

In a world filled with strife and animosity, there exists a common yearning to escape into the comforts of another world, at least from time to time. Such emotions are conveyed on the neo-classical track “i’d rather be in space,” from New York-based artist yannick mirko.

Gentle piano pulses and a radio-like crackling craft a sensation of otherworldly escapism — an ideal accompaniment to isolation within a space station, joined by nothing beyond the surrounding stars, as the radio frequencies convey a semi-comforting static. The sonar-like effect feels grounding, playing with enigmatic qualities as the twinkling piano tones exude graceful intent. “i’d rather be in space” is a gentle, atmospheric delight from yannick mirko.

Check out the talented artist’s other works, ranging from music to art and short films, on the official website.
