If you’re a yogi in lockdown you’ve likely been stuck doing yoga at home and in the UK especially, indoors. Creating the conditions for yoga (warmer the better) really helps, so clear a path through the clutter, close your eyes and bliss out as Far Away Coast puts soft, swirling sand and calm, clear seas in your minds eye.
Koresma (Ryan Lindberg) is an electronic producer based in Los Angeles, California and his music is inspired by the landscapes and their influence on sound.

About the Curator: Thomas Jefferson
It started like many 80's babies, 90's children - with blank cassettes.
I would listen to the local radio station, or BBC Radio 1 and record songs I liked - always frustrated when the DJ would speak over the end and wreck the mix! Much rewinding and taping over later, I'd spend hours designing the covers and scrawling the artist and track names on the sleeve in tiny writing.
I've always had an eclectic taste, going through phases like every other teenager but coming out the other side with a disregard for genres and pigeon holes, just an endless desire for more music and to keep learning.
Raised in a musician’s household, I played piano and guitar, was in the school band version of The Strokes and went on to study Popular Music at Liverpool University, the home of The Beatles, the only place I wanted to study. Deepening my knowledge and understanding there, I got into the music scene there, writing for local music rags interviewing the local talent.
I’ve worked in bars and restaurants, always finding a way to bring my love of music to the fore - curating playlists for the small group of bars and restaurants, bringing in live bands and DJs and relishing spinning some tunes when the DJ didn't show up. Nowadays I do festival and events work, with music still filtering through everything I do. I always have something on in the background, always looking to create the perfect soundscape for every situation and mood. I consider myself to a be soundscaper, sound architect if it doesn't sound too grand and dream of creating soundtracks to films, tv shows as well as putting my own musical creations to movement and dance. You can find some old scratchy soundscapes on my Soundcloud.
My lists are always curated with the greatest care - I really want to immerse in the field or focus of the list. My greatest passions are in the kitchen, the yoga mat and wandering the globe and I have countless lists that evoke those places, which you can find on my Spotify.
It's not so much about a formula or a genre for me, but a feeling - being able to put myself in that place when I hear the right song. You can also find me on Instagram @tjeffo7786 and Twitter @TomJeffo
