Moonchild by EKS-port: Cosmic Inspiration in Music and Art
The Story Behind Moonchild
MC Else recalls her conversation with Dan Davis during an interview for Cover-Up! Newsmagazine on January 21, 2016. She explained how a painting by Dan Davis titled Moonchild sparked her imagination and shaped the track’s lyrics:
"Your picture inspired me to write the lyrics, just as it did for the other tracks. It tells a simple tale of a wonderful being from space—a cosmic person with supernatural powers. To complement the song’s cosmic theme, I decided to include melodic singing in its final part."
While primarily a rapper, MC Else embraced a different vocal style for this project. She shared that her involvement in the Abgrund soundtrack required her to explore a softer, more melodic side of her artistry. This shift is evident not only in Moonchild but also in tracks like Dog, where her tuneful singing adds emotional depth.
Dan Davis remarked on this transition during the interview:
"Miss MC Else, on tracks such as Dog and Moonchild, you’ve shifted from rapping to tuneful singing in parts. Is this a new artistic direction—a kind of coming out?"
In response, MC Else reflected on her musical journey:
"As a child, I sang in a small choir and composed my first songs. During my teenage years, I began rapping but continued to use singing as a way to enhance my music. Now, I’m collaborating with Kromproom on my solo album, which will feature both rapping and singing."
Art and Music in Harmony
The Moonchild painting by Daniel Bosch serves as a perfect visual representation of the song’s ethereal atmosphere. Its cosmic theme aligns seamlessly with the music, creating a multimedia experience that bridges art and sound.
The music for Moonchild was written and produced by Piotr "Kromproom" Krompiewski, with lyrics and vocals by Eliška "MC Else" Krompiewska. EKS-port mixed and mastered the track, ensuring its atmospheric quality resonates deeply with listeners. Released under KROMP ROOM RECORDS in 2015, the music is administrated by GEMA. The accompanying moon photograph, captured by Fatman, adds an extra layer of cosmic beauty to the project.
