Interview: In Conversation With Myselor: Everything Is Cosmic Expression
Featuring Myselor
Myselor discusses Cosmic Expression, consciousness, change, creative freedom and the personal experiences behind his most ambitious project to date.
With Cosmic Expression, Myselor has delivered the largest and most personal body of work of his career. Released through Evolution Chamber, the album unfolds across themes of transformation, self-discovery, acceptance and awareness, building on ideas explored throughout previous releases while refusing to be confined by genre expectations. Rather than presenting a fictional concept, the project reflects lived experience, with each chapter forming part of a much wider journey. We caught up with Myselor to discuss the long road towards the album, his relationship with change and why music remains the most honest language he knows.
Cosmic Expression feels like a much bigger statement than a collection of individual tracks. At what point did you realise you were building an album rather than simply writing music release by release?
I always wanted to make another album, but because of technical limitations and life difficulties, it was impossible. The vision of the album began to appear in my mind sometime in 2020. My following releases/EPs 'Evolution', 'Rebirth', 'Soul Power', and 'Intuition' were the build-up. I felt that the moment was getting closer, and after those EPs, I could no longer hold back the birth of 'Cosmic Expression'. In April 2024, I finished building my first proper home studio, so for the first time, I felt comfortable and ready to fully commit to the process. I began working on the album in July 2024 and completed it in August 2025. I added only four 'older' tracks that I had made during the creative period of the previous EPs. It's the biggest project I've ever made.
The language around the project regularly touches on consciousness, transformation and self-discovery. Were those ideas present from the first sketches, or did they emerge naturally as the album developed?
These ideas have been the focus of my attention for many years now, and they will continue to be so. I don’t create concepts for the sake of an album. I’m simply sharing my journey as honestly as I can.
Breaking Chains focused on liberation, while Waves Of Change seems more concerned with accepting movement and uncertainty. How deliberately have you mapped out the themes across the different chapters of the album?
The themes unfolding in the four samplers released before the full album's launch are a conscious choice, of course, intended to prepare/set the listener up in a way that I believe is essential for them to fully absorb the album's overall concept. This isn't an imaginary storytelling, but personal experiences I've had in my lifetime. Also, they resonate with the overall purpose I have as an artist, to bring the listeners closer to themselves.
Evolution Chamber has become known for supporting music that sits outside straightforward dancefloor expectations. How important was the label partnership in allowing Cosmic Expression to take the shape it has?
Cosmic Expression was finished before I met the Evolution Chamber guys, so they had no say in the creative process or the overall concept. The shape of my work depends entirely on my own decisions. That said, the label partnership has been a very important thing because Evolution Chamber simply accepted me exactly as I am, both as a person and as an artist. They never interfered with their own opinions or ideas about what the album should be or how a particular track should sound. I make the music, I represent my work, and they are simply here to help push the project out, nothing more. And in my opinion, THAT is exactly what a label is for.
When you're working on material that carries a strong conceptual or emotional message, what comes first in the studio: the musical idea, the atmosphere, or the underlying theme?
The most important thing is always to express, as honestly as I can, the feeling I'm experiencing during the creative process. Music/idea itself comes first, before sounds, thoughts, concepts, or words. Everything else grows naturally after that. I don't create ideas. Ideas already exist. I'm simply trying, as much as I can, to translate them into this field without the interference of my own thoughts or selfish expectations, to become a bridge.
Open Sky and Enigma appear to explore territory beyond traditional Drum & Bass structures. Do you consciously think about genre boundaries when writing, or are you simply following wherever the creative process leads?
I used to, but not any more. After years of inner work, I choose to put my ego aside and just let the music speak for itself. A musical genre is a description of music that already exists. If I limit myself to copying, pasting, or trying to recreate what already exists, then I'll always prevent new, unexplored ideas from coming to the surface. I want to communicate, and music is my language. Music, not descriptions of music.
Many producers talk about using music as a form of personal expression, but Cosmic Expression seems to place that idea front and centre. What have you learned about yourself through the process of making this album?
The core idea of Cosmic Expression is that everything is a cosmic expression, including ourselves. It's not about me expressing something cosmic. It's about recognising that we are already part of that expression.
I can't simply pick out one realisation of what I have learned about myself, because they all belong to the same journey. There is nothing to hide really. Everything on the album is part of my learning process and reflects what I've discovered along the way.
There is a strong sense of movement running through the project so far. Has your own perspective on change evolved during the period in which the album was written?
Absolutely. Change is happening constantly, even if I want it or not. Change is a law of the universe, not something we choose. What we do choose is whether we embrace it or resist it and suffer the consequences.
Outside of music, what books, experiences, philosophies or influences have been shaping your thinking while creating Cosmic Expression?
This is a beautiful question, but I don't think I can answer it by mentioning a few books, philosophies, or experiences. The influences behind Cosmic Expression could fill an entire book by themselves. Every experience, every conversation, every challenge, every moment has shaped my thinking in one way or another. It is pointless to cut out small pieces and present them as examples, because each is important and together they form the bigger picture. That said, a combination of ancient (and modern) philosophy from China, India and Greece, together with a dive into history, science, psychology and fantasy, realisations and confirmations by personal experiences and the experience of music and nature, has been enough to shape me into the person I am today. I also consider myself very lucky to know the Greek language. The depth, detail and history within many Greek words are enough to teach you important lessons about life and to shape your mind in ways you could not imagine.
Once listeners reach the end of the full album in October, what do you hope stays with them after the final track fades out?
A good feeling of empowerment.
A slightly sideways one: if you could revisit any point in your life with the perspective you have now, would you give your younger self advice, or let the lesson unfold exactly as it did?
I would be very naïve to think, even for a second, that I could teach my younger self better than life itself.
You're stranded on a desert island with one turntable, a generator and one record. What's it going to be?

Throughout the conversation, Myselor returns to the same idea from different angles: expression without force, change without resistance and creativity without attachment to expectation. Those themes sit at the heart of Cosmic Expression, a project that reflects years of personal exploration as much as musical development. With the full album now complete, Evolution Chamber provides the platform, but the vision remains unmistakably his own.
