Translucent는 Mogwaa가 개인적인 작업들을 발매하기 위해 설립한 레이블 Magnetic Paws의 첫번째 앨범으로 총 10개의 트랙으로 구성되어있다. 이 앨범은 그간 해오던 그의 작업방식과 달리 컴퓨터와 미디장비 등을 사용하지 않고 오직 4트랙 카세트 테이프 레코더를 이용해 만들어졌으며 리듬 머신을 제외한 모든 악기들을 Mogwaa가 직접 연주하였다.

컴퓨터를 활용해 쉽고 편하고 빠른작업을 할 수있는 시대에 오히려 옛날 방식의 작업 방법으로 되돌아가 한 곡을 완성하기 위해 곡의 시작과 끝을 오롯이 함께해야 하고 또 수없이 반복을 해야하는 불편함을 감수하는 질문에 그냥 그래야 하는 작업이라 그렇게 했다고 답하는 그는 기타, 베이스, 월리쳐 일렉트릭 피아노, Maestro Rhythm King, Roland CR8000등 우리가 사랑하는 음반들에서 들을수있는 소리를 가지고 특별한 무언가를 만들어 내기 위해 수많은 시간을 악기와 카세트 레코더 앞에 앉아 보냈으며 그 경험을 듣는 사람들도 함께 느꼈으면 좋겠다는 마음을 이 앨범에 담았다.

"Translucent" stands as the inaugural album of Mogwaa, released under his personally established label, Magnetic Paws. Comprising a total of 10 tracks, this album represents a departure from his previous creative process. Unlike his prior works, "Translucent" was meticulously crafted using only a 4-track cassette tape recorder, with Mogwaa personally performing all the instruments, except for the rhythm machine.

In an era characterized by the ease, convenience, and speed of computer-assisted music production, Mogwaa's choice to return to the vintage methods of yesteryears prompts a compelling question: why embrace the inconvenience of starting and finishing each track from scratch, enduring countless repetitions? His answer is as straightforward as it is profound – it is through this arduous journey that he endeavors to create something truly exceptional. Mogwaa dedicated countless hours seated before his instruments and cassette recorder, capturing the essence of beloved sounds found in classics, such as guitar, bass, Wurlitzer electric piano, Maestro Rhythm King, Roland CR-8000. With "Translucent," he encapsulates not just his artistic journey but also an invitation for listeners to partake in the same sentiments.
