Description:
Representing Electronic Music/Ambient in Nairobi, Kenya by 2020 KMRU, a project by Nairobi, Kenya-based sound artist/producer JOSEPH KAMARU, is a representative of the rapidly growing experimental music scene in Nairobi and beyond. Selected by RESIDENT ADVISOR as one of the "15 EAST AFRICAN ARTISTS YOU NEED TO HEAR" in 2018, and a regular participant in the NYEGE NYEGE FESTIVAL, KMRU is a 2020 release from a man of note.A perfect mix of field recordings and electronics,We are creating a new form of ambient music! Source: Provided by the seller/distributor (2024/08/16) Kenyan sound artist Joseph Kamaru recorded his album Peel within 48 hours, shortly after returning hometo Nairobi following a trip toMontreal for the Mutek festival, and right before the COVID-19 lockdown. Peels six pieces fall into the haunted loops school of ambient music, capturing brief snapshots of electro-acoustic sound and setting them spinning with subtle shifts and alterations. Unlike other artists well known for this type of work, such as William Basinski and the Caretaker, KMRUs music doesnt address themes related to memory, aging, or the passage of time. It feels live, breathing, and radiant rather than slowly fading away into the void of history. He embeds natural sounds such as trickling water and distant bird calls deep into his glowing sound-fields, and some pieces seem to rock back and forth like a ship on the high seas. Klang is the albums most densely layered track, as well as its stormiest, but all of its tension is washed away with Insubstantial, which resembles a solo trek through an abandoned fairground. Most breathtaking of all is the stirring 23-minute title track, which expresses a sense of slow-motion impending doom through gradually building loops and textures, yet does so with gentler tones rather than harsh, suffocating ones. ~ Paul Simpson Rovi
