FRIM FALL FESTIVAL- Stockholm (SE)- VAKAMRU

 

VAKAMRU (England, Sweden, Germany, France, Kenya)

Elvin Brandhi – vocals, field recordings, tapes, vinyls, instruments
KMRU - Electronics
Joel Grip – bass
Antonin Gerbal – drums, percussion

An exploding band bringing together four strong personalities from today's Post-European improvised and experimental music scene. 

Their music is hypnotic and cathartic, made from spasmodic rhythms and words of mouth. Their uncommon use of hands, feet and voices redefine sound and form through acoustic instruments and electronic machines. 

A healing dreaming wake of the ill fated tongue. From the knowledge they developed in bands like [Ahmed] and Yeah You!, they can deploy an ancient and modern music : all at once (now and then).

Originally from Wales, Elvin Brandhi improvises her texts and builds aberrant rhythms from field recordings, tapes, vinyls, instruments and voices.

Kamaru, aka KMRU, is a Nairobi-born, Berlin-based sound artist whose work is grounded on the discourse of field recording, noise, and sound art. His work posits expanded listening cultures of sonic thoughts and sound practice to consider and reflect on auditory cultures beyond the norms.

Joel Grip is a fiddler of situations and transforms them instantaneous through sound and the tension they possess. His tone and timing heralds a long history of bass and its resulting movements.

An eclectic musician, Antonin Gerbal has been developing a unique approach to rhythms and sound for ten years, mainly on drums and percussion.
