Bleep

Kenyan composer/producer KMRU launches his own OFNOT imprint with a new LP entitled Dissolution Grip. Inspired by a recent run of touring, the album folds in field recordings and sound work from all over the globe, which KMRU then pieced together during a stay at Berlin’s renowned UDK school where he rigorously studied waveforms and the roots of synthesis under the tutelage of Jasmine Guffond. To this end, none of these “snapshots” exist in their natural form on Dissolution Grip, as all have been digitally altered to express new sonic frequencies and motifs. While still functionally ambient in nature, the rich scope of KMRU’s work here borders on the symphonic.
