Live sets - Kalaha Moon

It's finally summer - the birds are chirping, the sun is shining. And we are very happy to present you a new Traumcast today. This time the 3 guys from @kalahamoon gives us the very special honor and have conjured up a beautiful LIVE set. Enjoy listening :)

 - and of course: here is our little interview:

1) How did you fare during the pandemic? what have you learned in this special time?

Before all of that happened we were preparing for an exciting summer tour. A moment of settlement wasn’t really a thing until then, so the pandemic hit us on the brakes and gave us time to take some more responsibility as individuals. 

Being an artist in the times where all the events stopped, was definitely very challenging. But it also taught us to be open to new ways and to not always sticking to the same old patterns. That's why it's important to be aware of the situations we face and live life to the fullest, in any given moment. A big part of the whole process was the hunt for creativity, that forced us to look more in our inner selves. 

After our plans got canceled we decided to produce our latest EP Nangijala, a piece of work which gave us motivation again. The extra freetime gave us the patience to work with a lot of intention in the music, both with publishing it and making a vinyl pressing. 

Anxiety and hopelessness was definitely related to recent times, both in our personal life and in the world around us. Coming closer together around these topics helped us to get to know each other even better than before. We realised that there was more to the project than just the music and that we had to be together, with more depth than just on a professional level.

2) Do you sometimes argue about different styles you want to make in your tracks? how do you deal with conflicts?

Instead of thinking in styles and genres, we have all together found a way to combine our tastes. Because we have been trustful in the intuition of each other and in the freedom to express ourselves. Our music comes from jamming and playing with different instruments, so the process comes quite naturally. 

When you get a funky guitar riff on a trancy bassline with some ancient vocals on top, you feel like traveling through unexplored worlds. Finally the fusion with electronic colours make it so much more diversified, that surprises wait at every next moment. 

But sometimes we do experience conflicts surrounding goals, commitments and communication. We are all deeply into the project, but at the same time we have certain differences about aspects of the band. This is often being discussed, so we listen to each other and meet in the middle of our opinions. It's all about compromise and consideration, when you want to create projects together. This leads us to deal easily with fights and have acceptance towards each other as colleagues and friends.


3) Is there a biggest wish for the future that you want to realize as a trio?

You know, music is a medicine that helps the mind to heal and overcome the daily bumps of the road. This is a factor that we as creators of the music and our listeners have in common. Therefore our wishes are to keep creating alternatives which balances out the toxic modern ways of living. To be a part of a movement, which is transparent towards gender, status and geographical placement. Music brings hope and freedom, which is a big motivation to spread this powerful energy in the world and connect people with each other. 

We are dreaming about going out on a bigger tour outside of Europe. And even if we get plenty of creativity in our studio in Berlin, we would like to travel the world together to connect and learn about different cultures of society. This would help us get inspired and evolve, both as a band and as human beings.

biography:
Kalaha Moon was brought together as a result of an endless road trip. Inspired by the Australian outback, tribal calls and the endless mass of space, worlds collided when Patrick, Frej and Max formed a musical constellation deep in Berlin’s concrete jungle.
Raised as children of music, their different musical backgrounds all come together to form a sweet twist of sounds that are influenced by Ancient Viking tales, psychedelic rock ’n’ roll, a touch of funk and tropical reggae rhythms.


Combining ancient & modern instruments, mystical vocals & deep basslines, Kalaha Moon is a live band that delivers a fresh outtake to electronic music. Crafted purely through senses of intuition, their unique vibe came alive during their debut concert at Garbicz Festival 2018 after a short period of playing together.

This led to an unexpected opportunity to showcase their music at a magical gathering called Moyn Moyn Festival, trance-forming the dance floor with enthusiastic groovers. That defining moment allowed this special project to evolve into something more than simply a vision in the dreams.
