Pre-Order the forthcoming album 'Siku' by Nicola Cruz:

nicolacruz.lnk.to/siku

'Arka was composed with Esteban Valdivia, musician, composer and neighbor. His tremendous work keeping Andean music alive, through his own interpretation, has been a great inspiration for me this year. He converges with my contemporary music ideas in which experimentation, harmonic clashes and dissonance are key factors. Performing under altered states of consciousness (or seeking them out through performance) helps create a clear connection between the terrestrial and the transcendental, delivering the body as a means at the service of the music. Arka alludes to fire, a dual ritual that represents once again the practice of the ‘siku’, a dialogue between the ‘Ira’ and the ‘Arka’, two parts that make up the same musical instrument.'

- Nicola Cruz
 
Arka was recorded in the caves of the Ilaló volcano in August.

Arka

Nicola Cruz - Arka (Con Esteban Valdivia)

KingRat is an instrumental Reggae group from Atlanta and the brain child of Matt Gregg Mansfield, formed with Jeremy Saude, Sam Epstein, Ryan Rudolph and Julian Morena. A live band creating Dub music live, in a style influenced by roots reggae dub circa the mid 1970's- but with more of a focus on extended improvisation.KingRat plays long instrumental reggae versions with dub excursions, extended experimentations by melodica, Tenor Saxophone, organ and synths riding on a wave of undulating riddims and large ambient sonic spaces. In order to recreate the feeling and process of Dub remixing, the band is all routed into a sound board complete with reverb and delay units and tweaked and mixed live by Matt as he plays bass. This gives a certain totality to the sound and produces the unique effect of allowing the entire mix to be continously mutated and streched, with instruments dropping out and then returning, drastically shifting the emphasis of the different elements of the music. There are many styles that influence KingRat's rhythms besides Reggae... touches of funk, ska, rhythm and blues, various latin styles and Jungle pop up in KingRat's set.
