So many beautiful things to fill the space.

@user-830390974: Nice to hear you like it! is it snowing yet there?

First class sonic storytelling - inspiring composition and sound staging!

A first collaboration between Diederik Idenburg  (Amsterdam) and MATJAMI. Diederik's minimal electronic track was used by Victor and Rolff 2014 Paris Fashion show; you can find the original track on Diederik's SC-page. 
MATJAMI added the deep Balinese gongs, melodic Vietnamese gongs, Bali en Mongolian bells and Thai-wood block clicks, and finally a sprinkle of voice in the background.
The Painting of the face was found on the streets of Montpellier by an unknown artist... go have a look!

Diederik Idenburg & MATJAMI - Hear If It Rains

MATJAMI: Acoustic-electronic soundscapes, deep beats, slow trance, empty space: meditation by listening and playing. 
Tip: Use good speakers or headphones to enjoy the rich, deep sounds and binaural recordings.

We three at MATJAMI (Marcel Bode, Tjalling de Leeuw, Mike de Leeuw) develop our sounds and grooves as we interact live, using our bronze, wooden and stringed instruments, (Balinese gamelan & gongs, bowls, Tibetan horns, Chinese guxing & gongs, Javanese kendang drums, timpani, beer bottles) with Native electronics, samples and live loops. The quality and the texture of our sounds are at least as important as the composition. 
We play our sessions 'on the fly', where one of us starts and the rest comes in at leisure... All you hear here was recorded live, with only some simple stereo and eq mixing afterwards.
We love to perform in open areas, theaters, level stage, and spaces with a special feel to them; a small audience is just as nice.
Recently we started collaborating with other audio-artists like VictorYibril, Fintan O'Brien and Phlip Smith (G.A.), Miraela, and Augenmerk, combining their very different music styles, field recordings and soundscapes with our beats and sounds.
