SEARCHING FOR THE SUBLIME

SCRYING THE LANDSCAPE XV w. LA SERPIENTE ‘SEARCHING FOR THE SUBLIME’ [04.10.2023]

“A mixtape of unreleased music and a few collaborations with friends which I thought would be a perfect mix for a Monday listen.”

KMRU, also known as Joseph Kamaru, is a sound artist originally from Nairobi and currently based in Berlin. He explores sound to convey various interpretations in his work, drawing from his listening experiences in Nairobi and beyond and grounded in the discourse of field recording, noise, and sound art.

Working under the guidance of Jasmine Guffund at Berlin’s Universität der Künste (better known as UDK), KMRU looked at waveforms and embarked on a process where he would “write scores from the shapes, gradually turning the scores into raw synth sounds.”
 

Kamaru’s ambient-experimental music has taken him to the Barbican, Berlin Atonal, Présences
électronique, and seen releases on Editions Mego, Subtext, Seil Records.

His new LP ‘Dissolution Grip,’ released on his OFNOT imprint, marks a shift in his approach, blending field recordings with synthesized sounds, hinting at his evolving musical direction.

With all that in mind, we thought we’d ask Kamaru to put us together this week’s mixtape for a Monday… let’s get stuck in.

INTERVIEW

KMRU - The Ransom Note 'Monday Is OK' Mixtape

Marco Segato is a sonic explorer, producer and live performer currently based in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The concept of the “sublime” in the context of aesthetics and psychology is a fascinating
exploration of how certain experiences and stimuli can evoke intense emotions and
transcendence in individuals. The sublime is often associated with feelings of awe, wonder, and overwhelming greatness, surpassing ordinary experiences and pushing the boundaries of human comprehension.
It possesses a sense of power and might that can evoke both admiration and fear. This power
might be represented in nature’s forces, like a roaring waterfall, or in the skillful execution of art, like a captivating music composition.
It can lead to a sense of transcendence, where one feels connected to something beyond the
individual self, often involving spiritual or metaphysical dimensions.
