Chevy Kev - Chini ya Jua Ft. Luka (prod. by Kimina)

hello again,

this mix is inspired by braid it back by pip millet and my sister's musings on the 25th of may. here i struggle with existential dread and juxtapose it with my journey of a) being positive b) being lit and b) being & loving me. 

bs musings aside, it's also a bunch of songs i've been vibing w heavy for a while and i hope you like them too. i hope you experience something will listening to them. and most of all, i hope you're taking care of yourself.

shoutout to musila and v for five for the unconditional love.

WHO I THOUGHT U WERE

I recently graduated from the  SEMA Music Production course by Santuri East Africa. Sketching Sounds is a complication of 2 sketches I produced, wrote, mixed, and mastered for the course final project.

The process behind the tracks:

1) To The Sun -
For the course final project, 1 of 2 assignments entailed producing a sketch in a genre we are not too fond of, familiar with nor inclined to produce/perform. The genre I selected for this sketch was a deep house.

2)Take The Moment -

The other final project assignment required a sketch that incorporated culture and experimentation. From this sketch, I drew from sampling culture as a basis for creating the sketch's foundation and shaping a unique narrative which I did so by repurposing my own vocals from past unreleased projects, ambient soundscapes, and punchy drum and skit samples from some of my favorite artists (sampled in this sketch are Feel by Jacob Colier and Lianne La Havas, and Rafaels prayer by Sault).

For experimentation, my process of composition was guided by the approach of "a piacere" which is an Italian musical phrase meaning “to your pleasure/at will.” - a philosophy on musical expression where some aspects of a song – such as tempo or dynamics do not need the performer to follow the rhythm strictly. With this approach, in class, we were challenged to create a sketch without a metronome. To work around this limitation I began the track with a sample of a simple yet strong drum loop which I used to hold count and establish a starting pulse for the sketch.
