Sunda Arc return with the second release in their series on ANTISPACE.

Diving deeper into their signature sound, the duo blends rich electronic textures with organic instrumentation, drawing on mystical and ethnic influences. Meditative rhythms and the haunting tones of instruments like the duduk and ney create a deep, immersive listening experience. A powerful journey into sound - hypnotic, cinematic, and timeless.

A Tune for Us

Debris is the first single from my forthcoming EP, titled: 'In My Head It's Green'. 

The EP was made in autumn/winter 2024, in a very productive few months of music-making, which came around due to tutoring music production, which made me look inward at my own production techniques and try to refine things.

Making music quickly and demonstrating how to do so became a priority, so the rough ideas for this EP appeared quite spontaneously. I then spent a lot of time on the minor details, getting really clinical with the drum programming and sound design.

Off the back of my album 'Echo Point Drive' which came out last year, I really wanted to push the bar further with sound design and synthesis.

The artwork was created by artist Kidfue, (kidfue.com) depicting my dog, Buddy in a park. We got Buddy last year, and spending more time outdoors with him has really helped inspire my music.

'In My Head It's Green' is out on February 19th.

"The Colours Inside" intertwines a handful of themes of the soundtrack of the upcoming documentary "Austroschwarz" in to one carefully crafted story, showcasing what plethora of emotional depth and colour lies underneath an often unregarded surface. Each instrument, thoughtfully recorded, finds its place within this pieces' narrative. This release also marks Kimyan Law's compositional debut for a feature film, and is the first glimpse of the upcoming 19-track original motion picture soundtrack.

Sunda Arc are brothers Nick Smart and Jordan Smart. Best known as key members of Norwich based alternate-jazz trio Mammal Hands, Sunda Arc channels the duos love of electronic and dance music, without losing any of their deep musicality. Drawing on techno, electronica, neo-classical and post-rock influences, Sunda Arc compose and perform using both electronic and acoustic instruments, including analogue synthesisers, home-made software patches, piano, saxophones and bass clarinet - all finessed and channelled through their own unique creative strategies. Integrating electronic elements and experimentation with the expressiveness and energy of acoustic instruments and live performance, Sunda Arcs music is expansive, compelling and fun in equal parts.
