Currently studying sonic arts in Berlin, Joseph Kamaru aka KMRU is a Nairobi-born, Berlin-based sound artist whose work is grounded on the discourse of field recording, noise, and sound art. His work posits expanded listening cultures of sonic thoughts and sound practices, a proposition to consider and reflect on auditory cultures beyond the norms, and an awareness of surroundings through creative compositions, installations, and performances. In 2020 he released Peel on the avant-garde label Editions Mego with follow up albums Opaquer, Jar, and logue, each on different labels.

For this month’s epsiode of Voluminous Arts, host Gavilán Rayna Russom invites DJ, producer and artist quest?onmarq as her guest. For hour one quest?onmarq contributes ‘scrying for divine sines’ - "a meditation on contraction, expansion. austerity and excess. day and night. ever spiraling onward. waveform surfing toward greater realization of self via vibration.” For hour two Rayna shares “perspectives on ‘house’ as an ancestral healing technology”, a dance floor oriented mix of sounds that connect with the complex lineage of ‘house’ sounds while eschewing the whitened tropes that have become associated with the style as a genre within the European marketplace.

Man Rei, aka Kristin Reiman, is an artist and musician based in Frankfurt. On discovering their work we were instantly taken by their hypnotic vocals that illuminate their perceptive and poetic writing.

As with their music, they approach this mix with a focused narrative. The storyteller morphs rhythmically through disparate voices, their words carrying us through shadowy atmospheres of music concrète and new age. Yet there's a lightness and playfulness that leads us through gothic overtones towards moments of radiant vocals, a carefree energy enticing us into a lucid daydream.

Man Rei's album 'Health' for Somewhere Between Tapes is due later this year.
