KMRU is the project of Berlin/Nairobi-based electronic musician and sound-artist Joseph Kamaru. According to his bio, KMRU is uniquely positioned between the rarely-married cultures of ambient and African musics, entwining his compositions with field recordings from his native Kenya and the surrounding countries of East Africa.Though the deep, tectonic slowness of his music can be compared to the work of Lawrence English, William Basinski, Stars of the Lid.
Logue is the new album which is out on May 14th via Injazero Records. “Every track reflects an event, space or location,” Joseph writes. “The pieces are developed from field recordings, improvisation and spontaneity.”
