PRESS PLAY

Press Play is a series of events organized by the Goethe-Institut Netherlands in the form of listening sessions, where special guests are invited to bring along music to talk about and analyse.

The<a href="https://2024.sonicacts.com/" title="https://2024.sonicacts.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Sonic Acts Biennale 2024</a> is in full swing in various venues in Amsterdam, bringing sound artists from all over the world to the city. This includes Joseph Kamaru (<a href="https://kmru.bandcamp.com/" title="https://kmru.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">KMRU</a>), a sound artist born in Nairobi, living in Berlin. In collaboration with Sonic Acts, we were able to win KMRU for a listening session at the Goethe-Institut. On the following evening (Thursday, 7 March), an evening program with KMRU will take place as part of the Sonic Acts Biennale (<a href="https://2024.sonicacts.com/programme/listening-anew" title="https://2024.sonicacts.com/programme/listening-anew" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">link to event</a>). Press Play with KMRU opens up an in-depth exploration of the artist's discography and offers insights into his influences and contemporaries that have shaped his unique sound. This session is an invitation to immerse yourself in the richly creative sonic spheres that KMRU brings with him.

For <a href="https://kmru.info/" title="https://kmru.info/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">KMRU</a>, sound is a sensory medium through which social, material and conceptual interpretations manifest themselves. He carries with him a fund of listening experiences from Nairobi and other places he has visited and expands his sonic practices through compositions, installations and live concerts. His performances at the Barbican, Berlin Atonal and Présence électronique have earned him international acclaim. KMRU has established a firm place for himself in experimental ambient music and has already released on Editions Mego, Subtext and Seil Records.

Maud Seuntjens is a curator and writer based in Antwerp, Belgium, whose work focuses on interdisciplinary sound art exhibitions, sound programmes and educational projects. She is currently a member of the curatorial team of Sonic Acts and for Press Play she will go into conversation with KMRU.
