Remote rhythm lab |
Remote Rhythm Lab is a project in which we have partnered Manchester based artists with four artists from around the world, challenging them to explore virtual methods of collaborating and creating music. The four tracks will be released on Friday 19th June 2020 on Bandcamp – 100% of all Bandcamp and Rhythm Lab’s share of sales on the day will be donated to NAACP Legal Defence Fund in support of the BLM movement.
Artists involved in the project include, Chicago based composer, clarinettist, pianist and vocalist Angel Bat Dawid paired with vocalist and producer Berry Blacc who infuses hip-hop with jazz. Berlin based experimental club music producer and DJ Ani Klang, partnered with producer and DJ, Daniel Ruane - one of the most striking artists to emerge from the landscape of leftfield electronic music. Contours - whose sound explores the spaces, rhythms and textures that sit between House, Jazz, Afro, Latin, broken-beat and Hip Hop - will collaborate with KMRU, a field and sound artist, producer based in Nairobi renowned for his evocative electronic music. Italian native now Manchester based music producer Imaginary Part, who explores leftfield techno, ambient sound, IDM and broken beat, is partnered with PLASTICA, a producer, musician and DJ from Milan, whose futuristic electronic sound is informed by her musical background in piano and bass guitar. Each of the artists involved have documented their experience, offering an insight into how music production can transcend borders. Split into a series of four, one episode will be released each week on Reform Radio’s Facebook page, commencing Friday 26th June. |
