Kuboraum Sound Residency Vol. 2 [2LP]

Various Artists - Kuboraum Sound Residency Vol. 2 [2LP]

Berlin's Kuboraum Editions celebrates another round of its ongoing Kuboraum Sound Residency with a bumper 19-track volume of exclusive tracks from its vibrant creative community, music that challenges contemporary logic and prioritizes what really matters: experimentation, exchange and evolution. Like its predecessor, Kuboraum Sound Residency Vol. 2 is assembled like a proper album in the classic sense, something that's supposed to be absorbed from start to finish. And although there are no constraints placed on artists, there's a similar radical philosophy that surges through each and every contribution. From beginning to end, it's music that rewards curious ears and open minds. South Korean artist bela opens the compilation with "Mouton and Blade," shaping their powerful voice into an orchestra of growls alongside a wheezing, instrumental ensemble. And Rome's Cosimo Damiano, who's been a part of the Kuboraum family since day one, turns in an unsettling solo experiment, juxtaposing Irma Ticozzelli's pitch shifted voices with scratchy, psychedelic electronics. Catalan pianist, vocalist and producer Marina Herlop traverses her verdant sonic landscape on "alas," matching her singular voice with birdsong to provide a hopeful interspecies dawn chorus.
