KMRU Intonal Festival 2021

The second of this weeks performances from the 2021 edition of Malmös Intonal Festival comes from Joseph Kamaru aka KMRU, a experimental musician and sound artist from Kenya. Kamarus music makes extensive use of field recording techniques to create multilayered, richly textured ambient compositions. Last year, he released three albums, including the outstanding Peel for Editions Mego. Kamarus performance, which took place on June 18 at Malmös beautiful St. Johns Church, sees the artist make use of synth hardware and software on a set that contrasts delicate tones with rough, noisy textures. It makes for a suitable companion to Johanna Knutssons Intonal performance, which took place in the same venue. Intonal has been one of Swedens most exciting music festivals since its first edition was held in 2015. Run by the team behind the citys Inkonst venue, the festival typically combines club nights with oneoff experimental performances in stunning locations across the city.
