About The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble
TKDE started off as an audiovisual project back in 2000, influenced by old silent movie directors such as Murnau and Lang, but also the animations of Jan Švankmajer or the films of the Quay Brothers. Jason Köhnen (aka Bong-Ra) and Gideon Kiers started creating soundtracks to old silent movies (Nosferatu, Metropolis) and progressively composed new music inspired by these images which eventually became TKDE.
