Kimyan

Kimyan is a Congolese-Austrian musician, producer, filmmaker and painter - an interdisciplinary artist which incorporates African instruments, patterns and influences into his music, achieving a rare organic and human quality amongst the cold electronics. Deep explorations into his Congolese roots have led him to create complex mosaics of ancient imagery and sound with modern aesthetics.

With his Live Concert, the songs and their stories transport the listener through colourful sonic landscapes and various timbres. Through drumming, sampling and playing live, the music happens ‘in the moment’, giving the concert a warm and organic quality amongst the often formulaic approaches to performing electronic music.
