No Seas: ‘Certain emotions turn false as soon as one articulates them, No Seas had learned from bitter experience. He was subjecting his new emotion to the acid test’
Khôra is an experimental music project of Toronto resident Matthew Ramolo aimed at blurring the lines that separate the organic and synthetic, improvisation and composition. The emphasis in Khôra’s music is distributed between interlocking melodies (nested arpeggios, broken fugal voices, etc.) performed on acoustic and electronic instruments and experimentation involving field recordings and analogue/digital processing. From moving sparseness to fervent density, the music summons the spirit of eastern modes, contemporary classical, avant and sacred minimalism, experimental rock, and various forms of electronic music.
Mystery guitar and electronics from France form this powerful intense duo playing improvised music that encompasses strong expressionism as much as sweetness and minimalism. “Tough stridencies, chirpings, and gurgles gush from the bowels of a loop, analog and antediluvian console or synthesizer (also analog), the ‘vocals’ are cartoony and cyclothymic guitar. It’s full of bumps, reefs, nooks, and humour.” Review. (Paris, France) https://soundcloud.com/interwaving-strecht/interwaving-strecht
