Kimyan Law is a musician and producer, who started making music using instruments improvised from various everyday objects at a very young age.
Deep explorations into his Congolese roots have led him to create complex mosaics of ancient sound with modern aesthetics. Having its roots in drums and bass, the music flies far beyond the confines of that often-formulaic genre, expanding sonic ranges and disrupting standard arrangements.
Detailed production and an interdisciplinary approach are quintessential for Kimyan’s stories: from his traditional face painting, to the symbolism in both the arrangements and artworks, to the narrative interwoven into each work
Having its roots in drums and bass, the music flies far beyond the confines of that often-formulaic genre, expanding sonic ranges and disrupting standard arrangements. Kimyan Law incorporates African instruments and influences into his setup, achieving a rare organic and human quality amongst the cold electronics. Glittering cascades of tuned percussion are expertly woven into layers of state-of-the-art bass and the result is a stunning, future/primitive array of romantic and cinematic music that, with its sheer humanity, seduces everyone who experiences it.
