Crazy Shaker Man
If you watch the video of the recording session we did on march 12th in Rongo Village you won´t be surprised that our working title of this session is called “the crazy man recordings”….
It was our last session at the Nyanza region. A few days later we went to the east coast of Kenya.
During the last days I tried to notate some of the melodies, the musicians in Rongo Village were singing. I played these melodies on a very high xylophone to create a kind of a funny fugue based on the melodies we have recorded. For the pretty ironic beat I played some straight figures with brushes on different sheets of papers and again I used my wooden bassdrum.
