Metatempo by Kana

This work is a reflection about time, how it expands, shrinks and takes on different rhythms and forms. It all depends on how it is translated. Time changes whoever observes it and it’s equally modified by the observer itself.

The investigation of time leads to the research for a balance between our finite and limited nature and the indefinite nature of something that can neither be touched nor seen. 

Thus, musically, this research translates into an alternation and a mix of melody and noise, it goes through dilated atmospheres, close to drone music, and dry and essential grooves.

I chose the instrumentation while going in parallel with the search for essentiality and simplicity: synthesizers, a few sampling and the use of noinput mixer as a source of sounds / noise and to provide the manipulation of the sound material.

The sound, the tracklist, in which the order of the tracks and the choice of the titles indicate the willing to relate to a journey, so as the idea of releasing a full album in 2021, are all consciously choices out of our time.

It is necessary to let be external by the object that one wants to deepen. If it's not possible to completely emancipate oneself from the temporal condition, it is possible instead to choose not to be subjected to it. Nowadays telling about time, claiming its value and centrality for our life without undergoing its impositions, fashions and phobias, it is and wants to be an act of resistance.

Kana's musical research deepens the exploration of music as a possible spiritual fuel. Grooves and melodies alternate and intertwine creating a unique flow where you can navigate with your eyes closed.
Errors, noises, and drones draw an idea of music as communication, expression and personal research.
