Kine 2 by Roel Funcken

KINE started as a way of dealing with a large body of work. Over the past year I made a lot of music — mostly modular, sometimes hybrid with software — and I eventually divided it into categories. One of those categories consisted of tracks that felt raw, process-driven, and unfinished in the best possible way. That material became KINE 1.

The Bandcamp listening party around KINE 1 changed something for me. Sitting back, making a cup of tea, and listening together with like-minded people created enough distance that I wasn’t “judging my own work” anymore — I was actually listening to it. That surprised me. In that context, the tracks held up, and the conversation around them made the whole thing feel alive rather than archived.

There was still another group of tracks left — pieces that connected with me even more, both emotionally and technically. After the response to KINE 1, continuing this flow felt like the most honest move. So KINE 2 became a reality. These tracks share the same process-first mindset, but they feel more focused, more resolved — not polished, but intentional.

The fact that people actually bought the music wasn’t the goal, but yeah… it worked. That support went straight back into the system (literally — new Eurorack modules), which makes the whole loop feel beautifully functional.

track 11 "bagai" is a collab with David Rothbaum
