Three years ago, I started experimenting with and recording electromagnetic sounds, which eventually became my album Natur. I had the idea of recreating these EM fields live on stage, but realised how complicated it would be to translate it live…
The project continued to evolve and eventually became As Nature,again,together with @nickverstand after multiple calls sharing ideas, iterations how this concept could take shape.
I’ve also always wanted to work with scent as part of a live performance, and I’m so glad that this finally came to fruition with @mareikebo.de
Now it lives in fabric, statics, light, smoke,scent, and sounds! …⚡️
Tomorrow, we present ‘As Nature’ again at @lunchmeatfestivalprague, and I’m excited to show, hear, and smell the piece live again!

KMRU & Odede present Near Silence live a Milano
Voce Triennale - @triennalemilano
27 novembre 2026, dalle 21:00
🎟️ Tickets sul sito di Voce Triennale - LINK IN BIO!
Near Silence pone al centro della sua ricerca le cosiddette quiet areas, territori caratterizzati da bassi livelli di rumore antropico. Attraverso questi luoghi, il progetto riflette sul suono come indicatore della salute degli ecosistemi, sul rumore come forma di inquinamento, e, di contro, sul silenzio come un bene comune da tutelare, condizione che rende possibile l’ascolto e la relazione tra mondo umano e più-che-umano.
L'evento è a cura di ALMARE ed è parte della rassegna The Listeners - @thelisteners.it
Near Silence è un progetto prodotto e curato da ALMARE realizzato grazie al sostegno della Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo nell'ambito del bando Starter, il Ministero della Cultura e la Regione Piemonte; in collaborazione con Kilowatt, Nieuwe Instituut e l'Orto Botanico dell'Università di Torino; con la consulenza scientifica del DENERG – Politecnico di Torino e di ARPA Liguria.

Tre performance, tre modi di esplorare il suono e trasformarne la percezione. Il 22 ottobre, al Teatro alle Tese dell’Arsenale, la serata ha attraversato paesaggi multisensoriali, ricerca interiore e sperimentazione elettronica.
Con AS NATURE, KMRU e Nick Verstand, insieme alla scent artist Mareike Bode, hanno creato un ambiente immersivo in cui suono, immagini, movimento e profumo hanno messo in dialogo natura e tecnologia. In FIVE PRAYERS IN FIVE MOVEMENTS, Joy Guidry ha intrecciato fagotto e sintetizzatori in una composizione meditativa che attraversa vulnerabilità, introspezione e liberazione. A chiudere, CORRUPT PATTERNS di Carrier ha esplorato la continua trasformazione della materia sonora attraverso manipolazioni e campionamenti in tempo reale, tra controllo ed entropia.
Tre visioni che hanno ampliato i confini della performance e aprono nuove possibilità di ascolto.

Three performances, three approaches to exploring sound and transforming the act of listening. On 22 October, at Teatro alle Tese in the Arsenale, the evening moved through multisensory landscapes, introspection and electronic experimentation.
With AS NATURE, @_kamaru_ and @nickverstand, alongside scent artist @mareikebo.de, created an immersive environment where sound, visuals, movement and scent brought nature and technology into dialogue. In FIVE PRAYERS IN FIVE MOVEMENTS, @joy_guidry combined bassoon and synthesisers in a meditative composition exploring vulnerability, introspection and liberation. Closing the evening, CORRUPT PATTERNS by @c_a_r_r_i_e_r_ explored the continuous transformation of sonic material through real-time sampling and manipulation, navigating the tension between control and entropy.
Three distinct visions expanding the boundaries of performance and opening up new possibilities for listening.

New EP out with a close friend @_kamaru_ 💕
ENEO
Cooked up quite organically while hanging out and tapping into a childlike curiosity of sound. Where everything flows without the obstructions created by the mind. My favorite way to work///🥰

As Nature
KMRU /Nick Verstand /Mareike Bode
As Nature continues the ongoing collaboration between sound artist KMRU and visual artist Nick Verstand. Moving between tranquil silences and seismic intensity, the work explores electromagnetic sound spectra through field recordings, drones, noise and evolving harmonic structures. Field recordings blur the boundaries between familiarity and abstraction, developing into emergent harmonics and extended rhythms within KMRU’s expansive soundscapes. Responding to these sonic forms, Verstand creates a visual composition of lightweight fabrics animated by airflow, LEDs and smoke. An olfactory element developed in collaboration with scent artist Mareike Bode further expands the work’s sensory dimensions, introducing a subtle tension between nature and electricity. Together, sound, image, movement, and scent create an immersive environment in which natural forces and technology remain in constant dialogue.
‘As Nature’ is commissioned by Rewire, Barbican, Lunchmeat Festival and Biennale Musica.

KMRU’s practice explores field recordings, drones, noise, and the shifting boundary between environmental sound and abstraction. In this clip from 'Rewire 2026: A Short Documentary', he reflects on 'As Nature', his audiovisual collaboration with Nick Verstand (@nickverstand) and Mareike Bode (@mareikebo.de), where sound, light, movement, and scent come together to create an immersive sensory environment.
'Rewire 2026: A Short Documentary' offers a glimpse into some of the performances, encounters, and ideas that shaped the festival, through the voices of the artists who were part of it. Watch the full documentary via the 🔗 in bio.
The film features reflections and insights from artists including @beverlyglenncopeland, @raulrefree, @mayssajallad, Antony Hamilton (@chunkymove), @asian_dope_boys (Asian Dope Boys), Beatrice Dillon, @_kamaru_ (KMRU), and Ash Fure, alongside footage from across the festival’s four days of bold and inspiring performances, installations, and conversations.
Directed and captured by @mindthefilm, the documentary brings these voices and moments together, moving between performances, encounters, and the spaces that hosted them.

Earlier in May, I was in residency In Liguria, Italy together with Fred Odede (@capturedbyodede), filming, listening and recording for the ‘Near Silence’ project curated by Almare.
In few weeks I’ll be presenting the project, audio and film which premiers at Spellbound Festival, Torino and multichannel piece at Serra Madre Bologna.

‘Near Silence is a project produced and curated by ALMARE, involving Berlin-based Kenyan sound artist KMRU and Kenyan filmmaker Odede. Near Silence focuses its research on quiet areas , territories characterized by low levels of anthropogenic noise - Born from a dialogue with the Acoustics Laboratory of the Department of Energy (DENERG) of the Polytechnic of Turin and with ARPA Liguria, engaged in the mapping of quiet areas , the project developed through a residency in the Beigua Park in the Ligurian Apennines.
Near silence doesn’t document the landscape; rather, it reveals the discrepancy between what is heard, recorded, and reproduced - a becoming of a speculative score.
Extended durations and motifs that resist narrative progression run throughout the piece in limens of quiet, gradually from near-inaudibility to dissolves of texture, field recording and hums. Presented as a quadraphonic piece, it also questions the ontology of silence through transduction itself. If every loudspeaker introduces its own noise floor, every recording its own material residue, and every listener their own perceptual threshold, can these silent waveforms survive mediation?
