Sonic Postcards and Feeling Music By Nyokabi Kariuki
Composer and sound artist Nyokabi Kariuki makes music that somehow draws on experimental electronics, contemporary classical music, pop, and sound art without settling into any one of them. She divides her time between New York, Maryland and Nairobi,\xa0Kenya and works with piano, voice, electronics, and several instruments from the African continent, including the kalimba and djembe, and sometimes arranges her work for strings, and/or\xa0percussion. Her new LP is called Feeling Body, and it sort of tells the story of Kariuki\u2019s experience living with long COVID, although not in a conventional narrative way. Nyokabi Kari\u0169ki performs music from both her EP peace places: kenyan memories\xa0and the LP,\xa0Feeling Body, in-studio.
