Kabaal

World Why Web is Kabaal aka Jakob Warmenbol's first solo album. It is the hallucinated and brilliant fruit of a long journey of exploring a more adventurous setup for improvised drum performance. Reinventing the work with sensor equipped drum kits, Kabaal playfully improvises songs with samples ranging from car engines, to Paul Dunmall's bagpipes, Ligeti's harpsichord piece Hungarian Rock, or a Chinese television series from the seventies. You get it : just about anything as long as it isn't drums! This innovative approach allows him to create dialogs between instinctive and awesome drumming and improvised digital poetry. As if Autechre was meeting and merging with Zach Hill and Tony Allen at the same time. It also extends and changes the functionality of the drum kit, making it a tool to create odd melodies and landscapes of atonal synths and distorted noise.
