Kutiman

As comfortable scoring orchestral suites as he is bridging sounds from Fela-inspired horn arrangements, electric era-Miles funk, classical Indian ragas, or even chopping environmental field recordings, Kutiman’s journey in music & video a story of complete absorption in sonic & visual fusions.

Having achieved worldwide acclaim for his role in Netflix music documentary, Presenting Princess Shaw, alongside his Thru You projects, where he wrote new songs editing together clips of amateur musicians on YouTube, reaching ten million views in only two weeks (voted Top 50 Inventions of 2009 by Time Magazine), Kutiman has applied an impeccable attention to detail over a series of releases from 2016’s inventive “scuzzy desert epic” (The Guardian) 6am, 2020’s psychedelic feast, Wachaga and 2021’s Surface Currents, a 45min ambient outing of weightless piano drones and modular synths.
