In the residency series 'Extratool', Extrapool cedes its studio space for a few days to a duo of musicians or (sound-)artists to make two new compositions. For this first of three cassette editions we team up with Valkhof Festival. The cassette was presented there live in the medieval Sint Nicolas Chapel. In the week leading up to this concert, Dali Muru & the Polyphonic Swarm worked in the concentrated residency format of Extratool. Working with percussion, voice and the instrument collection of Yuri Landman before recording the result on reel-tape at the Willem Twee Studios in Den Bosch. There, additional sine-waves may have entered the compositions.
Dali Muru & the Polyphonic Swarm
Dali Muru & the Polyphonic Swarm sit in the middle of a Venn diagram consisting of medieval inspired troubadour poetry, cinema soundtrack and primordial electronics. Initially known as FITH formed in Berlin by the duo writer/filmmaker/vocalist Dalia Neis, and the composer/producer Enir Da. Gesturing toward ancient lineages of poetry and storytelling, Dali Muru is driven by the spell of the spoken word, minimal percussive refrains, oneiric textures & deep melodic synths, channeling cinematic imagery, enigmatic narratives & spiritual frenzy.
