about

In the residency series Extratool, Extrapool hands over its sound studio to a musician or (sound) artist for a few days. This person then invites a colleague to collaborate on two new compositions. At the centre of this series is Yuri Landman's range of instruments: string and percussion instruments on which coloured dots indicate harmonic divisions that deepen and colour the various sounds.
During two weekends in March of 2021 Marina Tadic took it upon herself to work on this third iteration. She asked Adam Harding to collaborate. Together they are the heart of the band Kidbug.


Marina Tadic and Adam Harding: ‘”Endless Waves” was written and recorded exclusively on Yuri’s microtonal instruments, with our bandmate Thor Harris adding percussion, bowed cymbal and other objects from his home in Austin, Texas.

“Cloudbursting” is a more conventional Kidbug song, written on electric guitar in open tuning. We utilized Yuri’s instruments to add atmospherics to the song, along with hacked telephone for vocals. Our US bandmates contributed their parts remotely, with Thor in Austin, and Bobb Bruno in Los Angeles.

We are grateful to Extrapool for the opportunity to explore Yuri's instruments in our own intuitive way and write music that, without this residency, would not have otherwise been written.’


Kidbug
Kidbug consists of musicians from the American recordlabel Joyful Noise Recordings. The group was founded in December of 2018 by Australian Adam Harding (Dumb Numbers) and Dutch Marina Tadic (Eerie Wanda). They met at the label’s annual Christmas Party in Indianapolis. They stayed in touch and wrote songs to each other long-distance. With the help of friends Thor Harris (Swans), Bobb Bruno (Best Coast) and Dale Crover (Melvins) they recorded their album at Postal Recordings in Indianapolis. They are currently working at their second album.
