#4773, From the Soundcheck Podcast: Eunbi Kim and Nyokabi Kariũki

From the Soundcheck Podcast series of in-studio performances and interviews, hear pianist Eunbi Kim play new works; also composer and sound artist Nyokabi Kariuki plays her work.

Pianist, collaborator, and mentor Eunbi Kim presents sonic memoirs and meditations on life experiences through her latest batch of collaborative commissioned works. The dreamy soundworld features new pieces by living composers, plus electronics, strings, taped voices and found sounds. Eunbi Kim plays works by Pauchi Sasaki, Angélica Negrón, and Sophia Jani, in-studio.

Also, 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, Kenya 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 percussion. She performs in-studio.  -Caryn Havlik
