about
Sven Kacirek studied drums and marimba at the conservatory in Arnhem/NL, at the Musikhochschule in Hamburg and at the Drummers Collective in New York City. Besides his cooperation with musicians and bands like Shabaka Hutchings, Ogoya Nengo, Marc Ribot, John McEntire, Sofia Jernberg, Nils Frahm, Hauschka and F.S. Blumm, Sven has composed and performed music for modern dance theatre pieces and contemporary ballet. He worked with choreographers like Angela Guerreiro, Filip van Huffel, Antje Pfundtner, Johnny Lloyd among others. In 2009 Sven Kacirek composed the soundtrack of the movie »Five Ways to Dario« by Dario Aguirre.
This is the first time »The Kenya Sessions« is available on Vinyl including one bonus track. For »The Kenya Sessions«, Sven Kacirek traveled through Kenya, equipped with loads of microphones. A pretty solid idea. On »The Kenya Sessions« we find recordings of kenyan singers and musicians carefully composed to a flow of 15 pieces mixed with Percussion-, Marimba- and Piano-elements. What strikes most while listening is the outstanding quality of the recordings and the accuracy of Sven’s work. It’s hard to tell which elements are added via overdub and what was recorded in Kenya which results in a very organic listening experience. That’s when a »drumming kenyan community’s welcome ceremony« gently forms into the track »Dear Anastasia« sung by 80 year old kenyan women Ogoya Nengo. Sven’s sensitivity for »the gentle tone« which could cast a spell on the listener already on »The Palmin Sessions«, gets lifted to a whole new level on this kenyan cooperation.
