Bodyscape is inspired by the body of a dancer as sonic source. The information is taken via biosensors and microphones, which record movements and events generated by the body. In this ecosystem, the dancer produces sounds, mainly inaudible, which are then amplified and send back to the performance space, where the dancer interact with them as biofeedback. The site-specificity of the work relates to the spatial considerations and resonances.
Field recordings were collected at the border of Botswana and South Africa. L’épidemie virale en Afrique du Sud, a text from the Swiss writer Friedrich Dürrenmatt, informed the journey. The text describes a virus transforming white persons into black persons. A text about privileges.

Very symphonic sounding for Drumm. While it's far too simplistic to divide his work between ambient and abrasive this one should appeal to those who love 'Tannenbaum' or 'Just Lay Back and Enjoy It'. Both soothing and challenging. unruh2525
These two sprawling 20-minute electronic pieces offer both crackling, otherworldly textures and moments of surprising beauty. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 15, 2023
Shards of static & distortion crash against disarmingly beautiful piano & synth melodies on this riveting new record from Carbon and Prose. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 30, 2022
Signing up for the Kevin Drumm playlist pays for itself so many times over that it's laughable. He also proves he can compete in the Chris Watson/ BJ Nilsen universe. unruh2525
