Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

That's What He Said

If you ask Toronto’s Matthew Ramolo about his experimental project Khôra, he’ll tell you it is “aimed at blurring the lines that separate the organic and synthetic, improvisation and composition, and the artist and the expressivity of nature.” To paint his shimmering soundscapes, Ramolo strikes a balance between digital and analog, acoustic and electronic, and found sound and rigid composition in a manner that almost transcends description. Perhaps that’s why Steve Guimond at Hour Magazine called his music simply “a revelation.” Khôra headlines an early showcase at the Waking Windows Festival at the Monkey House this Saturday, June 11. Montréal’s Nick Kuepfer and Austin’s Silent Land Time Machine open.
