about

"Tropicalni" seems to exist in a vacuum. Stylistically, the nine tracks here owe something to multiple genres and reference points - from folk, Balearic, psychedelic and electronica, but none really fit well. Synths drift in breezily, floating around the wistful melodies - acoustic guitars sparkle, while flutes and melodicas evoke a little south American shamanism, and the beats hint at a deeper connection to dance rituals.

This could account for the free floating, otherworldly, aesthetic - little seems to impact on the sense of freedom and exploration the two manage to conjure up from their reclusive base. Sounds are recognizable and evocative, but never worn as signposts to the mysterious pair’s backgrounds or influences. Something quite complex is carried out in a very beguiling and seemingly effortless way. The songs here seem to dematerialize into the ether, and reform in different shapes and moods elsewhere. Cut loose from any moorings and drifting under a blue sky - Tropicalni is both the journey and destination.

KEOPE's work is based on improvisation and the interplay of acoustic and electronic instruments. Spontaneity, a reduced tool-set around the electric guitar, drum machines and an analog modular-snthesizer as well as the sole communication through music between the individuals are key. KEOPE also welcomes guest singers, instrumentalists and performers from an array of styles and cultural backgrounds.

To escape the constrictions of indoor recording studios and to enhance the contact with nature and the transcendent aspect of music, KEOPE create their music outdoors with a mobile recording studio set-up. Being in an open air space without the common sonic interferences, their sound became much wider, purer and more organic.

about

Keope Berlin, Germany

KEOPE is the brainchild of Toni Bruna and Marcus Rossknecht, living and working between Berlin and Prešnica.

Making music is a unique experience, which is not repeatable and a pure celebration of the now. KEOPE 's recorded music is therefore often an outtake from live-performances or jams which capture the environment in which it was performed as well as the artists’ momentary moods.
