Solar Whisper by Koimé

Solar Whisper live performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJ2R0ahkxgE

The song “Solar Whisper” began from the first sounds Benjamin and Quayla made when they jammed on their new looping equipment. Layering sounds from guitar and voice, they began to see images of solar flares, of light beaming across space.

All 13 tracks on the album (to be released June 21st) were recorded in Benjamin’s home studio, with only Quayla’s voice, and his guitars. This handmade music preserves their natural sounds, with no pitch or rhythm correction. They can perform each song live, creating all the sounds in the moment, with their instruments and looping equipment.

Experimental R&B, Koimé explores nature. Forming in 2013, Quayla Bramble, a Caribbean soprano from Brooklyn, and Benjamin Hubbard, a Minnesotan 7-string nylon guitarist, honed their skills with Classical and Jazz music, then combined their eclectic influences with original songs that dance across sonic landscapes.

Koimé uses acoustic instruments for electronic looping and textural effects.
