KMRU
Field-recording drone and noisy ambient live set
Based in Berlin, Germany · From Nairobi, Kenya
Expect stretched tone, hiss, and found-sound detail rather than beats. His 2026 Edition Mego release *Kin* sits at the harsher end of his palette, with distorted swells, broken-up melodies, and a live arc that can move from near-silence to dense overdrive.
More about KMRU
Joseph Kamaru works between Nairobi and Berlin and keeps a foot in sound art, field recording, and installation. He runs OFNOT and has released on Editions Mego, Subtext, and Seil, which puts him in the European experimental network that treats texture and listening practice as the main event.
