WAI8
Eight-hour KMRU durational listening piece
Based in Nairobi, Kenya
AmbientSound artDroneExperimental electronic
WAI8 stretches sound over many hours, with drones, field-recorded textures, noise, and near-silence moving in and out of focus. The lineup of nine performers suggests a shifting, patient set where layers are allowed to fade, re-enter, and blur the sense of forward motion.
More about WAI8
WAI8 is KMRU’s durational project; the bandcamp bio identifies him as a Nairobi-born, Berlin-based sound artist. His 2026 album Kin on Editions Mego confirms the current direction of his work: long-form pieces, edited space, and collaborations that sit between field recording and abstract electronics.
