Swiss percussionist Julian Sartorius and UK electronic artist Dan Nicholls team up as Clay Kin presenting their debut record on Squama. They had never planned to make an album yet through pure improvisation and spontaneity Clay Kin have crafted Vevey. An album of seven tracks distilled from over seven hours of improvised percussion and electronics. Recorded mostly outdoors––on pedalo boats up mountains and deep in forests near the namesake Swiss town of Vevey it is imbued with the soft fascination of birdsong rushing water and chattering children. Vevey resists genre. As musicians Sartorius and Nicholls bridge the divide between acoustic and electronic soundscapes. Sartorius’ raw organic percussion interweaves with Nicholls’ keyboard-triggered samples and harmonic landscapes creating a dialogue where the lines between rhythm melody and noise dissolve. Clay Kin identify their outfit as an audio-visual collective with visual artist Lou Zon (Louise Boer) rounding out the group creating videos to accompany both the recorded music and the live experience.
