About Me


New Album "Extempore"

Kobol returns with a second installment of their jazz inflicted electronica.
This time around Kobol showcase their remixing skills alongside new tracks and collaborations. Unlike their previous outing, Broken Ebony, Kobol have cleaned up the glitch in the machine but the smooth panoramic textures over banging down tempo rhythms remain. Murcof, State Shirt, Kampion and Pepito get the remix treatment while the collaborations with singers:
Emma Ejwertz , / Jazz de Mar / Ximena Sariñana / profile Kobol's songwriting craft.
Extempore shows how Kobol's production mastery has matured since their debut, providing us with larger than life sound structures that rely on acoustic drums, guitars, digital trickery and lush melodic arrangements.
PRE-ORDER THE NEW ALBUM TODAY
The album will be released on 06/11/07 on both CD+Digital.
KOBOL - A mixture of natural low tempo beats, freestyle DSP jams, sly acoustic impressions with jazzy and dubby vibes all over the place., A jazz album for tweekheads and an electronic album for jazzheads.
Their debut album draws from many musical idioms that go beyond the nu-jazz and IDM tags, breaking ground and taking us into a brave musical new world.
Kobol's framework goes inside the detail of the texture of sound, manipulating live audio sources and implementing a mysterious and cinematic sense of wonder into the gritty beats.
Members: Duo comprised the musical relationship between multi-instrumentalist Nashio Chavez,. PLANKTON MAN ex Nortec collective and Drummer:
Argel 'Arhkota' Medina: NIÑO ASTRONAUTA and Dream Comet.
