about

Endless possibilities are overstimulation – psychologists know that, as do Zen Buddhists. Limitation to a certain palette of sounds and instruments is an intelligent way to channel creativity in music.

The Crucible is Kabuki’s laboratory to develop new creative processes. Broadcasting live daily on his Twitch channel, the veteran Frankfurt producer established a new routine using a similar sound palette and structure for a month straight, leading to spontaneous interactions with long-time fans and strangers discovering his music for the first time.

For The Crucilble’s first month, which Kabuki dubbed the »Red Phase«, he selected a classic set of instruments (real or emulated):

- Hammond B3 Organ
- Casio CD Synthesizer
- Hohner D6 Clavinet
- Yamaha CS80
- Yamaha DX7

These sessions spawned two highly emotional beat compositions, rooted in classic hip-hop, fusion jazz and experimental electronic music – as if Pete Rock and Floating Points had jammed with Boards of Canada in the Scottish highlands. Still, the distinct vibe of the project feels reminiscent of Kabuki’s own 2014 instrumental hip-hop masterpiece “Meditations”.

Real music to warm your heart and soothe your soul.
