The concept behind Un-Kai is to integrate percussion and electronic music as closely as possible. Not just two layers, an electronic beat with percussion played over it, for example, but the sounds had to blend together in a more organic way. We tried to do so by using all kinds of technical trickery like triggering a vocoder by a Bendir (percussion instrument) or using a convolution sample of a Tabla (instead of a reverb sample) over a drum computer loop. But now we're getting too technical :-) Maybe more importantly than the above, it had to be danceable and an adventure to listen to!

Chill out on organic percussive beats, relax on various oriental atmospheres and immerse yourself into this unique sound adventure!
