Kumo (musician)

After a string of singles, remixes, live dates and international DJ commitments as Kumo, March 1997 saw the release of his first album Kaminari to significant critical acclaim.

Later the same year, they created the sound installation Flies, Guys and Choirs for the Barbican Centre as part of the Elektronik festival.

The seven-track album comes with a bonus DVD containing the complete sound installation Flies, Guys and Choirs in 5.1, accompanied by a two-hour film co-directed by Jono.

In 2007, a four-track Kumo EP entitled Metapolis was released digitally on iTunes by White Label Records.

This was followed by a series of EPs, two albums With the Compliments of Nuclear Physics and Creative Listening, and a collection of music for silent film Secrets of Nature.

[12] Other work as Kumo in 2018/19 included the release and subsequent sell-out of 60-minute piece Day/Night on renowned cassette label Tapeworm; live improvised performance Chamber Remix at Rhenania, Cologne, derived from data generated by the movements of the bowing arms of the Kelemen Quartett playing Bartók‘s 5th String Quartet; and a live performance at the Crystal Palace Festival of a specially commissioned extended version of Joy Division‘s Transmission.

The album is accompanied by a 52-page zine with text by Jono, art by Joyce Treasure and design by Dan Taylor.
