Kimyan

Kimyam produced his first album at the age of 14. Back then, he began experimenting with electronic music, having previously learnt to play the drums. In 2022, the Congolese-Austrian musician, composer, producer, filmmaker and painter founded his own label, PlusPlusPlus Music.

Nature and music
In his music, he creates colourful soundscapes in which African musical instruments meet electronics and classical elements. Everyday objects and sounds are also heard in new settings. Kimyan has an intimate relationship with nature, which is also reflected in his music: »I make art that deals with nature and our relationship to it«, he reports. »It is part of my identity, in which I retrospectively recognise patterns that have led me to where I am today.« Kimyan is presenting his latest album »Coloria« as part of City Sounds.
