Azul [LP]

Award-winning turntablist, composer and improviser NikNak builds a whole world on Azul, a concept album about water and our growing urge to merge with technology. Its story follows an explorer who crash-lands on an ocean planet, where rain revives her broken ship rather than ruining it, imagining a fluid cyborg in which nature repairs the machine. Much of it took shape during a residency at Casa Ilhabela in Brazil, where she gathered the underwater recordings that ground the album's fiction in real sound.

On vinyl LP from Lapsus Records.
