Kabaal World Why Web - Petrol

World Why Web is KABAAL aka Jakob Warmenbol’s first solo album. It is the hallucinated and brilliant fruit of a long journey of exploring a more adventurous setup for improvised drum performance. Reinventing the work with sensor equipped drum kits, KABAAL playfully improvises songs with samples ranging from car engines, to Paul Dunmall’s bagpipes, Ligeti’s harpsichord piece Hungarian Rock, or a Chinese television series from the seventies. You get it : just about anything as long as it isn’t drums! This innovative approach allows him to create dialogs between instinctive and awesome drumming and improvised digital poetry. As if Autechre was meeting and merging with Zach Hill and Tony Allen at the same time. It also extends and changes the functionality of the drum kit, making it a tool to create odd melodies and landscapes of atonal synths and distorted noise.

World Why Web is released in digital format and on vinyl, in a limited edition of 300 transparent petrol-green copies with a metallic pantone cover and an inserted poster.

Jakob Warmenbol is a Belgian drummer from Antwerp, living between Marseille and Brussels. After starting out as a jazz drummer, his sound evolved to heavier and darker tones, drawing influences from a variety of African traditional and contemporary musics and experimental noise rock bands like Deerhoof, Gorge Trio, NAH, Death Grips, while always keeping improvisation and free spirited music as a key figure.
