Kangding Ray
Kangding Ray is David Letellier. Born 1978 in France, he lives and works in Berlin. He evolved as a guitarist and drummer in bands whose influences ranged from noise-rock to jazz, before buying an akai sampler and moving on to electronic music.
Kangding ray's music reflects this wide musical background, and a particular way of merging beats and textured soundscapes into slowly evolving compositions. He combines machines with "real instruments" in a subtle and rythmic suite, integrating noises, walls of distortion, massive bass lines, voices and field recordings.
The result is a blend of deep advanced grooves and dark atmospheres, that one could describe as "abstract bass music."
His latest album is "On," released on Raster-Noton. At Unsound he will perform with a three-piece band.
