Elektrik Kalimba KONTAKT
TEAM MAGNETRiXX | 16 March 2013 | 27.9 MB
Elektrik Kalimba is a funky fusion of African and American, designed to sound like the kind of electric piano a Zulu teenager might hotrod up when he d had enough of tribal rain dances and wanted to get his groove on. It started life as a 3-octave electric kalimba ? or mbira, or karimba, or marimba; basically, an African folk thumb piano. Our kalimba was electric from the start, in that it was fitted with a pickup for amplification; but really, it was that row of thumb-plucked tines that set us thinking. Tines; electric pickups; this thing wants to be a Rhodes, right?
So we set about sampling the whole range of the kalimba, tuning it first to Western tuning, and capturing both proper key tones and a wide variety of buzzes, clicks, thumps, and scrapes as well. Our kalimba is fitted with two coke bottle caps which buzz and rattle along with the keys: this is an important part of the sound of the kalimba when it s used in African folk music, since the buzzing is supposed to entrance nearby spirits. (In which case they must be absolutely delighted with the mains hum in Mongo s cupboard?)
We then grafted the kalimba s attack to the sustain of a conventional American electric piano, sonically welding the two instruments together into a new hybrid ? a kind of Roots Rhodes. We put in extra controls to add even more gritty click to the attack, and optional key-release noises; we gave it overdrive in the traditional EP mould; and we wrapped the whole thing in a tolex kaftan. The result is Elektrik Kalimba: not exactly an EP, not exactly a folk instrument. It s the kind of keyboard sound that can give a track a subtle touch of organic individualism, or a full-on whack of chunky funky attitude, depending on where you set the dials. At one end of its spectrum it sounds like a rattly, last-legs kind of Rhodes, full of mellow dust and dying electrics; at the other, it can go almost into steel drum territory. In between there are handfuls of unique, unusual keyboard sounds that can fuse the background of a track together or take centre stage. All with a rootsy African influence that just sounds different.
Elektrik Kalimba: Rock the casbah!
