Kouta In Siam Vinyl – 10″

Kouta in Siam EP on 10″ black vinyl.

Kouta in Siam was born during Salin’s trip to Thailand in 2022, while she was researching Thai indigenous and traditional music. With only a compact suitcase-style drum (the “Kouta” drum) and a single microphone with her, Salin spontaneously performed and recorded in unique locations along the way: a garden, the beach, sugarcane fields and others. Music was then composed on top of the recorded drums later in the studio.

The EP is a musical photo album of Salin‘s journey across the country and each track is a sonic exploration driven by unique Thai sounds that were discovered during her travels. Take a voyage through the dreamy vocal-scapes of a tribal villager in “Bembe Beach” and become enchanted by the energetic sound of the khene in “Si Chomphu”…
