What has ten hands and a unique sound? Answer: ‘Krom Monster’, an experimental music venture, unleashed for the first time at the French Cultural Centre on May 31. Composed of a British electronic musician and four students from the Royal University of Fine Arts, the only thing scary about Krom Monster is the talent. Pairing live improvisation on traditional Khmer instruments with locally-recorded ambient electronica, the quintet delivered a truly innovative performance. Further avant-garde creativity came from a simultaneous video projection by artist Tith Kanitha. Krom Monster is part of the Neak Ta project, which fosters new forms of art in Cambodia, directed by London-based organisation ‘Incidental’ with support from Java Arts, Cambodian Living Arts and the French Cultural Centre. Stay tuned for more groundbreaking work to come.
