Fahmi Mursyid

"For the latest chapter in the One Instrument Session series, we’re pleased to present the Indonesian artist Fahmi Mursyid. This mini-album includes six tracks that take the listener on a warm, experimental journey of varying timbres.
The artist has always had a personal interest in traditional Indonesian instruments, specifically from Sundanese culture, the second largest Indonesian ethnic group, native to the western part of the Island of Java.
Paying homage to this source of inspiration, he has chosen to use Indonesian instruments for almost all of the tracks on the 12’’. Considering the strict guidelines One Instrument gives the artists, Mursyid has succeeded in getting the most out of his chosen instruments.
With each of the six different acoustic instruments he has eluded clichè and surpassed physical limitations to shape a bold, alternative musical language.
All tracks are recorded with only one condenser microphone.
