Kris Vango - "Father"

Shot against impossibly beautiful scenery, the evocative movements in Kris Vango’s “Father” mirror the deeply symbolic, personal and esoteric sounds that Vango explores with his latest single and video. Deconstructing the thump of a kick through a subwoofer and the intricate patterns of a trip-hop track being drug through molasses, the peekabo drones, eliding vocals and subtle textural elements on “Father” lead to endless re-listens. As the press release states, “KRIS VANGO’s vision is to map and document our solar system through narrative sound, creating sonic and visual works central to each planetary body. Sonically, KRIS VANGO traverses a cross pollination and re-evolution of club music’s sonic textures, with a re-connecting to the Shamanic origins of uniting collectives into a shared experience – utilising genre and collaboration as tools to construct immersive planetary soundscapes. In live performance, KRIS VANGO constructs a sonic journey that often feels like a tour through the cosmos, intentionally blending sounds of each planetary concept piece together with live instrumentation, visual components and voice manipulation.”
