Nyege Nyege Music's video: Leon Duncan: Rucio

PRE-ORDER: https://hakunakulala.bandcamp.com/album/fuck-a-rosseta-stone-for-my-brain-waves Growing up in Nairobi, Leon Duncan learned to produce music by experimenting with recording software in his high school's computer lab. Before long he was selling beats, but his restless, anxious mind quickly drew him closer towards extreme music. Duncan had never played guitar, but answered a call for guitarists from local heavy metal band Lust of a Dying Breed. Together with vocalist Martin Kanja (now half of Nyege Nyege's Duma), he developed an idiosyncratic form of Kenyan industrial music, patching a synth that sounded as serrated as distorted guitar and getting kicked out from his apartment in the process. When a track made its way to Nyege Nyege Tapes, Duncan was extended the creative freedom to develop his sonic experiments. "Fuck a rosetta stone for my brain waves" is the result of Duncan's tireless tonal and rhythmic research, and a narcotic voyage into a fiercely independent mind. The video for Rucio was conceived and directed by filmmaker Michael Roberson. Inspired by Leon's frenetic and playful use of rhythm, Michael created a cinematic, mind-altering exploration of light and shadow, a multilayered exploration of performative spirituality in the age of Instagram.
