about

Composed primarily using Chris Kiefer's own invented feedback instruments Ffroeds offers a version of music which emerges from a collaboration with these unruly and unpredictable devices.
Feedback instruments are self-resonating, and the vibrations this causes in the devices themselves lead to strange and sometimes uncontrollable outcomes.

It is this realm between control and chaos which Kiefer, releasing under the name of Luuma, is intent on exploring using his strange and rebellious devices. Across five compositions derived from playing membrane-based, and stringed feedback instruments controlled by joysticks, patches and AI learning Kiefer's work offers a uniquely playful and rather messy take on hi-tech instruments.

"With feedback instruments, they have their own complex behaviours and we can only influence or guide them. They have their own personalities – they can be cantankerous and difficult to play, but also joyful and thrilling," he explains.

In Ffroeds Kiefer places us as listeners firmly in this world of exuberant, and sometimes bad-tempered technologies, and in doing so suggests new ways to share compositional outcomes with an instrument.
