SUMS: Kangding Ray & Barry Burns (Mogwai)

SUMS is the collaborative project of French electronic producer Kangding Ray and Mogwai multi-instrumentalist Barry Burns. Born by virtue of Berlin Atonal, Kangding Ray was given carte blanche by the Berlin festival to follow up his 2013 performance and come up with something deserving of the monstrous space. He used the opportunity to free himself of the functionality of the club and to reconnect with his rock roots, and Mogwai was the first on his list. Uniting to play a range of electronic and amplified instruments, with support from drumming wizard Merline Ettore on live percussion, the two genre-leading artists craft a warm and organic fusion of spatial electronics and stunning post-rock sounds that seamlessly blends the best of their musical legacies. As SUMS, the pair are set to release their debut EP in the run up to their Dutch live debut at Rewire 2017.
