The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble
The Kilimanjaro : extinct volcano in Northern Tanzania, the highest peak in Africa.Darkjazz : mysterious, black in shade, liveliness, spirit, excitement.
Ensemble : all the parts of a thing taken together, so that each part is considered only in relation to the whole.
The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble is a mutant mix of what has inspired us musically, and especially visually.
TKDE started off as an audiovisual project back in 2000, influenced by old silent movie directors such as Murnau and Lang, but also the animations of Jan Svankmeijer or the films of the Quay Brothers.
Jason Köhnen and Gideon Kiers, started creating soundtracks to old silent movies (Nosferatu, Metropolis) and progressively composed new music inspired by these images which eventually became TKDE.
