about

The original sound piece SWEAT Kumasi emerged out of a month long residency at perfocraZe International Artist Residency- [pIAR] in Kumasi, Ghana in March 2021. It features sonic contributions and auditory imprints from laboring bodies at work, as well as recorded conversations about performance and performativity of the sexual/ized body at work—work as labour of survival and labour of a/Art. The sonic landscape of this work has been woven exclusively from field recordings gathered in and around Kumasi, ultilizing pIAR as first site of home and expanding outwards to synchronistic encounters, intuitively following the body at work.

After finishing the mixing and mastering of the album in Berlin with Andreas Maan in March of 2022, Mad Kate passed the sound piece "back" to Ghana, to three producers based in Kumasi and Accra -- Lotus Beatz, Brah Rex, and TMSKD DJ. They produced three dance tracks which reflect and mix in their own musical influences. The voices of Karyka and Ester are featured prominently in two of the remixes.

Heartfelt gratitude to those who contributed so generously in our encounters, including Va-Bene Elikem Fiatsi [crazinisT artisT], Mawuenya Bubu Amudzi, Martin Toloku, Onsoh Edward, Eryka Dellenbach, Zoë Binetti, Hiroko Tsuchimoto, Karyka, Jawo Zaria Graba, Adwoa Kesewaa Gaisie, Isshak Fuseini, Muhammedu Abubakari and many others.
