JakoJako

Tét 41 is the latest record by modular synthesist and Berghain resident JakoJako, marking her album debut for Mute.

Recorded during a trip to Vietnam and bookended by field recordings from Tét Lunar New Year celebrations, the melodic palette breaks away from traditional Western scales, drawing instead from the tonal intricacies of the Vietnamese language, inspired by overheard conversations. Tapping into a deep understanding of machine-based music, crafted with a minimalist setup consisting of a Eurorack and Waldorf Iridium Core, the album reflects on notions of rebirth, and the pursuit of a sonic core. From this simplicity emerge some of her most expansive, unworldly compositions to date. Limited run of just 500 copies worldwide.
