KMRU’s practice explores field recordings, drones, noise, and the shifting boundary between environmental sound and abstraction. In this clip from 'Rewire 2026: A Short Documentary', he reflects on 'As Nature', his audiovisual collaboration with Nick Verstand (@nickverstand) and Mareike Bode (@mareikebo.de), where sound, light, movement, and scent come together to create an immersive sensory environment. ⁠
⁠
'Rewire 2026: A Short Documentary' offers a glimpse into some of the performances, encounters, and ideas that shaped the festival, through the voices of the artists who were part of it. Watch the full documentary via the 🔗 in bio.⁠
⁠
The film features reflections and insights from artists including @beverlyglenncopeland, @raulrefree, @mayssajallad, Antony Hamilton (@chunkymove), @asian_dope_boys (Asian Dope Boys), Beatrice Dillon, @_kamaru_ (KMRU), and Ash Fure, alongside footage from across the festival’s four days of bold and inspiring performances, installations, and conversations.⁠
⁠
Directed and captured by @mindthefilm, the documentary brings these voices and moments together, moving between performances, encounters, and the spaces that hosted them. by @nickverstand

Special thanks curator @marie_antonetta_ and the rest of the Valkhof Museum team for this opportunity and your guidance. Also many thanks to @irisvanherpen for advice and inspiration during the creation process and @popkraft1.0 for the technical production. taken in Valkhof Museum by @nickverstand

Sound artist KMRU and contemporary artist Nick Verstand premiered their audiovisual collaboration 'As Nature' at @rewirefestival. These soundscapes of @_kamaru_ are responded to by @nickverstand through a wafting spectacle of all-encompassing lightweight fabrics that are manipulated through airflow, LEDs, and smoke. An Olfactory component, developed in collaboration with scent artist @mareikebo.de, further extends the sensory field, expanding the work beyond the visual and auditory. A pleasant yet unusual olfactory layer introduces a subtle tension between nature and electricity into the space. 'As Nature' comes to life as a visceral and provoking glimpse into liminality offering a rare opportunity to encounter sound, vision and scent as a single, evolving environment shaped by natural processes and perception.⁠
⁠
‘As Nature' is commissioned by Rewire, Barbican, and Lunchmeat Festival.⁠
⁠
More ‘As Nature’ dates:⁠
Barbican, Milton Court Concert Hall - 27 April⁠
Lunchmeat Festival, Prague - 25 September⁠
Biennale Musica, Venice - 22 October⁠

A bioluminescent being emerged as more-than-human during the opening of Sculpting the Senses ~
The mesmeric performance pays homage to pioneering muse Loïe Fuller, whose radical language of fabric in flux continues to inspire Iris as a trained dancer herself. Voluminous silhouettes dissolved into phantom forms, their surfaces alive with morphogenic patterns of light.
