Kouta in Siam was born during Salin’s trip to Thailand in 2022, while she was researching Thai indigenous and traditional music. With only a compact suitcase-style drum (the “Kouta” drum) and a single microphone with her, Salin spontaneously performed and recorded in unique locations along the way: a garden, the beach, sugarcane fields and others. Music was then composed on top of the recorded drums later in the studio.
The EP is a musical photo album of Salin‘s journey across the country and each track is a sonic exploration driven by unique Thai sounds that were discovered during her travels. Take a voyage through the dreamy vocal-scapes of a tribal villager in “Bembe Beach” and become enchanted by the energetic sound of the khene in “Si Chomphu”.
