(In 2004, Nels Truesdell and Bob Kress formed Kava Kon as a magical escape from the urban decay of the city surrounding them,
Detroit. Inspired by
Exotica records of the 50s and 60s, retro b adventure & sci-fi
movies, exotic travel and culture, taboo, voodoo, vintage synths,
primitive percussion, and tiki culture.
The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble is a Dutch Dark-Jazz mutant mix of musical and visual inspiration. 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. Trombone player Hilary Jeffery
(originally from the UK, residing in Amsterdam) joined in 2004 and
introduced Swiss born Nina Hitz).
