{"product_id":"kim-chloe-ratsnake","title":"Kim, Chloe - Ratsnake","description":"\u003cp\u003eRaised in Korea and now based in Sydney, percussionist, Chloe Kim, has emerged as a singular voice in contemporary drumming—blending fearless improvisation with compositional clarity and cross-cultural depth. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eRatsnake \u003c\/em\u003emarks her bold entry into the canon of solo drum records, pairing visceral power with precision and imagination. The album’s title comes from a dream Kim’s mother had before her birth, invoking the ratsnake—a Korean symbol of resilience, transformation, and rare fortune. This symbolic inheritance threads through the record, as Kim unfolds complex rhythmic ideas with elegance and force.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Being in New York for the first time, I felt the city’s energy pull new ideas out of me,” says Kim. “Each track highlights a facet of my solo language—from extended percussion and long-form rhythmic cycles to textures I’ve never used live.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcross the record, Kim draws on years of personal motifs: a two-bar phrase refined over time in the title track, intricate structures in “The First Gift,” and expansive setups in “Birth Dream.” Each piece builds on her ongoing inquiry into rhythm, form, and embodied sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced and recorded by Randall Dunn (SUNN O))), Annea Lockwood, Kali Malone), \u003cem\u003eRatsnake\u003c\/em\u003e captures Kim’s dynamic phrasing with spatial richness and detail. It’s a powerful, nuanced debut that redefines the possibilities of solo percussion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kou Records (Ideologic Organ)","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50539580162326,"sku":"RMX-56131","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/9eb23ccf98fab9683d19424990dcd9a9.jpg?v=1758623353","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/kim-chloe-ratsnake","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
