They later collaborated in the Darmstadt summer course program \u201cSonic Writing &amp; Soundings\u201d, curated by agf and Cedrik Fermont. In 2023 they met in person in Darmstadt for the performance of the pieces created in the summer course program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After Monrhea invited agf to an online workshop and a lecture to Nairobi artists, they started dreaming about a production collaboration and developed the application of the mathematical concept of Involution in music and run with it remotely between Hailuoto and Nairobi. Their first sessions in this project happened during March 2024, the season during which Monrhea\u2019s Kikuyu culture marks the new year and the beginning of a new season. Their work then focused on creating pieces that celebrated the rain, Spring, rebirth, the inversion into a new season. This line of inquiry led them to come across the concept of self inversion, involution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Involution is explored in the context of various disciplines. In Psychology, Sociology, or Anthropology, but also in Biology and Medical sciences, in the natural phenomena of arising and passing away. Involution is a natural process of maintaining balance and order, and can be a formula to restoring balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cronicaelectronica.org\/240\/\">INvolution<\/a>\u201d is now available!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re happy to announce the release of the new album by [MONRHEA] + AGF, \u201cINvolution\u201d, now available to download or stream from Cr\u00f3nica&#8217;s Bandcamp.
