NMM SoundBytes: Kaiwei Does It All “4u”

Brooklyn’s Kaiwei is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and composer whose wildly experimental and singular sound is sometimes melodic, sometimes harsh, sometimes ambient, and always unique. On his latest album, Reprocessor, he creates a “sonic documentation and ‘musicalization’ of Covid19 era found sounds, with songs composed between 2020-2022”. The result is often ominous and oppressive with some bright spots woven in, much like the era it represents.

One of the standout tracks on the 12 song album is “4u”, which resides right near the middle of the album as the 5th track. With its unique blend of movements, sounds, and moments, the track felt like one of the best ways to introduce Reprocessor to The Farsighted’s readers.

Justin has been running websites since his first Geocities site in 1994, but only did he ever start covering anything of substance years later. After he stopped regularly running local concerts in Northern NJ and the greater Philly area, he knew he needed to step up his writing game if he expected to continue to get free music to listen to. He writes regularly here and at Cinapse, as well as contributing to a few other sites on occasion. He likes music, film, the Philadelphia Eagles, the 76ers, talking about Criminal Justice, reading Intelligence Report, and his family... not in that order. His beautiful wife is far more talented than he is and his kids far more adorable... and crazy.
