A visit to a musical instrument museum with her toddler son inspired El Perro del Mar’s Sarah Assbring to recalibrate her pop sensibilities and work on what would become KoKoro. It was a “please-touch” museum where they could play the instruments, and Assbring fell in love with the percussion used in Indonesian gamelan music, and with harps from Asia and Africa. KoKoro looks outward, both musically and lyrically, to the world, and rather than a tender clinch, it’s a wholehearted bear hug of global pop sounds. Assbring will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our new feature on her.
Assbring: I found out about Caroline Denervaud and her art via Instagram. I love finding new artists there! Some art just works really well on Instagram. Caroline is a Paris-based multidisciplinary artist who at times makes art from her movements. She herself calls it: “Research through instrinsic movement and forms.” I find myself very drawn to her work. She is always present yet almost always faceless. Present yet not. I love how she combines the dance performance into the action of drawing. It’s completely beautiful and captivating.
