Microtone Kitchen is a group of seven Canadian-based musicians who create original music with turntables, keyboards, and guitar. The musical arrangements stem from various influences including Classical, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Funk, Drum n Bass, and Down-tempo. Its concept, developed by DJ Mana, is to fuse conventional instruments with the turntable; a tool that draws a great deal of controversy surrounding its status as a bona fide instrument.
The use of turntables, piano and guitar, together in one musical breath, is based on an effort to bridge the gap between musical devices of different traditions. Whereas guitar and piano have extensive histories in practice, the saga behind the turntable's use as an instrument (both rhythmically and melodically) is relatively new. Technically, the fusion of these instruments combines various pitch articulations in both diatonic and microtonic scales. Examining microtones with a ground in the classical system reveals new ways in which the psyche reacts to music.
With an all-star roster including turntablist/musicians Mana, Killa-Jewel, Praiz, Midas, Pandazal, and keyboardists/ guitarists, Know One and Atsui, this band proves that the turntable is no longer just a record player, but an apparatus whose sound, unlike that of conventional instruments, shows no bounds. With a growing body of recorded work, Microtone Kitchen recreates its arrangements in a live setting, guaranteeing that even the most dissuadable audience will be convinced there has never been anything like it.
