Welcome back to Ceremonial Laptop Bangkok, your new friend in experimental music and art. This month we bring you the best in danceable Molam synth, mind melting free improv and organic beats, straight from the earth…＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿
Papanin K, a guitarist who recently learns to play Molam (a genre of Laotian and Northeastern Thai music) and synthesizer music. Though born and raised in Bangkok which located far from the center region where Molam is practiced, the sound she hears when stepping outside her house is not the sound of Bangkok, but the sound of Molam song. For her, Molam is considered a powerful culture and a future of Asean music

Earth Tone is a project that began with the simple concept of gathering ideas like planting seeds. The word Earth is reinterpreted to resemble the meaning of root, symbolizing a foundation. From this core idea, the project branches out, evolving into artistic creations. These expressions take form through the medium of music, serving as a bridge to communicate the project’s essence.
This initiative reflects the philosophy of blending music and art, where sound becomes the language of interpretation. Each piece is a creative exploration, rooted in the foundation of the Earth concept, expanding organically into new and meaningful artistic expressions.
