ABOUT
over the course of two decades, kimi recor, a berlin-based sonic artist and sound therapist, has immersed herself in a wide range of musical genres, instruments, and styles. her work serves as a way to explore connections with the inner self, the natural world, and collective experience.
while her early career focused on performing in bands and collaborating with artists like john tejada, everything shifted in 2020 after a soundbath session with gongs and crystal bowls. the layered harmonics and immersive frequencies left a lasting impact on her well-being and sparked a deep interest in the relationship between sound and the body. she began studying with a range of teachers to better understand how frequency affects the nervous system.
today, recor leads immersive sound experiences through her company, the portal, and teaches others how to use sound as a tool for healing, creativity, and nervous system regulation. her approach is rooted in accessibility, especially for those without formal music training.
she recently released i, a collaborative ambient album with marc elsner, and is currently producing her debut solo ambient/experimental record. the album blends planetary paiste gongs, crystal bowls, analog synths, lush vocals, and field recordings into an experimental post-pop landscape.
she also fronts schnallo, a berlin-based, self-produced post-punk and denglish neue welle band. known for high-energy live shows, schnallo delivers gritty fun with bilingual lyrics and bold, danceable rhythms.
through performances, sound experiences, and teaching, recor continues to explore the emotional and physical effects of vibration. her work invites others to listen more deeply and to use sound as a pathway into connection, presence, and play.
