This is a new album project called Jamu. It is the second collection from Chris Coco inspired by the magical island of Bali, following on from Return To Good Karma, released in 2017. The title is the name of a drink made of local herbs sold by street vendors that is good for health and vitality. I hope we have created a musical version of that healthy juice with our particular variety of ingredients.

This project was made in collaboration with a close group of musician friends. Each person played their part separately on the simple original grooves and soundscapes, inspired by the rhythm or what the last player or singer had laid down. We built a 'live' sound without ever playing together. After that I used the live parts to edit and process to eventually create the finished work.
