KONOBA & R.O - 10 PROJECT

<p>Hi everyone!</p><p>We are two Belgian artists, known under the stage names R.O and Konoba.&nbsp;</p><p>We are about to embark on a unique and remarkable adventure: starting 1 April&nbsp;2018, we will be traveling for <strong>10 months, </strong>across<strong> 10 countries,</strong> making<strong> 10 new tracks</strong>.&nbsp;</p><p>Each month, we&nbsp;will travel across a different country, discovering it&rsquo;s most beautiful or important parts, meeting people, playing live shows wherever we&nbsp;can, embracing every&nbsp;adventure&nbsp;life decides to throw at us. More importantly, we&nbsp;will be constantly composing and producing new music on the road. The goal is to release <strong>one new song each month</strong>, a song we will have entirely created while traveling across the country, along with a <strong>music video</strong> made of images captured throughout the&nbsp;journey.&nbsp;</p><p>By the end of the challenge, we will&nbsp;have released ten new tracks, one for each country, to be released as <strong>1&nbsp;full album</strong>.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Just a few months later, we&nbsp;composed <strong>&ldquo;On Our Knees&rdquo;</strong> which quickly became a huge hit online, with over <strong>20&nbsp; million</strong> views to date across all platforms.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FpvT7mDwZ7Hw%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DpvT7mDwZ7Hw&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FpvT7mDwZ7Hw%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=8b7d8dd6504d41af9a77662672aabc2a&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="500" height="281" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>We&nbsp;decided to keep working together and we&nbsp;released a second single together, called <strong>&ldquo;Get Home&rdquo;</strong>. The track was notably used by famous US dancer and choreographer Sean Lew.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FIdWT8LQC-EU%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DIdWT8LQC-EU&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FIdWT8LQC-EU%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=8b7d8dd6504d41af9a77662672aabc2a&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="500" height="281" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While working on a series of different project together, we proved to be particularly complementary and many have described the partnership as a classic example of &ldquo;the whole being greater than the sum of its parts&rdquo;. R.O&rsquo;s impressive electronic production skills provide powerful and rich beats and synths while Konoba&rsquo;s haunting vocal melodies and harmonies add a thick layer of emotion and catchiness.</p><p>A <strong>new 5 track EP</strong> was released on&nbsp;<strong>March 16</strong>! You can listen to it EVERYWHERE online, including right here:&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2Fam_ATdSFp94%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dam_ATdSFp94&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fam_ATdSFp94%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=8b7d8dd6504d41af9a77662672aabc2a&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="500" height="281" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>We always try to get out of our comfort zone and&nbsp;do things in a new way. Musically, we are not afraid to&nbsp;mix new styles and influences or&nbsp;use new sounds and instruments. At the end,&nbsp;every song has to be unique and interesting one way or another.</p><p>Here&#39;s a little challenge we set ourselves for fun: we recorded sounds around Brussels for 2 days and recreated our single On Our Knees using ONLY these sounds.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FQvdQtbWHiYk%3Fstart%3D176%26feature%3Doembed%26start%3D176&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DQvdQtbWHiYk&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FQvdQtbWHiYk%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=8b7d8dd6504d41af9a77662672aabc2a&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="500" height="281" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Or this, we were invited to perform a live show in the french mountains last month.&nbsp;We also had time to enjoy ourselves, and to record sounds everywhere.
