Yikii - Chorion
Cat. Nr: DN026
Format: DL
Release Date: January 5, 2023
Buy / stream: dansenoire.ffm.to/Chorion

The eerie lullaby of Yikii’s vast creative universe continues with her latest LP, Chorion. Following the anxious beauty of 2021’s ambient, post-club, and avant-pop-inspired Crimson Poem 深紅之詩 album, the Changchun-based artist carries her expansive experiments in harmony and dissonance onto her timeless gothic electroacoustics that operate at the nexus of the past, the present, and the future. Here, avant-garde contemporary classical meets utilitarian videogame composition to create a wholly immersive sonic environment that’s as ravishing as it is terrifying.

Named after the life-giving embryonic membrane that eventually forms the placenta, Chorion takes its conceptual cue from science-fiction writer Andy Weir’s acclaimed short story, The Egg. In it, a god and a dead man on the threshold of reincarnation discuss the notion of a Universal One—the unity of everyone and all things. On Chorion, the idea of whether we are "every human being who ever lived" is presented less as a question and more an inarguable fact, in a soundscape built from a glut of musical material created and collected by Yikii between 2018 and 2021.

Haunting the album cover is a painting of a Rhaphidophoridae—the artist’s entomophobia (an extreme fear of insects) projected onto the spiny silhouette of this blind and unpredictable subterranean cricket, reminiscent of the parasitic arthropods of first-person shooter games like BioShock and Resident Evil. Trained pianist Yikii applies these solitary pursuits of the digital era to her experiments in microtonal music and special tunings, which delve into the dark recesses of the cumulative subconscious. From the queasy hallucinations of her “Dream Cassette” reworking to the acutely physical rhythms of “Melinoë” and “Mongolian Worm,” there’s a twisted interiority to Chorion, where a battery of sonic, conceptual, and emotional material implodes in a dazzling vortex of violent intensity.

Guests - Delirivm, Hvndred

Started September 27th

"Koinen was just "that guy." Like you had to be there to really get the full experience of what it felt like to be in his presence." -MourningKoinenFan123

"Koinen's energy will forever be immortalized in this Moth-scented candle. LINK IN BIO" -Bath & Body Works

"I'm gonna miss his unique sound selection." -Fastro

"...the post-club underground won't be the same without my Koiny King. Rest up twin." -C-Los

"And I thought I told you about moonie babied gift song special...
And we love genie gifts.
I have a full blown albums about it.
Wit our major medical gear as a Audio."
-Carlos Keitlah, 2024.

"Koinen and I would do our monthly night out at the local Olive Garden. He got me arrested because we snuck some breadsticks into our purses. #WORSTNIGHTEVAR!!! We were THAT duo. Oh, how I'm gonna miss that jokester!" -Rachel

"Words can't describe how shocked the LGBTQIA+ community is after learning about the tragic death of Koinen. Koinen was in the audience of one of our auditions and we remember him saying out loud, "Work that shit, bitch!" The editors of X-Factor had to cut it out, and everyone just looked at him. To us, this was just him showing his support for fellow gays. We will be hosting our Koinen Vogue Tribute very soon. Rest up Queen." -The Clique

"Like my good friend Geordie Greep says, Koinen moved with a purpose. I was trying to gain the courage to ask him to join our group, just because I thought he'd fit in there like a glove! I found Koinen on Grindr looking for hookups and when people would actually come over, he would just play out an experimental, all-original DJ mix. Maybe one day, we'll all serve cunt to those very mixes. RIP Koinen, the youthful." -Seth Evans from Black Midi

"Koinen always told me that he wasn't the most handsome. But the truth of the matter is, he was gleaming in his own beauty too much to even see it himself. He always saw the brighter things in life, with hopes of chasing the light, like a moth attracted to a flame. When Koinen served cunt down the runway, it was very moving and touched many of our souls. He vogued like an angel. Serve that pussy in heaven babe #TWERKQUEEN4EVR" -Kevin Jz. Prodigy

"Tuesdays aren't for SAMHSA, RIP Pup samsara" -Moth's (A.K.A Koinen's) final words before the incident.

"Big pussy = open" -???
