Interviews Rewire 2023

Field Recording Fetish

Part of the series Radio Worm Goes to REWIRE, I had the great opportunity to talk to Hatis Noit & Osheyack about their practice and preferences. Here is a taste, nicely put together by Ash Kilmartin from @RadioWorm.

Hatis Noit
The London-based Japanese vocal performer Hatis Noit originally hails from Shiretoko on the Hokkaido peninsula. Inspired by a wide range of musical influences, from the classical Japanese gagaku music, operatic styles, Bulgarian and Gregorian Chanting, to avant-garde vocalists like Meredith Monk and Holly Herndon, Hatis Noit's accomplished range is astonishingly self-taught. It was at the age of 16, during a trek in Nepal to the Buddha's birthplace, when she realised singing was her calling. An encounter with a female monk singing Buddhist chants all alone moved her so intensely that she was instantly aware of the visceral power of the human voice: a primal and instinctive instrument that connects us to the very essence of humanity, nature, and our universe. Her music, as heard on enigmatic debut EP Illogical Dance (2018) and the sublime follow-up LP Aura (2022), has a distinctly modern approach – with detailed sound design and fascinating composition – while her craft stays true to the timeless nature of the human voice.

Osheyack
IDM meets the rougher edges of club music in the distinctive sound world of US-born producer Osheyack. An integral member of Shanghai’s burgeoning electronic music scene that centres around ALL Club, Osheyack is a shining example of the new hybrid form of club music, hailing from pioneering labels like SVBKVLT. His intense electronic music fuses techno, gabber, ambient, and drone, and combines perplexing sound design with destabilising percussion and tectonic bass. The result seems to capture the confusing state of being terminally online – as demonstrated on his recent album Intimate Publics (2022) – and the desire to break free from bodily and societal constraints. There’s a merciless intensity to Osheyack’s music, but listen closely through the chaos and noise and you can feel the urgency and immediacy that radiates from his revelatory dance music.

Part of the series Radio Worm Goes to REWIRE. Meeting this this lovely Amsterdam based duo was my favourite part of the Rewire experience. Join our intimate conversation about life & music.

No Plexus
A genre-queer electronic duo comprising of vocalist and composer Bec Plexus and producer No Compliments. In collaboration with Roel Wouters of interactive design studio Moniker, No Plexus have set their music to the tensions between nature's brutal powers and our need to tame, control, and ultimately manicure it. In this trilogy of twenty-five minutes, unnatural forms in nature meet angular melodies and rhythms. Manicurism was intended to be a simple video registration of a live performance, but exploded into a high tech production. Filmed with an arsenal of drones, the visual album features otherworldly locations that have been drastically transformed by human intervention: a man-made crater, a levitating mountain and a meticulously planted bonsai farm. The result is a dizzying yet captivating journey through the wild unpredictability of No Plexus’ versatility as music makers and collaborative artists. Manicurism was commissioned by Rewire.

The session revolves around themes extended from their performance earlier this year at @rewirefestival in a sonic dialogue. Laced with generative ambient improvisation, live coding, and giggles, we aim to bring you a deep dive into their creative process. One thing to be excited about. There will be details about their freshly released debut album ‘Rite of Passage’.
-----------------------------------------
No Plexus is a genre-queer experimental electronic music duo consisting of artists @no.compliments and @becplexus Their concept-driven approach to music is the result of both artists’ background in contemporary classical music fusing with a shared affinity for electronic music. Live sets from No Plexus combine raw and physical vocal performances, anchored by densely detailed drum programming and ever-evolving sound and visual design. A natural extension of their ceaseless creativity is the fact that No Plexus were chosen to be Rewire’s Young Artist in Residence for 2023 and 2024.

Talking about the history, psychology, anatomy and mostly mythology surrounding the mouth. As the centre point of human communication, radio facilitation and the starting point of the whole digestive system, the mouth has forever been the subject of fascination. If you ever think about the mouth as more than just a tool for speaking and eating, about how it also plays a crucial role in our social interactions, cultural history, and our relationship with food and eating, we looked into it. We questioned ourselves and each other, dug deep into the corners of the internet and our varied experiences and came up with some interesting facts, sounds and mouth awareness. We'll be looking at the mouth as our gateway to the world, source of power and obsession, and overall bearer of news.
