Pure Space Home Listening // 黑芝麻和朋友们 (Hei Zhi Ma and friends)

Live performance by 莎瑜 (ShaYu) (Zhi x 黑芝麻) for Liquid Dreams, performed at Gang Gang Cafe on 18 July 2021.

This piece includes two tracks produced by 黑芝麻 // Self and Water for #Water_Voices and Civic and Water for #Water_Voices // and exerts and poetry by Zhi, including work title "If My Body Knows Edges".

This performance was part of 'Liquid Dreams' is an interactive exhibition presented by #Water_Voices, a collective project established in response to drought in 2019 by visual artist Beth Johnston, Elissa Jackson, designer Xingweiai Fang and creative producer Zora Pang.

莎瑜 (ShaYu) (Zhi x 黑芝麻) - Liquid Dreams by #Water_Voices - Live at Gang Gang Cafe - 18 July 2021

黑芝麻 (Hēi zhī ma) invites you to retreat inwards - on both the physical plane and within the depths of your psyche - as part of the Pure Space Home Listening series. 

Imagined during lockdown, Pure Space Home Listening // 黑芝麻和朋友们 (Hēi zhī ma and friends) probes home listening in the context of isolation.
As an artist, 黑芝麻 leans into the more emotive facets of sound, utilizing sonic and cerebral contrasts to subtly lull the listener into a journey unforeseen. This release sees them infuse this approach within their collaborations with artists Merph, Shoeb Ahmad, Moktar and Zhi. 

The artists explore the familiar feelings of solitude, urgency and release firmly etched into our collective consciousness, both synchronously and through their own distinct lens. 

“I Miss You” lulls you in with emotive pads that float above a sharp breakbeat and voice notes engulfed with longing. “Take Me Anywhere” provides a feeling of relief, as groove-laden techno bounces off the walls and into the abyss. “Associations” is an introspective, spacious and haunting track you want to float on and on. As you glide between these offerings, the intro and outro tracks hold space for tender ruminations.

The release serves as an archive of a more contemplative and confined period, through the distant murmur of voice notes, the metamorphosing drone of ambient soundscapes, poetic reveries that hang in the air, the rattling percussion of a breakbeat or techno high-hat and the gentle backdrop hums of nature.
This is an immersive audiovisual experience. Filmmaker Jane Inyang reimagines the EP in a short film through different listening contexts during a day in isolation for the protagonist. This short film will be accessible by a QR code in an accompanying poster and zine, which will also feature artist photos, recipes and poetry alongside the work of artist Jacquie Meng and photographer Chanel Nguyen. There will also be a limited run of earrings by Joanne Leong.

Released as part of Room2 async in September 2022, MANGOES AHEAD includes a poetry sound collaboration by artist duo 莎瑜 [ZHI x 黑芝麻].

About Room2: https://bleedonline.net/program/room2/room2-async/

莎瑜 (Shāyú) is a collaborative project between ZHI and 黑芝麻 (Hēizhīma).

Tian Dian 甜点 014 RB Filtration

This mix explores race matters through wisdom, words and sounds of BIPOC artists, poets, writers, and musicians. It is a rational bro filtration system.

This will be my last Nomad show for a period, as Nomad Radio is closing temporarily (I hope!).

Thank you so much for listening, I cannot express how grateful I am to have had this opportunity to share, develop, and grow together.

Sending so so much love and thanks!

With love,

Big love to Andy (IG: @ddr__nerd) for inviting me to share a Lunar New Year Mix, to welcome the Year of the Ox. 

This mix shares conversations, poetry, and experimental ambient and techno music by Asian talent from across the globe. I had so much fun and insight being in conversation with Andy (IG: @ddr_nerd) around Lunar New Year celebrations, the importance of community spaces, and our absolute love of food.
