Japanese voice artist Hatis Noit announces her much anticipated Erased Tapes debut album Aura, out June 24, by sharing its wordless yet universally speaking title track as premiered by Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC 6 Music. Astonishingly all songs on the record were created using her voice only.

The album title Aura was inspired by the German philosopher Walter Benjamin who used this term to describe the fundamental essence of art, which he believed is strongest in its original form, only happening once. Hatis agrees with this particular aspect as she realised, “during the pandemic, I really struggled. As a singer, I’m not very good at working on the computer. I much prefer doing live performances in physical spaces. Being with people, sharing the same space with them and feeling the atmosphere and energy of that moment, inspires me every time. To me, art is that — that shared moment.”

The name Hatis Noit itself is taken from Japanese folklore, meaning the stem of the lotus flower. The lotus represents the living world, while its root represents the spirit world, therefore Hatis Noit is what connects the two. For Hatis, music represents the same netherworld with its ability to move and transport us to the other side; the past, a memory, our subconscious. Through this first offering, Hatis Noit revokes a haunting memory of getting lost in a forest in her birthplace Shiretoko, Hokkaido.

“One to watch: Hatis Noit — with her ethereal crossover of mystical and modern, this Japanese artist has been moving audiences to tears” — The Guardian

Today I Joined a Cult

Downtempo electronica.

This uses the #labscommunity #obsoletemachines library - it's fantastic! Once upon a time, I was at school with its creator, so I love the fact our lives have some how crossed again.

Heavy use of Foley / asmr textures. I tried to put them front and centre, representing the hectic fall to sleep at the end of the day. as a sufferer from misophonia, I really wanted to incorporate triggering sounds that are simultaneously relaxing but also distracting. for me, it can sometimes fill me with rage or relax me immensely.

I hope it's the latter for you!

Into My Dreams I Go

Classical piece, using the motif from Bach's prelude in C. Switched up to minor and added a violin, viola and cello.

Play along with piano score: https://youtu.be/oP832ghg7I8?si=BRq2-f7fBJW1mxvb

Written a few years back in the weeks after I lost my father. The piano first descends on each chord change, heading to rock bottom. The second half rises, making the piece more uplifting. The main violin is an improvisation over the piano, whilst the supporting strings were written to fit. I felt compelled to return to this piece after the birth of my daughter and the piece now has a different meaning to me.

Written using Native Instruments Noire piano and spitfire solo strings. Notable processing with  output's arcade, baby audio's smooth operator and audiothing's outer space. Reverbs are dragonfly room and Valhalla supermassive. Compressed using UAD la-2a and analog obsession plugins. Mastered with Ozone.

Prelude

Remix of Fred Again's track Ten. All sounds from the original.

Chilled, glitchy 2 step beat. Slowed elements from the original give the track its harmonic content.

In the Summer of 2019 Greig Baird and his family moved home and into a new area of a city they have lived for many years.

The layers and layers of history in this new locale were palpable and inspired Baird to create this small collection of music, ‘Once Hallowed’.

This new area was home to a Franciscan Friary established in the 13th century and later home to a church, Allhallows-on-the-Wall built in the 19th century. This church was later a corset factory, then later a parachute factory during war time. The last burials in this place were conducted in secrecy by the light of a midnight moon during the cholera epidemic of 1832. The wall outside Baird’s home dates to Roman times and was once the south-western city limit.

The burial grounds now deconsecrated and long abandoned are also home to the catacombs of the city. Again abandoned long ago, bodies long removed, tales of stolen skulls and grave robbing, and the stone of which they are built are all that remains. The areas wildlife, dog walkers, children playing, students hanging around, drunks falling asleep on abandoned tombs and the city’s drug dealers plying trade all make the place what it is. Often beautiful as the light changes and Falcons fly above, the sounds of the day city form into the nocturnal; sometimes sad as the desperation of people’s modern situations becomes abundantly clear.

The relics of the past experienced in our present creates something else. Something deeply inspiring, creating an atmosphere deeply felt and not entirely understood.
