OFTV

Her name is Madiana, born and raised in Paris, France. Her father and mother, respectively from Benin, Martinique, Niger and France, raised her and her sisters listening to a wide variety of sounds, from zouk to soul to new wave during roatrips. She's a digger, a finder and most of all she like to share her musical discoveries. Two years ago she had the opportunity to make her first public experience, thanks to the Baklawa FM show, alongside friends of hers, and broadcasted for a while on the MNE radio (@radio-mne). At the same time that she started to share stories written and told by herself, about ogresses who eat their friends or people who are looking for stuff.

This mix is thought of as a story that she prefers not to provide the keys to understand.

Ga Ga Ee (Totoro Drum And Bass OHYUNG Remix)

Fall is a customary time for all your ghosts and metamorphs to come alive in a nightly dance of boundless echoing contradictions. Swayed by their flows, you find yourself staggering in strange mist, between worlds. Soon after, you open your eyes in some backwater dead-end, wondering what took you there. It does get pretty loud in there at night.

Dileta - Inner Clamour Mix

Artist: At Her Open Door
Album: FLIR
Format: Digital / Tape
Cat.No: CHI041
Master: Taiki Kobayashi
Artwork: Saphy Vong
Release Date: 5th October 2022

A glitching, heavy darkness pervades FLIR, the new album from Tokyo-based artist At Her Open Door, to be released on Chinabot. Combining uniquely diverse elements – dubstep, traditional Chinese instrumentation, and progressive rock, among others – FLIR is a whirlwind journey through fruitful experimentation, creating a world of jagged sonic edges and frenetic beats along the way.

Taiki Kobayashi of At Her Open Door started out in progressive rock and hardcore bands, and now describes his work as “a fusion of Asian traditional instruments and 80s synths for a modern approach.” With FLIR, wobble bass and jungle add new textures to his precise, melodic compositions, which also make use of the characteristic bell sounds of the Peking Opera.

Tracks like CINA display this approach, blending up a melody that could have come from an 80’s sci fi soundtrack with Chinese instrumentation and wobble bass, for an aggressive, thumping blitz on the senses.

“FLIR is an acronym for “forward-looking infrared” and is intended to mean the result of detecting something hot,” says Kobayashi, referring to his exploratory musical process. “In composing the songs, I have been focused on reproducing and shaping the sound that I want to hear now.”

Lately, he has also been inspired by electronic music from Depeche Mode and Yellow Magic Orchestra. “What I valued in creating FLIR was the fusion of the esoteric and aggressive atmosphere of that music with the 80s romanticism that I have explored in the past,” he says.

About At Her Open Door:

At Her Open Door is an experimental music project started in 2007 by Japanese artist Taiki Kobayashi. His music is characterized by crossing various genres such as dubstep, experimental, IDM, new wave, Traditional asian instrumentations, new age, and 80s synth wave.
