WAVES

I have held the hands of loss
Felt them fade away
With wistful smiles we toss grey hours of betray 
Lead the way
Lead the way

We raise our arms above and leap down cold rocks
How pure
The joyful sands embrace
The shore longs for us and cleans decay
Lead the way
Beneath the waves

Can I imitate the waves? 
Can I recreate an anchor?
In the darkest depths of memory

Can I imitate the waves?
Can I recreate an anchor?
In the darkest depths of sea

Cross your arms across your chest
Deepest dark awaits 
Breathe in final beams of dawn 
Let them dress your heavy heart 
Lead the way
Beneath the waves of us

Can I imitate the waves?
Can I recreate an anchor?
In the darkest depths of memory

Can I imitate the waves?
Can I recreate an anchor?
In the darkest depths of sea

I will imitate the waves
I will recreate an anchor
In the darkest depths of sea

I will imitate the waves
I will recreate a fall
Into the darkest depths of sea

ft. Arnór Dan / Waves

You're just another crazy motherfucker making other crazy motherfuckers take it all apart until its nothing.

I'm that guy. I think you know my TV show. The greatest show. (The greatest of them all)
The one where I let you go.
I tell you no. (I think its called Apprentice)
I say you're done now.

Balls so big that hes making 'em bounce.
Dick so hard that hes choking us out.
There's no hope and there is nothing but doubt.
The brown skinned motherfuckers got him thinnin' them out.
You got streets on fire, burning 'em down.
Fucked up bad and now we're gunnin em down.
Jaws so wide and now you're burning it down.
Oh what the fuck is your problem gotta put it all out.

We got a wall so high that its touching the clouds.
Racist motherfuckers keep on running their mouths.
Think you're stupid well you figured it out, because you wanted him for President.

We got a red-head clown and hes running the town.
Tellin all the suckers hes not fucking around.
Well here's my finger and I'm sticking it out. 
Because you wanted him for President.

Whats gonna happen when it all goes down?
I'm hoping that some Angels will descend from the clouds.
Take one look and then wipe us all out, because you wanted him for President.

And we'll all be there when the trumpet sounds.
Eyes to the sky and the Angel's mouths.
Whats that he's saying? I can't make it out.

That if you vote for him you're wrong.

The Highest Flood

The Highest Flood [clip]

Japanese vocal performer Hatis Noit will release her enigmatic EP Illogical Dance via Erased Tapes worldwide on 23rd  March 2018. The arresting 4-track record creates unique song-worlds with transcendent vocal interpretations that at once deconstruct and recombine Western Classical, Japanese folk and nature’s own ambience atmosphere. Illogical Dance also features Björk-collaborators Matmos, who were so impressed with Hatis Noit’s recordings, they volunteered to edit the lead track Illogical Lullaby. 

Hailing from the distant Shiretoko, a small town in Hokkaido, which is the largest island in north Japan, Hatis Noit’s accomplished range is astonishingly self-taught, inspired by everything she could find from Gagaku — Japanese classical music — and operatic styles, Bulgarian and Gregorian chanting, to avant-garde and pop vocalists. The sounds she created on Illogical Dance, co-produced by Haruhisa Tanaka and Matmos, bring to mind the experimental vocal patterns of Meredith Monk with the attentive production of Holly Herndon.

It was at the age of 16, during a trek in Nepal to the Buddha’s birthplace, when she realised singing was her calling. While staying at a women’s temple in Lumbini, one morning on a walk Hatis Noit heard someone singing. On further investigation it was a female monk singing Buddhist chants, alone. The sound moved her so intensely 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. 

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 the spirit world, therefore Hatis Noit is what connects the two. For Hatis Noit, music represents the same netherworld with its ability to move and transport us to the other side; the past, a memory, our subconscious. It is the same for Illogical Dance, a set of transformative songs that taps into our most primal instincts. 

“The human voice is our oldest, most primal yet most powerful instrument. I use it to describe nature’s many sounds, a language that isn’t logical. Yet it forms a beautiful conversation that isn’t restricted to words like the human language is. I want my music to remind us of that.” — Hatis Noit

Wanting to interpret and mimic the sounds Hatis Noit hears in nature, Illogical Dance is as unpredictable, beautiful and mysterious as the world around us. Each track is made up from multi layers of vocals, all improvised and without words, before being carefully pieced together. Astonishingly no samples are used throughout, even the sound of crushing leaves came from Hatis Noit’s own vocal chords. The result is a stunning array of sound sculptures that see her switching between multiple styles with great ease. From the sweet operatics on Illogical Lullaby, the manipulated vocal loops duplicating electronic production on Anagram c.i.y. to the primordial chanting call to arms of Angelus Novus, a 10-minute odyssey that features whispering and leaves crunching, it showcases Hatis Noit’s full range and introduces a truly original artist. 



After participating in a memorial and appreciation ceremony tailored to the withdrawal of the evacuation area in Fukushima on 31st March 2017, Hatis Noit collaborated with renowned visual artist Nobumichi Asai on a project titled INORI (prayer) which they premiered live as part of an Erased Tapes showcase at Mutek Japan in Tokyo. 

Having recently moved to London and performed a first string of UK shows, followed by a special live performance at the Milan Fashion Week and Mutek Japan appearance, Peter Broderick has invited Hatis Noit to support him at the Jazz Cafe on April 15th. She’s also been announced as part of this year’s Sea Change Festival line-up, and asked to participate in a workshop with the London Contemporary Orchestra.
