Young thug - My Romance FT. BILL EVANS

Yikii - Chorion
Cat. Nr: DN026
Format: DL
Release Date: January 5, 2023
Buy / stream: dansenoire.ffm.to/Chorion

The eerie lullaby of Yikii’s vast creative universe continues with her latest LP, Chorion. Following the anxious beauty of 2021’s ambient, post-club, and avant-pop-inspired Crimson Poem 深紅之詩 album, the Changchun-based artist carries her expansive experiments in harmony and dissonance onto her timeless gothic electroacoustics that operate at the nexus of the past, the present, and the future. Here, avant-garde contemporary classical meets utilitarian videogame composition to create a wholly immersive sonic environment that’s as ravishing as it is terrifying.

Named after the life-giving embryonic membrane that eventually forms the placenta, Chorion takes its conceptual cue from science-fiction writer Andy Weir’s acclaimed short story, The Egg. In it, a god and a dead man on the threshold of reincarnation discuss the notion of a Universal One—the unity of everyone and all things. On Chorion, the idea of whether we are "every human being who ever lived" is presented less as a question and more an inarguable fact, in a soundscape built from a glut of musical material created and collected by Yikii between 2018 and 2021.

Haunting the album cover is a painting of a Rhaphidophoridae—the artist’s entomophobia (an extreme fear of insects) projected onto the spiny silhouette of this blind and unpredictable subterranean cricket, reminiscent of the parasitic arthropods of first-person shooter games like BioShock and Resident Evil. Trained pianist Yikii applies these solitary pursuits of the digital era to her experiments in microtonal music and special tunings, which delve into the dark recesses of the cumulative subconscious. From the queasy hallucinations of her “Dream Cassette” reworking to the acutely physical rhythms of “Melinoë” and “Mongolian Worm,” there’s a twisted interiority to Chorion, where a battery of sonic, conceptual, and emotional material implodes in a dazzling vortex of violent intensity.

Step into the World.wav_soundcloud

Unseen lane toward the deferral breath
Fog unspools, hums like it knows me 
Straining to perceive what I have encoded 
And they leave anyway 
Countless doors to exit

Tracing the edges of each shade
Arise from the entrails of circuitry vain
Withhold in a corridor - ornaments of the dim ache

TEARS026 coming soon...

沒有人能逃出這個世界的寒冷。

最終氷期 post-glacial ages

Yikii composes, arranges, produces, mixes, sings, writes lyrics, and designs album covers for all her music.
​    Since 2017, she has released over ten entirely self-produced albums. Her style has evolved into a complex fusion, consistently showcasing a sleek dichotomy between nightmarish atmospheres and grandiose explosions of energy. Yikii has continually experimented with somber piano music, ethereal vocals, horror sound design, distorted hardcore kick drums, terrifying noise, nursery rhymes, and more. Although her music often leans toward melancholy, she focuses more on the faint glimmers of light that remain within the darkness. A rich sense of imagery reveals a strange world.
    From a young age, Yikii studied voice and piano. Upon acquiring her first computer, she began teaching herself music production using Logic Pro. Her creative impetus is drawn from nightmares, psychological trauma, and a longstanding fascination with science fiction literature.
    Yikii lives an isolated life, rarely socializing with humans and spending more time with animals. When tormented by the nihility of existence and immersed in nothingness, she creates music and poetry as a refuge, exploring dreams of the organic and inorganic beyond reality.
    During solitary walks, she often carries a recording device, capturing ambient sounds to incorporate into her works as "living music." She believes that these recorded moments are key clues to time travel.
    Yikii no longer performs live, having realized that her main style of music is unsuited to this format. The pressure of human crowds has become unbearable for her, both physically and psychologically.
