MVMNTS: Hiro Kone x Roxy Farman

by Hiro Kone

supported by

BenPujara An astounding piece of music and for a great cause. Hiro Kone crafts entire planets out of sound, and this one whines and shudders under cliffs of pearl and craggy granite. Favorite track: MVMNT i.

rikm Abstract sound studies creating tangible sonic environments for the listener to explore. A fascinating and impressive use of sound to convey new spaces.

Highly recommended...

about

Update! With your help we were able to raise and donate $627 to Akhuwat, which along with flood assistance, will be giving interest free loans to help people rebuild their homes in Pakistan. Please consider making a donation directly to this organization if you are able as we will no longer be accepting donations here. All future funds will be donated to COVID Bail Out NYC. Thank you.

As you know over 33 million people are currently displaced in Pakistan. A horror that is directly the result of the global norths ceaseless carbon emissions. Two years ago when the pandemic started, Roxy and I put out a small EP of our time at Pioneer Works to help raise money for Covid Bail Out NYC. We are momentarily diverting those funds today and for the next week to relief efforts in Pakistan. Roxy is currently speaking with friends families in order to determine the best way of getting funds there either through mutual aid groups and/or families directly. We will update later but for times sake and because it’s Bandcamp Friday we will take up collection now. Every cent helps. Thank you.

After collection this EP will go back to collecting funds for COVID Bail Out NYC.

All proceeds from this release will go to COVID Bail Out NYC. Donations will help to post bail for medically vulnerable people held in New York City jails and provide comprehensive post-release support, such as shelter and food, for those individuals. www.covidbailout.org

During their August 2019 music residency at Pioneer Works, Roxy Farman (Wetware) and Hiro Kone conceived of a very large metal instrument made out of sheet metal and springs, welded together by Kyle Keays. Using contact mics attached to the instrument while playing, they could send envelope and gate triggers to the modular synth, eliciting a call and response between these two dynamically different instruments. The following is a series of experiments from that period.

These sessions were captured live in the studio at Pioneer Works, ahead of their public performance which utilized video, voice, violin, modular and the spring board instrument.

Such a dense, mystical record with an almost impenetrable shroud of darkness surrounding it. However, once the layers start peeling back, you start seeing the light. It's far away. You'll never touch it. VOIDSPIRE

Damn this album hits hard, really goes to show how much of a serious illness alzheimer’s/dementia is. Stage 3 is especially amazing yet horrifying. jayjayboi
