Hatis Noit

November 8, 2018 6:54 AM

Hatis Noit is a Japanese singer/vocal artist whose music is (almost) entirely composed of looped vocals and overdubs.

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).

"In this song, a memorial to the deceased people, a feeling for the people who she met in the place and a self-indulgence of self refusal are expressed as a prayer."

I saw her once without knowing at all what to expect. It was on a bill with Japanese noise bands. It was pretty great.
