We welcome Japanese vocal performer, Hatis Noit, hailing from Shiretoko in Hokkaido who now resides in London. 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 name Hatis Noit itself is taken from Japanese folklore, meaning the stem of the lotus flower. She has recently appeared at various festivals across Europe including David Lynch’s Manchester International Festival takeover. NPR had this to say about her debut full-length album Aura (2022): “Aura is a bold, impressive debut which signals—loud, clear and creatively—that when Hatis Noit opens her throat to sing, we should be listening”. Pittsburgh-based ambient, experimental musician, Morgan Stewart opens the evening. Stewart draws on a wide array of influences and synthesizes them into a form that is uniquely hers, manipulating traditional song structures to deliver an environment that is at once familiar and revelatory. This set will see a deconstruction of previous work to create wholly new arrangements by building layers of texture of voice and sound.

• Doors open at 7 p.m.
