"Dub Garden (Birds Why)"

From Hoya

Hoya is the first record from Switzerland based stage director, performer and musician Fhunyue Gao and Germany/Kenya based Sven Kacirek, whose past collaborators include Shabaka Hutchings, Ogoya Nengo and John McEntire. After first meeting on a dance project in the Netherlands, the pair started creating music for theatre. Recorded at Kacirek’s Hamburg studio, Hoya grows from these explorations, with layers of Buchla synth and theremin counterpoised by marimba, percussion, electronics and piano.
