Sayaka Botanic
Sayaka Botanic brings together instruments, electronics, magnetic tape, and fragments of voice, setting sonic and visual experiments in dialogue. Identifying the origin of a sound is deliberately elusive, as textures mutate and voices partially emerge without fully revealing themselves. Her latest release, Nonexistent Landscape, presents an imaginary terrain that invites detachment from reality and movement toward an outside that may not seem welcoming, but is nonetheless inhabitable.
HUH
Welcoming trailblazing Japanese free form noise/rock/avant duo HUH, who put the unfettered scream back into punk. HUH is one of the major shining lights in the Japanese avant-garde.
Kyosuke Terada: electric guitar
Takuma Mori: drums
Thank you to ABSORB(ED) and MISCELLANIA for co-producing HUH and Sayaka Botanic![]()
