From dreamy and dark to euphoric and explosive with music from Jlin
Open Canvas a project that finds percussion group HIIIT seek collaboration with a new generation of makers; digital natives who create music via laptops and think in sound and samples.
The title Open Canvas does not come out of the blue. HIIIT will play a lot of music by renowned footwork producer Jlin. She released her album Akoma on Planet Mu Records in 2024; a whirlwind of eclectic upbeat percussion. Open Canvas is one of the highlights of that record. Besides the arrangements arranged especially for HIIIT, older repertoire will be performed, such as Fourth Perspective and Duality, as well as music from breakthrough album Black Origami
When HIIIT and Jlin join forces, an adventurous synthesis of hypnotic rhythm patterns, organic soundscapes and fascinating scenography spills forth. Sometimes dreamy and dark, at other times euphoric and explosive. This enchanting cross-pollination between ritual percussion and drum machines will transport you to the darkest depths of electronics and classical minimal music.
Especially great news for us in Korzo: this night, dj & producer upsammy will join HIIIT to bring Jlin's compositions to life.
HIIIT is a frontline of innovative sound virtuosos, performing artists and multi-deployable co-creators. HIIIT's sound embraces diversity, from traditional percussion to unconventional sound sources such as porcelain and 3D printed instruments. Together with contemporary artists and makers, they explore new musical horizons and stimulate innovation and experimentation in the music world.
