Lia Kohl and Kiku Hibino at Constellation
@ Constellation Chicago
3111 N Western Ave, Chicago, IL 60618
Opening Saturday, September 14th, from 8:30PM - 10:30PM
Lia Kohl celebrates the release of Normal Sounds, her new solo album on Moonglyph Records.
Equal parts reverent and playful, Normal Sounds is built around field recordings of anthropogenic sounds: fridge drones, grocery store beeps, car horns. Using a textural cloud of cello and synthesizers, Kohl alternately hallows and mimics them, offering them to the listener in a new light. The live performance will draw on Kohl’s practice as an improviser, as she plays with and around the material of the album.
Lia Kohl is a cellist, composer, and sound artist based in Chicago. Her wide-ranging practice includes composition and performance, installation, improvisation, and collaboration.
She tours nationally and internationally, working in theater, jazz, rock, and experimental contexts. Her work centers curiosity and patience, an exploration of the mundane and profound possibilities of sound.
Sound artist Kikù Hibino has dedicated his career to exploring the complex interplay between nature’s inherent structures and human imagination through electronic music. Inspired by the intricate beauty of human languages, natural patterns, optical illusions, and moiré effects, Kikù creates electronic compositions that challenge traditional rhythmic structures and melodies, inviting listeners into a world where linear and non-linear elements converge harmoniously.
