“There are no hard and irrefutable surfaces, and throughout Haco’s dream-led ventures into space and sun and snow, reality never comes to curb the fantastical forms of what might be.” – ATTN:Magazine
“My view is ‘no borders’ when it comes to sounds for creating new music. I want to open my ears and find the rhythm and tone for all of the sounds in my life.” – Haco
Japanese singer, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and sound artist,
Haco is a composer, vocalist, electroacoustic performer, sound artist, and a founding member of After Dinner (1981-1991) and Hoahio. She has created numerous recordings both as a producer and engineer based in Kobe. In her live performances, she uses voice and self- programmed electronics as an organic method. With her “howling pot” performances, which make creative use of feedback, and “Stereo Bugscope,” which captured oscillating sounds emitted by the circuitry of an electronic device, she had developed a new genre of art.
Haco will be bringing new songs from her seventh album Qoosui (Someone Good/Room 40). She uses voice and self-programmed electronics as an ‘organic method’ in her performance, accompanied by video images shot and edited with Mariko Tajiri. Qoosui has won critical acclaim from music and art magazines and has been played on numerous radio programs in Europe, North and South America, Oceania, and Japan.

FREE ENTRY – LIVE MUSIC FROM 3PM
Haco has returned to the UK for the 1st time since 2009. This has re-ignited a collaboration that first started in Japan 5 years back.
This Sunday we will share a billing for the 1st time since our 2010 performance in Kobe, Japan. But despite being located on different continents this has not halted progress on collaboration.
Event details for Sunday: https://www.facebook.com/events/1542628315998396/ (London area)
The show back in 2010 was a 35 min improvisation which went on to be released on Vinyl LP in 2012.
Between then and now I released some solo material of which 4 songs were sampled by ‘Haco‘ when she was working on her new album ‘Secret Garden’.
So the collaboration continues moving from a live environment to studio. But the truth be told I am not even beginning to emphasise the extent of influence her music had on me. It was being a big fan of her work that inspired me to venture to tour Japan for the 1st time back in 2009 and to have met her at all was a honour. So to be collaborating is beyond any expectation.
This Sundays (one off) show just north of London will be a rare treat.
This will also be Haco’s final UK performance.
