SUMMARY:Hatis Noit at Tube Factory artspace
DESCRIPTION:“Words cannot describe everything we feel. How can one accurately verbalise the sensation we feel when we’re a newborn and our mother holds us in her arms\, and we feel her skin on our cheek. We clearly feel her warmth and humidity\, some feeling of love from her\, but it’s tough to verbalise it perfectly. Music is a language that can translate that sensation\, feeling\, the memory of love.” — Hatis Noit \nThere isn’t a more unique entry into a musical journey than that of Japanese voice artist Hatis Noit. Her musical awakening took place at the tender age of sixteen during a trek to Buddha’s birthplace in Nepal. One morning when staying at a women’s temple she came across a female monk singing Buddhist chants whose otherworldly sounds moved her so intensely that she was instantly aware of the visceral power of the human voice; a primal and instinctive instrument that connects us to the very essence of humanity\, nature and our universe. From that moment she knew singing was her calling. \nHer newest album\, Aura was inspired by the German philosopher Walter Benjamin who used this term to describe the fundamental essence of art\, which he believed is strongest in its original form\, only happening once. Hatis agrees with this particular aspect as she realised\, “during the pandemic\, I really struggled. As a singer\, I’m not very good at working on the computer. I much prefer doing live performances in physical spaces. Being with people\, sharing the same space with them and feeling the atmosphere and energy of that moment\, inspires me every time. To me art is that — that shared moment.” \nThe gravitas of the pandemic caused Noit to look inwards and reflect. This resulted in the album becoming a remedy for what was going on in the world and ultimately to remember the joys and richness of life. Hatis adds to this sentiment\, “we cannot live forever\, do everything or be everywhere. But that makes our lives unique and invaluable. I wanted to be focused on our limitations and show how precious life is.” \nThe name Hatis Noit itself is taken from Japanese folklore\, meaning the stem of the lotus flower. The lotus represents the living world\, while its root represents the spirit world\, therefore Hatis Noit is what connects the two. For Hatis\, music represents the same netherworld with its ability to move and transport us to the other side; the past\, a memory\, our subconscious. \nThrough the opening piece ‘Aura’\, which shares its title with the album\, she evokes a haunting memory of getting lost in a forest in her birthplace Shiretoko\, Hokkaido. “I felt as if I was close to my death\, I could feel myself dissolving into and becoming a part of nature rather than just being an individual. This sense of awe and peace found there is always the place where I start making music from\,” she remembers. \nYears of perfecting her craft via live performances led her to the creation of this debut album which follows on from the introductory 2018 EP\, Illogical Dance. An autodidact with an impressive range\, Noit is inspired by Gagaku — Japanese classical music — folk music\, operatic styles\, Bulgarian and Gregorian chanting\, as well as avant-garde and pop vocalists to create her inimitable style. Hatis creates wordless music\, unique song worlds with transcendent vocal interpretations of epic proportions — most evident on ‘Jomon’ where she channels the fierce\, dynamic energy and power of prehistoric culture during Japan’s Jomon period. \nAstonishingly all songs on this record were created using her voice only. The single exception being ‘Inori’ for which she took a field recording of the ocean only one kilometre away from the nuclear power plant in Fukushima. Hatis Noit had been invited there for a memorial ceremony which marked the re-opening of the area for local people to return to their homes. The emotive and compassionate song is dedicated to the lives lost due to 2011’s tsunami\, but equally to the many beautiful memories people have of their hometown. \nThe album was recorded in Berlin where Noit laid down her vocals in just eight hours\, before the pandemic forced her and producer Robert Raths to stay local and mix it in East London\, which led to working with a new collaborator: engineer Marta Salogni. Between lockdowns it was decided to take the recordings and reamplify them in a local church to bring them closer to that moment of live performance. \n“It was almost like a miracle when Robert came up with the idea. That was the moment that changed everything for the album as the physical space with its organic ambience brought everything to life\,” Hatis Noit recalls. \nAn important part of her practice and something she missed dearly during lockdown\, her impressive live performances have included headline and festival shows across Europe\, including a sold-out London show accompanied by the London Contemporary Orchestra at Southbank Centre\, a special live performance at Milan Fashion Week and she was also invited by the revered director David Lynch to perform at his Manchester International Festival takeover in 2019. Her collaborations have seen her work with Kevin Richard Martin aka The Bug\, the NYX Electronic Drone Choir and she appeared on recordings by fellow countryman Masayoshi Fujita as well as Ukrainian pianist and Continuous Music pioneer Lubomyr Melnyk. \nPrevious press: \n“One to watch: Hatis Noit — with her ethereal crossover of mystical and modern\, \nthis Japanese artist has been moving audiences to tears” — The Guardian \n“Mixes childlike purity and digital pointillism” — The New York Times \n“Truly extraordinary… An exquisite piece of work” — Mary Anne Hobbs\, BBC 6 Music \n“Words don’t really do it justice — an extraordinary piece of music” — Clash \n“The magic in ‘Illogical Dance’ lies squarely in the human voice itself; Hatis Noit bends her vocals into so many shapes that other instruments simply seem redundant” — Drowned In Sound \n“The voice is capable of incredible nuance. Case studies: Björk’s Medulla\, Tanya Tagaq’s Inuit throat nsinging\, Janis Joplin. Add Hatis Noit to the list” — Tiny Mix Tapes \n“Our perception has been altered” — A Closer Listen \n“Astonishing” — Uncut

SUMMARY:Cyanotype Workshop With Aurora PhotoCenter
DESCRIPTION:Cyanotype is a camera-less photography made out in the sun\, rather than in a darkroom. You place objects — such as plants — on top of a piece of photo-treated paper\, and then use the sun to expose the paper. The result is an image that is an exact outline of the object. It’s a fun and magical way to engage photography! Although it may be new to modern people\, cyanotype has been around since photography was invented in the 1800s. \nCome explore the creative possibilities of this fascinating process!\nWe will have some objects on hand to experiment with\, but feel free to bring your own objects. Flat items usually work best\, and cyanotype can be messy\, so precious things like family heirlooms should probably stay at home. All other necessary materials will be provided free at the workshop.\nIn partnership with Aurora PhotoCenter for SPARK on the Circle. \nThis activity is best suited for artists 7+ years old; minors must be accompanied by an adult. \nWe at Big Car are teaming up with Downtown Indy and the City of Indianapolis — with support from the Capital Improvement Board and the Indiana War Memorials Commission— to spark Monument Circle with human-scale activities like games\, live music\, artmaking\, and socializing in a comfortable place.\n\nSPARK on the Circle is an ongoing partnership between Big Car Collaborative\, Downtown Indy\, City of Indianapolis Department of Metropolitan Development\, the Capital Improvement Board\, and the Indiana War Memorials Commission.

SUMMARY:Artist Workshop With Giselle Trujillo
DESCRIPTION:Come join us at SPARK for a FREE workshop with artist Giselle Trujillo! \nAbout the Artist: \nInside of me\, like inside of everyone\, there are many characters waiting to come out in order to be somehow present in this world. They come out from a pencil and play with papers\, from our mind and play with our life. \nOnce\, when I was a child\, I was close to the sea and I understood everything it said to me. then my hands made a face\, a body; some faces\, some bodies that watched me\, touched me\, and I watched them and touched them and then they abandoned me\, leaving with the sea\, melting themselves with all those characters who were born and going to be born from the sand and they had left with the breeze and with the sea (they are still my friends that I will never see again). \nIt happened the same with the mud\, but the faces and the bodies wouldn’t leave. and here they were; I didn’t plan them\, I didn’t make a sketch of them and they appeared. They wake me up any hour\, any time talking to me\, moving through my hands and when they say ” leave me like this ” I transform them in stone… …And my mind and my soul will rest in the stone\, in the paper and in the sand\, which had already gone. \nWe at Big Car are teaming up with Downtown Indy and the City of Indianapolis — with support from the Capital Improvement Board and the Indiana War Memorials Commission— to spark Monument Circle with human-scale activities like games\, live music\, artmaking\, and socializing in a comfortable place.\n\nSPARK on the Circle is an ongoing partnership between Big Car Collaborative\, Downtown Indy\, City of Indianapolis Department of Metropolitan Development\, the Capital Improvement Board\, and the Indiana War Memorials Commission.

SUMMARY:Artist Workshop: Pyrography with Nasreen Khan
DESCRIPTION:Pyrography\, commonly known as wood burning\, is the art of drawing and writing using a burning tool for etching designs onto different surfaces\, usually wood.\nYou can use pyrography to add drawings or writings to wood\, gourds\, leather\, and any other material that wouldn’t be destroyed by the heat from the burning tool.\n\nKhan will talk about the process\, give examples and allow attendees to try it out (must sign a waiver).\n\nIndianapolis-based artist Nasreen Khan grew up in West Africa and Indonesia and moved to the gritty American Midwest by way of New York City. She and her toddler son live in their bungalow on Indianapolis’ Near Westside. On a Friday night she can be found cooking various organ meats or chasing down a stellar mint julep.\nHer Indianapolis art is all a tribute to Haughville. Since moving to Indianapolis and putting down roots\, walking the streets of Haughville and becoming part of the fabric here has kept her grounded. Haughville has been the tableau for building community\, exploring her queer identity\, motherhood\, and teaching her son about race.\n\n\nWe at Big Car are teaming up with Downtown Indy and the City of Indianapolis — with support from the Capital Improvement Board and the Indiana War Memorials Commission— to spark Monument Circle with human-scale activities like games\, live music\, artmaking\, and socializing in a comfortable place.\n\nSPARK on the Circle is an ongoing partnership between Big Car Collaborative\, Downtown Indy\, City of Indianapolis Department of Metropolitan Development\, the Capital Improvement Board\, and the Indiana War Memorials Commission.

SUMMARY:Artist Workshop: Pyrography with Nasreen Khan
DESCRIPTION:Pyrography\, commonly known as wood burning\, is the art of drawing and writing using a burning tool for etching designs onto different surfaces\, usually wood. You can use pyrography to add drawings or writings to wood\, gourds\, leather\, and any other material that wouldn’t be destroyed by the heat from the burning tool. \nKhan will talk about the process\, give examples and allow attendees to try it out (must sign a waiver). \nIndianapolis-based artist Nasreen Khan grew up in West Africa and Indonesia and moved to the gritty American Midwest by way of New York City. She and her toddler son live in their bungalow on Indianapolis’ Near Westside. On a Friday night she can be found cooking various organ meats or chasing down a stellar mint julep. Her Indianapolis art is all a tribute to Haughville. Since moving to Indianapolis and putting down roots\, walking the streets of Haughville and becoming part of the fabric here has kept her grounded. Haughville has been the tableau for building community\, exploring her queer identity\, motherhood\, and teaching her son about race. \nWhat’s This? \nWe at Big Car are teaming up with Downtown Indy and the City of Indianapolis — with support from the Capital Improvement Board and the Indiana War Memorials Commission— to spark Monument Circle with human-scale activities like games\, live music\, artmaking\, and socializing in a comfortable place. We’re based from the southwest quadrant in front of the Emmis.
