Hitam

We’re so back. The first collaborative EP by Hitam and Haumea, ‘Naram Ish’tuel’ is out today via Rhiza Semar. Digitally available now on Bandcamp. Six tracks moving from sun-scorched mirages to subterranean echoes and mineral silence. ‘Still Water’ sets the tone from below the surface. With a movement that is slow, almost imperceptible at first. Like parasitic growth spreading through darkened currents. Rhythm emerges as something alive rather than imposed, expanding outward with a quiet, inevitable force. From there, the record drifts across multiple states of desert heat, mountain passages, synthetic passages. There can be found harmony in the juxtapositions, as tempos rise and fall, structures tighten and dissolve, yet an underlying current persists as if guided by an unseen axis. That sense of movement becomes most explicit in Cartilage Dust, where percussion and entities unfold as if invoked by spirit rather than pattern. Then Arm Bone Opium Flask circles, advances, and disorients, evoking a traversal through time, landscape, and memory. By the time Naram Ish’tuel emerges, the framework has largely dissolved. What remains is a mystical, more inward-facing symbology of ethereal tones suspended over a slow, swamp-like pulse. It feels familiar, yet unplaceable, gradually collapsing into a quiet catharsis, like an ancient talisman resurfacing through layers of time, carried forward by a force without origin. Together the tracks operates as a cycle of immersion and release, where organic textures and synthetic structures continuously blur into one another. Rather than offering resolution, the record lingers in cyclical perpetuation
between surface and depth, memory and projection. 1. Haumea - Still Water 2. Hitam - Aksum Prophecy 3. Hitam & Haumea - Cartilage Dust 4. Haumea - Nocturnal Rapport 5. Hitam - Arm Bone Opium Flask 6.

In the new studio holding “Vesturgata Gaze” which released a month ago on Omen Wapta. The tracks from this EP came together through collecting sounds from my journey in Iceland and exploring how to transmute them into something that resonates with the primal but remains without clear form. I ended up using multiple recordings from the trip itself. Droplets falling from a cave ceiling, the hum of our apartment refrigerator, and the rhythmic clicks created by the wind moving through the landscape. It all fed into a deeper fascination I’ve had for a while: nature, ancient rituals, lost knowledge, and the idea that sound once had a more direct connection to something beyond us. I’m very grateful to how well this release has been received so far, and to Woody for the trust. And a big thanks to Philip Kylberg for translating this world so precisely into the artwork, which is an art in itself.

OW14 Hitam - Vesturgata Gaze On ‘Vesturgata Gaze’, Hitam traverses a new biome. Geographically and metaphorically. Through this introductory release on Omen Wapta, a remarkable voice in techno lunges into artistic deliverance. Here we, the listeners, find ourselves with an EP that harbours immense emotive voltage. A perspective-pivoting trip unmistakably lies at the root of the soundwaves crashing into our eardrums. Tectonic shifts reshuffle subterranean frequencies on ‘Gomlutun Ruins’. On ‘Djedd Pillars’, we humbly stand witness as ceremonial incantations demarcate indigenous land. ‘Keadaan Aliran’ sweeps us up into century-old rhythmic phrases that strike as if descending from periods of persistent rainfall. The reverb of a cavernous space deregulating your perception of balance, is a sensation that crawls all over ‘Vesturgata Gaze’ and ‘Ningishzida’. In elusive ways, this record assigns a bardic function to mostly nonverbal music. The archives stand tall both as fact and as fiction. All five tracks consistently bring forward traces of such life-affirming events. Large and small, old and new, funneled into one inertia-transcending project after a thorough exploration of Iceland. Geological features are resculpted into sound in grand fashion, but thanks to creative mixing choices, subtlety and surprise always run the gamut. It allows Hitam to carefully document the many undercurrents of experience and cultivate them through the magical power of peer-to-peer creative dialogue. Showing that commitment and intimate collaboration, taking on bold artistic ventures, touching moss and glaciers – that’s what can break the mould.
