Hatis Noit

A Japanese vocal performer hailing from Shiretoko in Hokkaido and now based in London, Hatis Noit takes her name from Japanese folklore; meaning the stem of the lotus flower, which connects the living and the spirit worlds. Her music represents the same netherworld, with its ability to move and transport us to the other side; the past, a memory, our subconscious. First inspired by hearing a female monk singing during a trek in Nepal, her accomplished vocal range is entirely self-taught, inspired by everything she could find from Gagaku — Japanese classical music — and operatic styles, Bulgarian and Gregorian chanting, to avant-garde and pop vocalists. As well as collaborating widely (including with Matmos, Kevin Richard Martin and Nobumichi Asai) her performances have been commissioned by the likes of David Lynch and Rick Rubin.
