NL premiere

The unique sensory world of sound artist FUJI​|​|​|​|​|​||​|​|​|​|​TA must be experienced to be understood. Fog, voice, tone, and machine circulate in contestation and harmony. Considering no distinction between the auditory and the visual – dwelling instead with anything “phenomenal” – FUJI​|​|​|​|​|​||​|​|​|​|​TA broke through in 2020 with his album Iki, which brought to the world stage his hand-built organ that consists of 11 pipes and no keyboard. “I didn’t have a blueprint or plan,” he tells Clot Magazine. “I just created it from my imagination.” With a hand-pump at his side and a series of valves and pipes, FUJI​|​|​|​|​|​||​|​|​|​|​TA’s whirring microcosm of drone placed those who heard it under its spell. On his new album MMM (2024), he has developed his sound further, introducing an electric air-pump to his organ – allowing for microtonal deviations and unsettling but spellbinding overtones. He returns to Rewire to perform a new set which takes rhythm as its focus, bringing his constantly evolving organ and the years of careful mastery he has dedicated to it.
