Folk, Noise, Electronics, Improvisation \u2013 how can radical music help us manifest new possibilities for thinking and imagine new ways of organising community through ritual behaviours, actions and languages?\n\nYL Hooi talks through the convergence of genres that influence her sound, her collaborative relationship with Tarquin Manek and how her songs have evolved over time.\n\nYL Hooi is the project of Valya Ying-Li Hooi, inhabiting a subtle and mysterious realm of furtive, dubbed-out song, sparse electronic percussion, and distant winds. Moving seamlessly from angelic song to gritty tape gunk, Hooi\u2019s work opens onto a multitude of genres and directions while retaining a distinctly personal stamp through her obsessively zoned-out dub production tactics. \n\nhttps://liquidarchitecture.org.au/events/yl-hooi-bhairavi-raman-with-nanthesh-sivarajah\n\nRitual Community Music\n7 August 2022\nThe Oratory, Abbotsford Convent\nPresented by Abbotsford Convent and Liquid Architecture\n\nhttps://www.patreon.com/liquidarchitecture\n\nFinancial support from patrons at any level has a resounding impact on our work.
