Bios are boring, but..
angela wai nok hui, a percussionist and sound artist based in London and Hong Kong. She uses sounds that are not meant to be, childhood-like sugarcoating to frame and tell the true story of the living, uses sonic elements to bring attention to the phenomena of activism and self-love with a bitter aftertaste.
She is a member of a percussion collective, Abstruckt. A 1/2 of a sonic noise duo - Understanding of Skinning. Also a co-founder of Hidden Keileon CIC, a cultural enterprise working with migrant and queer people to imagine futures with freedom and justice for all by dreaming and leading multidisciplinary and life-affirming projects.
Released two solo albums/ major works. Her debut solo work 'Let Me Tell You Something' engages with political references and themes of identity. The album has been described as“leave an appetite wanting to see more of her live in action.” (theQuietus), ...“the uncanniest debuts we’ve heard in years” (Boomkat)./
Graduated from the Royal College of Music in (MMus) with distinction as a classically trained percussionist and timpanist. Collaborated with many composers, artists and ensembles including the Royal Opera House, London Symphony Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra, London Contemporary Orchestra, Explore Ensemble, Hans Zimmer Band and more.
Reviews:
"one of the uncanniest debuts we’ve heard in years. Blessed with an extraordinary, curious sound sensitivity..." BOOMKAT on Let Me Tell You Something
"her music spins cocoons, wrapping around and immersing your mind in a time and space equal parts intimate and strange." THE QUIETUS on /the plum/
