ABOUT

...is a multi-faceted artist: dj and live performer, producer, sound designer, she has been developing for more than ten years a rich and polymorphous universe moving with finesse between dance-floor, conceptual productions and contemporary art.

Music here is a family story and Hatari fell into it from the cradle. Her mother, a pop artist from the Brazilian counter-culture, then a magic potion: drums and percussions that she studied with the Italian jazzman Francesco Miccolis. Not older than thirteen apples, she fiddles with her step father's old Yamaha sequencer, using the manual as a bedside book. A Hip-Hop adolescence, a lifelong love for House, Techno and Drum'n'Bass and the picture is set.

These first impressions resonate today in a production underpinned by a fundamental interest in the question of established musical formats and an immoderate taste for their deconstruction.

Hatari conceives her music - porous, organic, resolutely uninhibited - as a permanent field of research and playground. The studio becomes a laboratory, highly enjoyable, and Hatari has an undeniable talent for alchemy: home-made concoctions of algorithms and synthesis racks against a background of field recordings at the end of the room, polyrhythmic emulsions or Afro-Brazilian invocations with multiple echoes, the toolbox is as big as the world. This particular approach of sound and its construction, naturally fuel the heart and engine of her dj sets and marathon live performances. Micro-tensions, enlightened minimalism and textured echoes. Hatari likes to tell stories and her sound palette is CinemaScope.
