NEXCYIA
KMRU presents WAI8
Sound artist and experimental ambient musician NEXCYIA explores themes of otherness, belonging and memory through immersive sonic environments. Weaving together rich textures, field recordings and processed samples, he transforms familiar sounds into fractured, otherworldly forms. His compositions employ fragmented voices, environmental traces and decaying tonalities to craft ever-evolving soundscapes shaped by erosion and absence. Through granular synthesis, metallic resonances and degraded electronic hums form dissonant structures, while ephemeral harmonic motifs introduce moments of fragile clarity within the chaos.
This artist is part of the program curated by KMRU. The sound artist presents WAI8, an eight-hour durational performance that examines time and attention through the practice of waiting as an active form of engagement. Its iteration at Le Guess Who? features nine performers, positioning waiting as a space where sound is allowed to breathe, decay and resonate over time.
