about

«The Moon Turned Into The Sun»
New sonic reflections from HMOT (aka Stas Shärifulla) — a Basel-based artist & researcher from Eastern Siberia working with sound & decoloniality, drawing upon his Bashqort roots to envision new liberational futures and methodologies.

«A rather harsh result, though it's not unpleasant and is ultimately oddly compelling, even if the music does seem like something that might accompany the opening of a portal to the underworld»
— Shawn Reynaldo, The FIrst Floor

«Rhythmic progressions blunt the immovable force, piling blown-out quray tones into a firewall that keeps us moving forward. This music is stacked. Dichotomies build chaos, and in its wake we find focus in the broken shards of a world breaking apart at the seams».
— Brad Rose, Foxy Digitalis

Bio: Stas Shärifulla, aka HMOT, is an artist and researcher working with sound and decoloniality. Born in Eastern Siberia, with Bashqort indigenous heritage, Stas is studying the political potential of various musical and listening practices through live performances, lectures, interventions, and sound installations focusing on the issues of extractivism, collective memory, identity-based oppression, and militant ethnography: research as action, action as research.
