Can I Get a Chayah? Transcendentalism & Judeo-Arabic Culture | Hoyah

hoyah חיה- “to be, become, come to pass, exist, happen, fall out”, is an experimental electronic musician and visual artist, based in Berlin, who focuses on sampling and production techniques to create collages of musical and visual feeling. Focusing on specifically curated guidelines, hoyah's work aims to send the audience on a sonic journey, using textures, real-world sounds, and popular music themes to convey a thoughtful theme. Using a wide variety of sound sources, spanning from hip-hop drum machines to archived Judeo-Arabic recordings, hoyah strives to push the boundaries of the soundworld all whilst delivering it in an accessible form factor. The themes of hoyah's work focus on transcendentalism (particularly in Jewish culture), psychedelia, intimacy, and serenity.
