Cocojoey & Kikù Hibino

  • Compound Yellow 244 Lake Street Oak Park, IL, 60302 United States (map)

Cocojoey is a composer, performer, producer, sound designer, and educator whose genre-evading music has been described as "often elegiac, waiting until its passengers are lulled, then swerving into oncoming traffic ... an antidote to placidity" (A Closer Listen), and "hard to compare to anything else out there at the moment" (Third Coast Review). Recent premieres include “FAUVE, for chamber orchestra and rock band”, for which he won a BMI Student Composer Award, and "COMPRESS ME", an electroacoustic composition written for an ambisonic sound dome.

Kikù Hibino is a Japanese-born sound artist, who produces electronic music that focuses on unusual rhythmic structure and melodies that are inspired by optical illusion and moiré patterns. From chamber music for media productions to digital micro sound for art installations, he has collaborated internationally with a wide variety of artists and scholars, including Yuge Zhou, Mitsu Salmon, Kawaguchi Takao (Dumb Type), Theaster Gates, Mike Weis (Zelienople) and Norma Field.
