Bande-annonce
Ce vidéoclip est présenté dans le cadre de la programmation gratuite Pop-up du 16 au 26 mars 2022 de 11h00 à 18h00 à la Salle Tudor du Holt Renfrew Ogilvy.
Développé durant le confinement de 2020 par NYX, Mutualism est un voyage lent et introspectif à travers la nature, les feuilles, les pierres et la terre. Il est le fruit du travail symbiotique entre le visuel psychédélique de Nick Cobby, la performance incantatoire de MA.MOYO et les arrangements instrumentaux de NYX. Sorte de méditation métamorphique, Mutualism incarne notre relation avec la nature et notre conscience collective.

NYX is a collaborative drone choir, re-embodying live electronics and extended vocal techniques. With visceral arrangements and original compositions by choir leader Sian O’Gorman, NYX looks to reshape the role of the traditional female choir, testing the limits of organic and synthetic modulation to explore the entire spectrum of collective female voice as an instrument.
NYX is a self-managed collective and independent record label, debuting in 2018 with a 4‑part deep listening concert series of experimental collaborations with female UK composers Hatis Noit, Gazelle Twin, Iona Fortune and Alicia Jane Turner. NYX has quickly established itself as a popular music-led interdisciplinary experience : performing a sonic immersion with Sigur Rós at BST in Hyde Park, developing a sonic installation / live performance for London Design Festival and providing a live score at QEII Design Award for London Fashion Week.
NYX’s approach to post-digital performance and composition is influenced by Meredith Monk’s extended vocal technique, Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares’ charged harmonics, the electronic and acoustic body manipulations of Holly Herndon and the viscerality of Sunn 0)))’s ecstatic noise experiences. Alongside performances, the collective continues to research health and social benefits of sonic immersion in relation to ethnomusicology, sound therapy, collaboration, feminism and new digital technologies.
Following a live performance at Queen Elizabeth Hall in November 2019 described by The Times as a “a spellbinding, timeless piece of avant-garde performance art, part catharsis and part exorcism”, NYX and Gazelle Twin released their first collaborative album, Deep England, in March 2021.
