about

Hzarête’s music emerged from an ongoing dialogue between Gavin Morrow and Yusef Sayed. Via email and through regular meetups, the pair swapped original writings, sound recordings, photographs, found media, anecdotes and various notes on analogue and digital culture. Recurring interests include internet trends, experimental music clichés, traveller's tales and strange car boot finds. The pair’s correspondence formed the basis of a specific performance idea, a Hzarête set. In combination with live acoustic and electronic instrumentation, any number of these collected audiovisual materials and ideas were selected and transformed into stark new shapes, by turns haunting and humorous.

Based in Nottingham and Lincoln respectively, Morrow and Sayed developed the project at the Weird Garden music events in Lincoln, where Morrow regularly performed solo sets as Grey Frequency. Also a graphic designer, photographer and film programmer, Morrow's video backdrops form an essential part of Hzarête’s shows. His music has been featured on both BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction and BBC Radio 6 Music's Freak Zone. Sayed is a writer and sometime performer of music under the name Crackling Mountain. He has contributed articles on film and sound to The Wire and Sight and Sound among numerous other publications.
