“Hyperstition: a cultural belief (especially a work of fiction) that makes itself real; a cultural self-fulfilling prophecy where some cultural idea or hype truly brings about the thing it describes.”

Back to the pandemic era, when KLANG still used to have its physical venue which had to stay closed for entire months, we started re-thinking that space as a living and breathing environment, with its own voice and its specific sound identity. A free ecosystem where ideas could grow and develop spontaneously, with all their endemic power. This is why we started recording stuff using KLANG not just as a “live studio”, but as an instrument, a creative tool, a shrine and a musician itself. The most interesting output of these sessions has been an impro-concept-suite developed around the philosophical notion of “hyperstition”, impro-live performed by artists such as:

After a few years of fermentation, we still feel its intrinsic meaning and strength.
This is why we now decided to release this piece, letting you all dive into the powerful atmosphere that possessed us while imagining, designing and performing during those days.
