about

Enyang HA - NAME OF YOUR LIGHT

"NAME OF YOUR LIGHT" is the dazzling debut album from South Korean-born Berliner Enyang Urbiks, aka Enyang Ha, an experienced mastering engineer and producer whose music fluxes seamlessly between pop, club and experimental modes. Singing in Korean over tightly-knitted backdrops of electronic percussion and symphonic modular blasts, she resolutely refuses to take a single path, using non-traditional compositional methods to reach remarkable sonic vistas. The album is informed by concepts of reincarnation and rebirth and constantly reinvents itself, absorbing radically different genres without losing its central, coherent thread. She wrote it while pregnant and raising her son, an experience that offered her both challenges and the courage to overcome them. "It's not simple to find a path to be born again," she explains. "It requires a lot of strength and will."

Ten years ago, Ha emigrated to Berlin to ingratiate herself with the city's vibrant local music scene. She'd grown up in South Korea, but decamped to the USA - Kentucky, to be exact - when she was just 14, staying a while before moving to Tokyo to study. Now an in-demand technician who's worked alongside boundary-pushing artists like Arca, Amnesia Scanner and Perera Elsewhere, Ha produced, mixed and mastered her debut herself at her studio in Berlin's renowned Funkhaus complex. Most recently, Ha undertook a residency at Callie's, a Berlin-based non-profit exhibition space, composing and singing a contemporary Korean folk opera piece and rendering it in spatial audio. Ha channels these experiences and skills into music that speaks to a diverse global landscape where borders are as malleable as warm gold. Her prismatic understanding of culture gives her sounds a sensitivity and vulnerability that's universal but never ornate - she finds beauty in ear-splitting distortion, and complexity in sanguine radio pop.

"In our cycling time," Ha sings on 'Golden Tree'. "There are things that remind us from our deepest memory where we meet, where we unfold our space." Her words cascade over taut breaks and euphoric synths, reminding of trip-hop and simmering K-pop. But there's neither rigid past nor firm present in her music - Ha sees time as a cycle, where memory and familiarity can help unfold our inner worlds each time we're reborn. This leaves flexibility for her most challenging ideas to bend into surprising shapes, so the chaotic, percussive dissonance of 'PolaR' can effortlessly tumble towards the guitar-led highlight 'MYSTERIES', and the open-hearted 'Meeting You' can be foreshadowed by the album's unsettling, cinematic title track.

On the lilting closer 'Seasons of Lives', Ha leads listeners out with precise trap-inspired rhythms and gentle Korean vocals. It's a final reminder of her ability to search out the brilliance in a spectrum of vastly different artistic colors, and refract everything into a single gleaming beam. "I strongly feel that we are reincarnated many times to reach the point where we can resolve higher tasks," she says. "So I dedicate this album to all the spirits that traveled to this life again for a reason."
