Berlin, December 5th, 2025.
We are proud to announce the pre-order, premier performance and the release of ‘Burnt Sand Learning to Sing’, a new album by Chi Him Chik and Aquiles Hadjis, and just a few delays ahead of its premier performance at PAS Berlin, where Chi performs with his improvisation machine Aiii alongside material/ hardware by Aquiles with a line-up of supporting artists.
Burnt Sand Learning to Sing is a musical dialogue between Aquiles Hadjis and Chi Him Chik. Hadjis, known for sculptural approaches to improvisation and cross‑media dialogue, meets Chik’s transformative performances shaped by chaos, reflection, and emotion.
The encounter is supported by the occasional voice of Aiii – an improvisation machine developed by Chik to deliver unpredictable phrases in response to its experience of listening and becoming.
Recorded in Tokyo, Japan during September 2024 and mixed by Aquiles Hadjis, the album preserves the raw dynamics of the session. The music has been intentionally left unmastered while kept at comparable loudness to the rest of the label’s catalogue, reflecting aNoise’s preference for immediacy and detail over heavy post‑processing.
The preorder opens shortly before the premier performance on December 8th at Petersburg Art Space (PAS Berlin).
