Radio Hito : Rewire Festival + spring tour 2025
Radio Hito’s songs, which one might call minimalist if the term weren’t so overused, are imageless poems made of shifting repetitions and gentle gestures. The emotion they evoke is all the more persistent for emerging subtly. 08/03/25 • Thessaloniki (GR) • Transcendance Art Space, w/ Bégayer 14/03/25 • Athens (GR) • KET 26/03/25 • Milano

Radio Hito : tournée 2023

New signature : Radio Hito!
We are proud to announce the brand new collaboration with the intriguing Radio Hito project led by Zen My Nguyen, an astonishing marquetry of electronic tremors, minimal pianos and poems in Italian sung in a low voice, inventing a form of song with new perspectives between abrupt romanticism, minimalism and distorted pop. Radio Hito is the
BIO
Days and nights, living in the clarity of mind and voice: Radio Hito’s compositions get stripped down to the bare elements while still retaining the solemn power of truth. The words of others gain meaning of their own through a contemplatively personal rendition whose simplicity manages to brim with endless poetic possibility. (GGR)
With Radio Hito, Zen My Nguyen has spent the last two years adapting a poem by Claude Royet-Journoud, « L’usage et les attributs du cœur » (POL, 2021). A ten-sequences song cycle for soundfonts and voice and an Italian libretto which had evolved over the course of about 80 concerts, from Galicia to Kazakhstan, before finding their recorded form. Her project is experiential and based on principles of economy of performance, simple words, forms and contexts; if poetry is a ‘profession of ignorance’ according to Claude Royet-Journoud, then Radio Hito would gladly be a hobby that strives to know.
DOn stage, the project was adapted for prepared piano, electric keyboard, fm radios, church organs, Philicorda and visuals in Europe and Asia featuring on special occasions: Suzan Peeters (Accordion), Alex Andropoulos [able noise] (Drums), Arthur Chambry (Percussions/trumpet), David Bennewith and Omar Cheikh (Visuals), Fera (electronics), Adrián de Alfonso (FM amplification), Lieven Dousselaere (Sound).
‘L’uso e gli attributi del cuore‘, a song cycle is forthcoming on March 2026 on Maple Death Records & Meakusma.
