The article discusses how goat (jp), led by Koshiro Hino, draws inspiration from Karlheinz Stockhausen's electronic music concepts, particularly unity in sound modulation. The band creatively uses guitar, saxophone, and bass as percussion, transforming human fallibility into a compelling musical narrative. Their collaboration with choreographer Cindy Van Acker led to the album "Without References," which explores the interaction of performance and mediated perception. Hino's new compositional technique incorporates influences from Indonesian gamelan and Korean kkwaenggwari, presenting an evolution from their earlier work, marked by nuanced textures and patient exploration of rhythm.
In Kontakte, Stockhausen illustrates the interplay of rhythm, timbre, and pitch through electronic means, establishing the idea of unity in electronic music.
Koshiro Hino flips Stockhausen's concepts by using traditional instruments as percussion, emphasizing human error over machine precision just as Van Acker explores mediated perception.
The band's 2023 record reflects a significant shift in sound, marked by explorations into Indonesian gamelan and Korean kkwaenggwari after the departure of their original drummer.
