UOCHI TOKI
https://uochitoki.bandcamp.com

UOCHI TOKI is an ancient golem molded by electronic obscure beats and samples, animated by a poltergeist of multilayered words at the edge of italian language.The golem slowly moves and slowly shift shape so, after years spent on italian soil, it become able to reach other lands and other spaces.An italian exp esp noise doom spoken word rap project that run fast as low frequencies do in the ground and move slow as a tree growing in the shadow of a forest. A sound that follows clouds, not waves, bringing the language of feelings without the mediation of the international english.
