My name is Artem Nazarenko, but in this music project, I am “HIXTO”(NOBODY). Why is the project called HIXTO(NOBODY)? Because in this project, my task is to focus the listener on the music, not the personality. After all, the music of the album “ШТУРМ”(ASSAULT) is inspired by Ukrainian warriors and created for them
New times set a new rhythm, and this is the rhythm of war. All tracks are written at 142 bpm . A person gets a pulse of 142 beats when he or she is on the verge of physical and psychological capabilities.
When I imagine an assault, I see a warrior, concentrated, with character, honor and will, running under artillery fire, mine explosions and enemy bullets.
Each track is a combination of the living and the lifeless in music. The first is beatboxing. This is the driving force, the groove of these pieces. It is always individual, maybe a little rough, with improvisation, with its own character, like a living person. Secondly, the synthesizers are very voluminous, aggressive, powerful, they always play clearly and take up the maximum frequency spectrum. The synthesis of these two elements creates that sound image of an ШТУРМУ(assault)
The album consists of 6 tracks. Each of the tracks is dedicated to a separate combat unit.
23 years music expirience. I started with the bandura, then got interested in rhythmic music and beatboxing, and became the first Ukrainian beatboxing champion in 2012. Worked in clubs in China for 8 years, returned to Ukraine in 2020, and became the technical director of a Kyiv recording studio. In 2022, he created and taught music programs for young people as part of a UNICEF project.
