Hiro Kone – Past Concerts

Hiro Kone is the project of Nicky Mao, a New York based musician and producer; she uses a
combination of hardware, synths, and modular to cultivate her sound - a visceral meditation on
rhythm, noise, and melody that has seen her release on leading experimental labels including
DAIS Records and BANK Records. No stranger to manipulating macabre disorientations into
enchanting new shapes, her music exposes the unsettling and sublime. Taking a deconstructive
approach she is known to draw upon a combination of modular synthesis, noise and field
recordings.

Instinctively responding to the precariousness of humanity, Kone’s cascades of twisted field
recordings find an inherent partner in the effervescent current of synthesis and, in the process,
forge new terrains.
