Hprizm: Sound of the City

Submitted by gjd2122 on Fri, 4 Apr 2025, 9:37pm

Rooted in the creative subcultures of the Lower East Side, Hprizm’s practice spans a wide array of genres, including music, performance and multimedia installations. His current installation at Pioneer Works in Red Hook is exemplary of this very characterization.

Centered on a sonic score that moves between abstract noise and melodic interludes, Sound of the City collapses vinyl records, tape loops and granular synthesis with audio footage captured by Hprizm over the past few years.

DJs Georgia Dillane and Ben Erdmann sat down with Hprizm to talk about his relationship to the city, his practice, his collaborators, and the synthesis of his current installation at Pioneer Works, all while walking us through some required listening hand selected from the WKCR library.
