Cherif Hashizume: Experimental electronic music at St James's Church Piccadilly

Electronic artist, producer and innovator Cherif Hashizume has been the lead engineer and co-conspirator to critically acclaimed producer and artist Jon Hopkins for the last decade, including recording and mixing Hopkins' Grammy-nominated album Singularity.

Rarely treading the path of least resistance, Cherif's composition and production work has taken him into the realms of AI, interactive installations and VR, to create completely original works both in sound and in process.

Cherif has learnt from electronic music's most revered protagonists, working with some of the most innovative artists of all time including Bjork, David Byrne, Brian Eno, King Creosote, Kelly Lee Owens and more.
Between 2020-21, Hashizume co-mixed Jon Hopkins' latest album, the acclaimed Music for Psychedelic Therapy which led him to explore and experiment with the tonal and textural side of electronic music, away from his usual intense and complex rhythm oriented style.

His live performances are often improvised. Cherif uses a combination of self-developed music performance software and hardware modular synthesizer systems, allowing him to create complex textures, rhythms, melodies and harmonies in response to space and context.
