The esoteric noise duo HEXA, composed of Xiu Xiu’s Jamie Stewart and sonic provocateur Lawrence English, explored the physicality of sound, drawing inspiration from exotic birds and the decaying charms of post-industrial landscapes. Their work, known for cascading low-frequency pulses and cavernous sonic spaces, gained acclaim for its physical and immersive qualities. HEXA initially created 'Factory Photographs' as a commissioned soundtrack for filmmaker David Lynch’s photography.

Legendary noise artist Merzbow, renowned for his prolific output and extreme experiments, joined forces with HEXA for the collaborative album 'Achromatic'. This partnership merged Merzbow’s ontological noise with HEXA’s brutalist sonics, creating a unique interplay of severe frequencies and brutal pulsations. Each side of the album was produced and mixed by the other, crafting a reverse exquisite corpse and an evocative commentary on modern decay.
