Psychic Hotline: Ichiko Aoba
Ichiko Aoba at Brooklyn’s Kings Theater performing with Wordless Music Quintet, photgraphed for Psychic Hotline Records.
Founded by Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn of Sylvan Esso, Psychic Hotline is an artist-run recording company based in Durham, NC. Connecting through an industry referral, they recently brought Experienced Visuals on to photograph signee Ichiko Aoba, a Japanese singer, songwriter, composer, and multi-instrumentalist currently touring on her newest release, Luminescent Creatures.
Experienced Visuals headed to Brooklyn's historic Kings Theatre to provide visual documentation and engaging, authentic social content through an intimate promotional session as well as capturing the live performance.
For parts of this project Ichiko requested to be shot on film, seeking content that reflected the unique aesthetics of her artist styling.
Kings Theatre's rich history and opulent interiors provided the perfect stage to Aoba's esoteric, ethereal sounds, almost taking on a life of its own as a character in the visual narrative we sought to articulate.
