Rooted in his concept of \u003cem\u003esonic restitution\u003c\/em\u003e, the record explores the relationship between sound, cultural memory and colonial history through a series of deeply expressive, improvised compositions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe project began in October 2023, when Hoyt was granted access to a selection of African instruments held at London's British Museum. Working without written scores, he responded instinctively to their textures and resonances, capturing the voices of thumb pianos, talking drums, trumpets, whistles, flutes and percussion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBack in the studio, these recordings were expanded with synthesizers, electric flute, glockenspiel and further African and Western instrumentation. The result is \u003cstrong\u003eUn-Muting Beyond Misspelt Borders\u003c\/strong\u003e, originally commissioned by Nottingham Contemporary and presented here as ten interconnected movements spanning experimental electronics, African percussion and free improvisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThought-provoking without losing its physical, rhythmic pull, \u003cstrong\u003eUn-Muting\u003c\/strong\u003e is an extraordinary meeting of ancestral sound and contemporary experimentation. A record about memory, resistance and the power of listening differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased on Traza as a limited-edition black 10-inch vinyl, housed in a reverse-board sleeve with exclusive liner notes by Tavia Nyong'o.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklisting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tracklist\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"track\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1.
