Spearheading the Curated by Resident series on May 10 at the eminent resident of Bassiani and longest-standing journeyman since its foundation, Gigi Jikia, known as HVL, an enigmatic producer and sonic storyteller weaving tales with depths of melancholy through various aliases such as Kiaji, and Kiyadama. Jikia’s musical odyssey began in the mid-2000s with indie rock band Landmark and electronic music duo Okinawa Lifestyle, which saw the release of five albums. His solo career took off in 2013 with the well-received Deep Survey EP on Rough House Rosie, followed by Flats on Voyager. In 2017, Jikia, alongside Davit Datunashvili and Irakli Abramishvili, founded the ambient-electronic project Masterknot, releasing their debut album, 9–15. Notable records include the critically acclaimed albums Ostati in 2018 and Rhythmic Sonata in 2019, the latter inspired by the soundscape of the underground world of Dinamo Stadium. Jikia’s extensive discography showcases his diverse musical range, unique artistic signature and musical philosophy, which have profoundly impacted labels such as Bassiani Records, Transfigured Time, Organic Analogue Records, and Housewax. Independently releasing albums “Alignment,” “Aura Fossil,” “Vessel,” “Resolve,” “Lightsail,” and “Dialogue” between 2020 and 2023, HVL demonstrates not only versatility but also a steadfast dedication to his craft.
