HEXA is an experimental collaboration between Australian composer
Lawrence English and
Xiu Xiu leader Jamie Stewart. The two first met in 2009, and they kept in touch over the years, exchanging ideas and sporadically meeting up in person. They first performed as
HEXA in 2015, creating dark, atmospheric soundscapes for Between Two Worlds, an exhibition of
David Lynch's artwork that took place at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane, Australia. A limited cassette was issued on
English's
Room40 label after the exhibition wrapped up. The following year,
Room40 released
HEXA's
Factory Photographs LP, and the Gallery of Modern Art scheduled an additional presentation of the duo's music and
Lynch's photography for 2017. ~ Paul Simpson
