Soo-Hoo similarly inhabits a surreal space between the artificial and natural worlds, a liminal zone where the fabricated blends with the fluid and music is a river, flowing of its own accord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soo-Hoo&#8217;s newest release is concerned with the confluence of human artifice and the infinitude of nature. For example, Indoor Plant Life approximates the swishing of a houseplant next to an open window, a symbol of a year spent shut inside. Of the album&#8217;s creation, Soo-Hoo says: &#8220;<em>Inspired by quarantine life, I resonated with my indoor plants.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soo-Hoo splits his time between working at dublab, L.A.&#8217;s freeform radio station, and co-hosting Contact Wave, the station&#8217;s resident ambient and experimental music program. He has previously released music on Inner Islands, Atlantic Rhythms, Doom Trip, Geographic North, Never Content, and Pyramid Blood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Ambient Artist\u00a0Ki Oni\u00a0has announced the first of two new releasesvia\u00a0sound as language. \u2018Indoor Plant Life\u2019 was released\u00a0out one week early for Name Your Price on <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=35870\" title=\"Ki Oni announces two new releases via sound as language\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":35871,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[13,22,23,28,30],"tags":[79,9881,9882,9880,9883,9884],"class_list":["post-35870","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-electronic-music","category-guitar-rock","category-indie","category-music","category-new-release","tag-ambient","tag-chuck-soo-hoo","tag-indoor-plant-life","tag-ki-oni","tag-plant-life-i","tag-plant-life-ii"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/0D102712-896A-4CC8-8A08-DB517A418B20.jpeg?fit=1200%2C800&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-9ky","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":36020,"url":"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=36020","url_meta":{"origin":35870,"position":0},"title":"Ki Oni announces 2nd new release on sound as language","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"March 26, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"Ambient artist\u00a0Ki Oni has announced his second new release via\u00a0sound as language.
