IXNA

IXNA has been played on NTS in shows including Séance Centre, featured first on 22 August 2018. Songs played include Ridi Ridi & I Remember Now.

IXNA is the name of Jay Cloidt and Marina LaPalma's "imaginary band" who formed at Mills College while studying under David Behrman and Robert Ashley in 1978. Mills College is known for an irreverent approach to composition which has generated some amazing records, evidenced most strongly in playful classics by Behrman and Ashley.

It's not hard to hear how that influence and prism-opening aesthetic has informed Knotpop, whose confection of Marina's skillfully pert and dippy vocals with Cloidt's bubbling basslines, perpendicular FX and off-centre rhythms lend themselves to comparison with other, effortlessly envelope-pushing highlights of that era, from Anna Homler to General Strike and the rotating Eno/Bryne/Hassell axis, thru the hypnotic grooves of Leven Signs or Holger Czukay, and the minimalist tics of impLOG and Ike Yard, not to mention the work of their peers and tutors at Mills.
