HEY YOU! HIRONS
We had a chat with Britsh/American multidisciplinary artist Hirons about the release of her new EP ‘Future Perfect’
Hey Hirons, how are you and how are you feeling about releasing Future Perfect to the world?
It’s a wonderful feeling to finally release Future Perfect into the world. I’m very proud of this record. Releasing music feels like an unusually explicit way to bridge one’s inner world with the outer – it’s a real moment of connection.
'Future Perfect' is a great title for an EP - tell us a bit about what this means to you?
Future Perfect is a linguistic term referring to actions that will be completed. At times, the dream of completing and releasing this record felt improbable, but the hope of doing so carried me forward. It was also the name of my dad’s business in the 90s.
As a multidisciplinary creative, is is tough deciding which ideas to keep for yourself musically? Are any of your non-musical pieces related to themes on 'Future Perfect?'
I do occasionally like to keep visual ideas for personal use. However, a project tends to reveal what it needs in the process. I might have a specific treatment in mind, but the right opportunity doesn’t necessarily present itself – at least not in the way I initially imagine.
What's next for Hirons, and where can people follow you?
I think there’s more to explore in the experiential pop realm. That said, my personal piano improvisations are quite different and I’d like to somehow bring it all together. I share updates on my Instagram account @hirons___
A main theme through the EP is looking back at childhood/revisiting a more juvenile time. What's your first memory of being inspired by a song or artist?
One of my first memories of being truly overcome by joy upon hearing a piece of music was Big Girls Don’t Cry, by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. I remember ecstatically bouncing around the living room and singing out the choruses, whilst my mum looked on with a big smile.
