There are at least two bands named Hati: 1. Polish musical project based on acoustic instrument sounding.
The instruments they use are acoustic, namely traditional (ethnic) acoustic instruments and hand-made instruments or objects not necessarily meant for creating music, which produce interesting sounds. The instruments are made of metal, wood, leather and stone. They also use electronic equipment. The keywords are: trance, rhythm and sound. Website: http://www.hati.info 2.

Named after the legendary Dr Who episode from the 1975, this band has been created to push music to its limits. Crushing doom, blastbeats, harsh electronics/vocals and a beautiful prog feel combine to push boundaries a little further in extremity. Noise artist Stuntcock had been looking for some extreme musicians to accompany his electronic racket, calling on his old cohort Seddon, and two travelling Sontarans, Rooster and Si.
Mark McGuire is a 22 year-old ambient/minimalist artist from Cleveland, OH. He manly plays guitar and is a member of the band Emeralds.
Montreal producer Tim Hecker made his initial breakthrough as Jetone, but followed with some incredible ambient work attributed to his born name. This experimental ambient work, released by Alien8 sublabel Substractif beginning in late 2001 with Haunt Me Haunt Me, Do It Again, won much acclaim. It also familiarised listeners with the producer himself, and not just because it featured his real name rather than a moniker: Hecker's self-titled work was much more personal than his Jetone recordings...
