We had a quick chat over the phone with Chris Hermida, the mastermind behind Origami, who told us that this weekend's party “is a project that I had in the back of my mind for a long time, and seeing it now come to life feels like a dream." Hermida will also be celebrating a birthday on Saturday, and it will mark Origami's first-ever live performance. "I want this party to be like traveling in time, something very original — a memorable time.” Origami will be debuting a new single called “Slice" on Saturday as well, featuring fellow musician VOiS.
For Hermida, Origami is a project that has been in the making for over two years. Every detail, right down to the name, has been carefully thought out. “People assume many things because I’m transexual, but I feel that with origamis you can turn the same piece of paper into many different shapes and still be the same.”
