Formed in 1997 after Hill and Brunson met while producing visuals at the Channel Five launch party, they decided to take over for the original members of the Ninja Tune multimedia collective Hex that had disbanded around the same time. They soon collaborated with Coldcut for the Natural Rhythms Trilogy, including the critically acclaimed A/V single Timber.
Much of their music involves integrated visual experiences, and both of their main album releases have been CD and DVD combinations; the latest, Master-View, includes 3D "anaglyph" versions of some of their music videos and comes packaged with 3D glasses. Hexstatic has also been instrumental in designing VJ equipment, including the Pioneer DVJ-X1 professional DVD player.
Other artists they have worked with include EBN, Juice Aleem and David Byrne of the Talking Heads.

Perfect Bird
Hexstatic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ushiro de kotori naiteru, tomoatteyukou ka
Amefuri omoi hi, saikin ureshikute
Ushiro de kotori naiteru, tomatteyukou ka
Kotoba de ienai, omette sugosu
Ushiro de kotori naiteru, tomatteyukou ka
The lyrics to Hexstatic's song Perfect Bird are in Japanese and can be translated to:
"Discovering it by chance, three promises
A bird is crying behind, shall we stop and wait?
Thinking of the rain, recently happy
A bird is crying behind, shall we stop and wait?
Spending time without being able to say it in words
A bird is crying behind, shall we stop and wait?"
The song's meaning is cryptic and open to interpretation. It's possible that the three promises refer to three significant moments in the singer's life. The bird crying behind them could symbolize a feeling of loss or nostalgia. The rain and the happiness could be referencing the passage of time and the singer's ability to reflect on their life. Spending time without being able to say it in words could be describing an emotional disconnect from someone or something important in their life.
Overall, the lyrics to Perfect Bird are mysterious and require further analysis to fully interpret.

Choose and find
Three promises
The bird sings behind
Will we stay the night?
Rainy day
I am happy recently
The bird sings behind
We will stay
I can not say in words
Conduct thinking
The bird sings behind
We will stay
aaaaAAAAAAAA!!!!!
@user-sd9fs2xz5r
This is a possible and rather poor translation aesthetically speaking but the meaning is there:
Choose and be found
Third promise
The little bird is singing behind
Shall we stay ?
The day when I think it’s raining
Recently I am happy,
The little bird is singing behind
Shall we stay ?
Ineffable
Spent thinking
The little bird is singing behind
Shall we stay ?
