Ninajirachi (aka Nina Wilson) previously told this scribe that she relishes scavenging for offcuts and imperfect textures within audio junk.
A true innovator, she creates music for right this minute.
The girl EDM creator dedicates I Love My Computer to her instrument/musical collaborator of choice, which ensures she’s “always at the desk in the dark”.
Wilson’s gone so far as to say, “I spend more time with [my computer] than any one person and I don’t know who I would be without it.”

“Anything is possible with fingers, eyes, a mouse and a screen” – Ninajirachi outlines her creative process during the opening salvo, London Song. This standout track’s sneaky, wonky intro intrigues (“I’ve never been to London/ But I’d go with you”).
That bass-boosted drop, though! It’s badass (think: Charly by The Prodigy), but oh-so accessible thanks to a tuneful, Madonna-esque vocal hook.
Fuck My Computer – which sonically recreates a robot orgy – totally goes there: “I wanna fuck/ My computer/ ‘Cause no one in the world knows me better.”
Closing out with chiming bells and stardust sounds, CSIRAC (an ode to Australia’s first digital computer) is dark, chipmunk techno.
The keys-driven Infohazard, with its angelbot vocals (“In a dream/ On my screen…”), recalls a loss of innocence: while netsurfing, Baby Nina stumbled upon a snuff film she could never unsee.
“It sounds like high school front gate smoke in my face/ It sounds like dyed frayed high waist bought at Supré…” – Ninajirachi’s engrossing worldbuilding utilises words as well as crunchy, layered soundscapes.
Ninajirachi’s sophisticated sonic identity is augmented by endearing, cartoonish charm. Her international crossover potential is undeniable.
