Yan Higa

À propos

Dissolving genres and embodying the percussive nature of Brazilian music, Yan Higa’s miscellaneous sound is dense and emotive. Introspective vocal lines unfold in a velvet melancholy while evoking contagious energy. The compositions merge with the meta-disciplinary artist’s acquired notions of craftsmanship (sculpting, scenography, installation) and languages from visual world-building to monologues so that each track can intimately approach contemporary visions of sound design, rhythmics, and ambiance – layered textures, synesthesia soundscapes, and asymmetric beats. As <a href="spotify:artist:0y5SYtCZ2OH0SpyGhKN9QD" data-name="Yvu">Yvu</a> the artist goes deeper into more extreme, relentless, and procedural ways of music making.
 “Growing up in the intense east side of a miscegenated capital such as São Paulo meant bursting a thick reality bubble to uncover individual self-image and identity apart from the stereotyped vision the world has on Latin America&#39;s culture, research language, and emotional spectrum.” Yan Higa is the founder and director of Acta Collective and Acta Recordings.
