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 Yvu 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's culture, research language, and emotional spectrum.” Yan Higa is the founder and director of Acta Collective and Acta Recordings.
