Elvin Brandhi
The improvising lyricist, producer and sound artist from Bridgend, Wales, builds aberrant beats from field recordings, tape, vinyl, instrument and voice.
Using sound and voice as an expansive language transgressing intrinsic systemics and inherited syntactical etiquettes, her live shows are unyielding bursts of erupting animation where her caustic stream of consciousness cavorts with restless, glitched-out heaviness. Her creative momentum comprises a range of collaborations and an endless nomadism.
Her first EP Shelf Life was released on C.A.N.V.A.S in 2018, and her forthcoming album will come via Hakuna Kulala. She is one half of the father/daughter noise-improv berserkers Yeah You, who released on Alter, Slip, Opal, Psychik Dancehall, and Good Food. She also performs in collaborations such as the Avril Spleen project with Joseph Jadam (maltash), Bahk with Daniel Blumberg (MUTE), and a recent collaboration with Ziúr – with whom she did a residency at Inkonst.
