Elvin Brandhi

Elvin Brandhi is an improvisational lyricist, producer, and sound artist from Bridgend, Wales, who creates aberrant rhythms from field recordings, magnetic tapes, vinyl records, instruments, and voices. Using sound and voice as an expansive language that transcends intrinsic systems and inherited syntactic labels, her concerts are unyielding bursts of eruptive animation where her caustic stream of consciousness gallops with a restless, glitchy heaviness. Her debut EP, Shelf Life, was released on C.A.N.V.A.S in 2018. She is one half of the father/daughter noise-improv berserkers Yeah You, who have released on Alter, Slip, Opal, Psychik Dancehall, and Good Food. She also participates in collaborations such as the Avril Spleen project with Joseph Jadame (maltash), Bahk with Daniel Blumberg (MUTE), and contributions to Drew Mcdowall’s agalma, to name a few.
