Hyunhye Angela Seo is an artist exploring experimental composition and sound, creating deep turbulent soundscapes through ecstatic piano improvisations, dynamic percussion, and cavernous acoustic treatments. Her live performances are uncompromising in their open and immediate exploration of sounds, pulling from experimental noise, modern classical, avant-garde jazz, and ambient territories.

She has also been writing, recording, producing, and performing dozens of works for over a decade as an active member of the musical group Xiu Xiu. From 2013-2020 she founded and operated the Los Angelitos Pie Institute Cafe.

On Friday, February 27th and Saturday, February 28th Hyunhye will be joined by collaborator freddie Murphy. His breath-driven vocals expand the session’s emotional and sonic range, bringing contrasting forms of lamentation into dialogue with Seo’s piano.

freddie Murphy is a Torino-based sound artist and curator whose sonic research moves from cathartic expressions of Catholic guilt toward intimate investigations of grief, loss, and acceptance — most recently in “The Night Shows No Dawn,” a performance exploring funeral laments that has been presented at ICA London, Avant Art Festival Warsaw, and BRDCST Festival Brussels.
