Sonically and physically rooted in an axis that binds Tokyo and Bristol together, Saskia explores the circulating energies and shared history between both cities to propel her musical explorations. Her intricate rhythmic works, penchant for unorthodox tones, and organic textures contribute to crafting the rich and personal psychedelic palette of her new EP, 'Depth.'
Recorded in a friend’s studio during the summer of 2023, 'Secret Session' draws inspiration from the sensory stimulation derived from Bristol’s dub culture, intertwining with broken beats and techno to forge an entirely new musical realm. On the flip side, 'Twelve' presents sharp and hypnotic rhythms: its off-kilter bassline finds equilibrium amid layers of shimmering noises, unlocking gateways to unexplored dimensions.
Saskia’s profoundly immersive approach to performance and composition unfolds as each track progresses, evolving into a lifeform of its own. In constant motion, they deepen, gradually brimming with energy and emotion, unfolding as a vibrant sonic narrative.
