“An elemental tale of transition in the meta-reality”

Sylum is the first act of a narrative told by Yan Higa’s introspective point of view, facing an adapting process of their being. During social distancing, creative productions were marked by the distorted perception of time and a chronology contextualized by the crisis on human relationships.
Matter is ruled by the macro chaos and the micro organizations, so is the content of the EP. The narrative defines itself generative, with fragments of the work materializing before, during and after the birth of it’s main body. Sylum’s core is complemented by other fragments in different media which orbit it in time and space – sound, visual, craft, performance and poetry that not necessarily integrate the EP tracks, but are contextualized in the complexity of the work. Landscape and soundscape, virtual and physical.
The cover artwork, posters and promos were made in collaboration with Japanese sculptor Tatsuya Horimoto, under reflective conversations on transcending the human form, the anthropomorphic animal figure and self identifying traits of a feral personality and body.
