Tiny Moving Particles

About Me

YiRa started making noise in 2006. Born in Singapore living in Germany, YiRa was reborn in Helsinki. YiRa started banging on the piano at age 6, then to banging his head to the heavy guitar and upon listening the glorious Eno shaved his head. He graduated from Film school, with a deep interest in Sound Design and recording arts. Arriving at the shores of Deutschland, a sudden strike of lightning, caught his eye and he began the road of poverty and freedom to making moving elements for the black box.

YiRa works under various moniker as SonoiXe, Trug, Apostrophe and with groups Untamala and Oktapi. The Music is mainly experimental/soundart, with the usage of midi instruments, drummachine, computer, microphones, noise, field recordings, personalize softwares and hardwares, all these constellate to the sound of YiRa.

YiRa would be glad to get to know more noise makers out there, whether it's just staring blank at the screen and caressing with the finger or tweaking insane boxes on stage or at home, drop me a line and hook up!
