Yuko Araki

Yuko Araki is a Japanese sound artist whose electronic work combines extreme noise with composed structures. The London show takes place at The Horse Hospital, a venue hosting concerts and shows in the city.

Japanese sound artist Yuko Araki builds music that places extreme noise within composed structures. Over a decade of performances across Asia, Europe and Canada, the project has developed a practice based on forcing precise digital sound designs through unpredictable modular systems, then deconstructing and rebuilding the results into piercing metallic textures.

The sixth album in the numbered series, V (American Dreams, 2027), is presented as the point where this approach reaches its sharpest form. The material moves between dance music and what is termed danger music, and the live work is described as intense and physical, with intentional audiovisual collaborations. Earlier appearances include Cafe OTO in London, MUTEK in Tokyo, Shipwreck in Toronto, Alice in Copenhagen and the Jogja Noise Bombing Festival in Yogyakarta.

The Horse Hospital hosts concerts and shows in London, and this evening is presented by Baba Yaga's Hut, a promoter whose listings sit within the city's experimental electronic scene. The event suits listeners interested in noise-based electronic music and audiovisual performance.
