Fact Mix 798: Elvin Brandhi
A “sonic mythology of confiscated acquaintances” from the Bridgend musician and sound designer.
Listening to Elvin Brandhi’s music can be a chaotic, overwhelming experience. The Welsh artist works with field recordings and voice alongside tools such as Ableton Live and Auto-Tune to create a “mutant paste” that sit at the boundaries of noise, sound design and club music.
“I am really drawn to certain frequencies, it’s often a search of matching the waves of my nervous state, tuning sound to my psyche rather than exerting an aesthetic ideal,” Brandhi says. “The Ableton void is like a self-hypnotisation process. I love the fullness and physicality of sounds embodied on record and tape and the scope it leaves for manipulation.”
