Hyunhye (Angela) Seo

Booking Agent : Federico Zanatta & Marco Portello

Hyunhye (Angela) Seo is an artist exploring experimental composition and expression of sound, creating deep turbulent soundscapes through ecstatic piano improvisations, dynamic percussion, and cavernous acoustic treatments. Her live performances are uncompromising in its open and immediate exploration of sounds, pulling from experimental noise, modern classical, avant-garde jazz, and ambient territories.
She has also been writing, recording, producing and performing dozens of works for over a decade as an active member of the musical group Xiu Xiu, which has gained international recognition for experimental and avant-garde musical composition and performances, including in numerous collaborations with other musical and visual artists.
In 2021, Hyunhye released her solo album, Strands, which expands into the genres of experimental modern classical and improvisational music. In Strands, she explores abstract soundscapes built with processed percussion, improvisational piano, and dark ambient material. Her 2023 release, EEL, builds on the foundations of piano and percussion, and explores sounds using both traditional and found instruments, such as gongs, sheet metal, found wood, and marble.
In December 2025 Ubi KU imprint will release “Continuation” a cascading piano improvisation by Hyunhye Seo – processed in real time by Jamie Stewart and later mixed by Giuseppe Ielasi -recorded live at MAO – Museo d’Arte Orientale in Turin, Italy. On side B Phew – a pioneering figure in Japanese avant‑garde music since the late 1970s – reinterprets Seo’s work.

Hyunhye Seo has performed in collaboration with various artists spanning the visual and performance world, including with Danh Vo (“Metal” at The Kitchen, and “Deforms the Unborn” at the Guggenheim NYC), and the Berlin-based Cheap Collective (featuring Vaginal Davis, Susanne Sachsse, Marc Siegel).
