Kezia Yap
Kezia Yap’s creations are an exploration of timbre and space, secret whispers between sound and silence, facilitating conversations between organic & manufactured sonic materials.
In a time of constant aural bombardment, it is refreshing to be forced to pay attention to the greater environment, to acknowledge the musicality within the absence of music.
