Piano driven minimalist avant-garde pop splendor
Radio Hito is the melancholic melody-driven project of Brussels-based composer, writer and artist Y.-My Zen Nguyen. Her output is the result of an investigation into methods of building narratives in structures of pop melodies. Her texts - mostly in Italian - are either her own or by poets whose works resonate with her. Her sparse and minimal piano/keyboard set-up gives space to the most compelling element of her music, her voice, which softly but surely conveys the interwoven poems.
A tape of live recordings from the Musa Ullakolla festival was released on KRAAK in 2021 and her debut appeared on the Midi Fish label.
