joyo ann engages in experimental hip hop layers filled with soft lyrics and algorithmic body language.
joyo ann (they/them) is an experimental composer, lyricist and dancer from zurich. ranging from electroacoustic noise to deconstructed rap.
growing up in europe's breaking scene, hip hop culture has always had a big influence on joyo's life.
after playing in various post rock bands in their teens, discovering their love for sound synthesis, joyo started focusing on finding a personal artistic language between electroacoustic drone and rap, between glitch and art pop. In January 2023 they released their first radically soft, solo EP titled "Ctrl me".
next to their solo project, they're playing modular synth and piano in zurich's most cute noise duo "beamtin" with cellist "celestine vieli".
joyo ann is currently studying electro-acoustic composition and piano at zhdk.
"this project is the current state of a process between studies with sound synthesis and the searching for gender euphoric lyrical sentences. The pictures of being submissive and hella cute.
Unsatisfactory interactions with sound and desperately redefining identity in loops
after reading like 1 kafka book. The music sounds like mmmhhhh pchhhh tschuuuuu etc. "
