about

Travis Yu (b. 2001) is a sound artist, singer-songwriter and music producer based in London.

Graduated from HKICC Lee Shau Kee School of Creativity in 2019 and subsequently from London College of Communication in 2023, they work with sound, video, performance, writing, and found objects to discuss topics such as situational listening, relationalities and habits of the bodies within social, historical and political frameworks.

"History is but a Sullen Memorabilia" (2022-2023) is a body of work that aims to establish a variety of vocabularies on how sound can be embodied and experienced through different approaches to acoustic gestures. It includes the performance "Nobody Knows," the radio opera "Swan Song Pt. 1", a residency on Resonance Extra and "Four Concrete Walls," a field project comprising a book, field recordings, and a sound walk as part of In the Field 2 hosted by CRiSAP at UAL.

As a singer-songwriter, they explore composition and music production as means to construct fictive architectural/acoustic spaces through memory and aural history. In 2024, they released two LPs, "In the Vastness of Landscape, Whatever Matters" and "illuminance". The former an alternative singer-songwriter album, and the latter a collection of experimental compositions. They have performed in venues such as the Southbank Centre, the Roundhouse (as part of Longplayer Live), The Old Church Stoke Newington, Windmill Brixton, Iklectik, Spanners Club, and many more.

Currently, they are exploring new possibilities and meanings in being an artist, devising a new routine to accommodate the many challenges of art-making today. They are also part of an interdisciplinary project 'MUON' with sound artist and musician Miles Lukoszevieze, exploring the intersection between movement and sound in live performance contexts.
