When you step into a space, it can become a vivid experience and memory. Saskia is strongly attracted to this phenomenon and is convinced that music makes it possible to realise it in a more deep state.

 

Saskia, real name Saki Yamada, who explores sound in a variety of ways including live performances, installations and DJing, sublimates her musical expression into a spatial one because of her love to art that is felt with the full body. 

 

Now based in the UK, she continues to create works that move between ambient and rhythmically experimental sound. She released her first self-released EP ‘Depth’ in December 2023, and her first LP ‘es’ from Accidental Meeting in February 2024. ‘es’ explores the theme of “something invisible yet undeniably present”, a reflection on vitality and the ways existence can be revealed through observation. Combining experimental structures with a sense of narrative, the album offers open-ended interpretations for the listener. 

​

Her ambient pieces - rooted in surrounding landscapes, environmental sounds, and shifting daily emotions - and her dance-oriented tracks, shaped through the lens of industrial techno and electronica, are filled with playful and unpredictable ideas. With the concept of “Sound to _____ this magnificent cell” at her core, Saskia lands momentarily, floating, before setting off on yet another adventure.
