The main idea behind the Yellowhead’s works is the game in a general sense. An entertainment, a process with no pretension for revelation, a pure joy from sounds, pixels and symbols. Yes, this music is not always easy-going, but it is arrogance-free and clear of high-browed concepts.
Yellowhead says that his audience consists of people who love to dance and zeugma. He prefers to play at museums, cinema theatres and rarely.
