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.
Listen to some music by Yellowhead:
