Ambitious, beautiful and inspirational, LYM performance opens the way to a new approach for live digital graphics where the graphic artist can combine imaginative graphical expression with instrumental music performance. Lola Ajima's soundscapes build on urban or industrial sounds and transform them into calm and intimate sound layers. Her cello/bass strokes sculpt melodies and sounds about birth, loss, fear, tenderness, and sadness. The emotive graphics of Yukao Nagemi reflect a world of fantasies, dreams, and inner visions. Enhanced by particles and generative effects, they reach a level of abstraction that opens to the onlooker's own imaginary. Lola and Yukao Meet's artworks build a world of symbols and fantasies. The intricate association of soundscapes, music, graphics, and digital effects carries the audience through initiative journeys with references to human myths and dystopian artifacts of our contemporary lives.

Zunächst als Malerin aktiv, beendete sie ihr Studium als Klangkünstlerin und Musikerin. Am wichtigsten für ihren künstlerischen Werdegang war ihr Weg von skulpturalen zu klang-skulpturale Arbeiten, die sie zur Liebe für manipulierte Feldaufnahmen, Audiofragmente, Synthesizersequenzen und Radiowellen führte. Als DJ (Nikae) betreibt sie auch zwei reguläre Nächte im Hamburger Golden Pudel Club (Next Time & Noctuidae) und gibt ihre Musik auf ihrem eigenen Label Noctui heraus. http://www.nikabreithaupt.de/sound/nika-son/
