S'yo Fang Group


"Vangt en bevrijdt emoties in geluiden en poëzie” De Volkskrant 
​"Captures and liberates the emotions in the sounds and the poetry.”


​ 
​
  Embracing the passion of contemporary poetry, by stretching the boundaries of musical genres into a sensible avant-garde, S’yo is set on delivering a new highly personal project that profoundly and subtly communicates with listener's emotions. It musicalizes contemporary poetry and creates a sonic texture through spoken word, multi-language, free improvisation, or an entirely composed paragraph. ​

《I Prefer》

Album Release (Book+CD) - Zennez Records (NL)
​

 The CD “I Prefer” is accompanied by a visual poetry collection titled “In Between the Whispers” which contains poetry by Chou Meng-tieh and is visualized by the compositional concepts. S’yo defines this artwork as “Musicscape”.
