    redpicasso, yi, Chromaxx

The first EP by redpicasso, a collaborative production unit led by yi.

As suggested by the EP title, the work depicts inorganic and large scale systems and phenomena. Through the three tracks included in this release, the project aims to portray how a fragment of such phenomena is carried by organic human beings, revealing humanity as a material existence, the conflicts that emerge within it, and the diversity of choices each individual ultimately makes.

With Chromaxx joining as a full member, this EP embodies the concept of the unit, which represents the inorganic nature of humanity, standing in contrast to the organic solo project that centers on symbolizing the human.

Artist Profile

  • yi

    Born in Fukuoka, Japan, he grew up listening to domestic rock music as well as American pops and R&B from the 1970s and 1980s. Continually inspired by forms of expression that transcend technique, he broadened his perspective while exploring his own modes of expression and production. In 2024, he began pursuing music in earnest. With the concept of symbolizing humanity at its core, he embraces a genre-fluid approach and bold sound design unafraid of ambiguity or density. Through this, his work portrays human introspection, not in binaries, but as a gradient in which opposing elements coexist.
