YAIMA is a Cascadian Elemental & Alchemical Electronic Music Duo based in Seattle WA.
Creating a deeply captivating and finely tuned container for their audiences, YAIMA (Mas Higasa and Pepper Proud) allow the listener the opportunity to Journey through Sonic Soundscapes traversing sensually stimulating and heart centered compositions deeply inspiring each listener to return to their truth.
Their music is reminiscent of well known music groups such as Purity Ring, Massive Attack, Bjork, Portishead, Wildlight, Emancipator and Lulacruza. YAIMA’s music is interwoven with intention and acknowledgment for the elementals. As the earth transmutes through fire, the winds move the water, the water falls and replenishes the earth- the cycles of gratitude and reciprocity is what weaves these harmonies and deeply pulsing rhythms into a unique and balanced sensational journey.
Multimedia visionary artist Simon Haiduk, has created all three of Yaima’s album covers. His artwork is inspired by the majesty of nature, with strong metaphysical themes including wildlife. This makes for a harmonious collaboration with the music of Yaima. Seeing Haiduk’s artwork animated, pulsing to the rhythms and melodies of the music brings another divine level of immersive experience to his art and the performance.
