Brenda Sayuri (Brazil-born, Japan-rooted) is a Madrid-based live techno artist who blends her background in music academia with fearless sonic experimentation. Originally trained as a guitarist at the Brazilian Conservatory, she pivoted in 2014 toward modular and electronic music, cultivating a signature sound where precision, ritual, and emotive drive converge.
Her performances are exclusively live: she sculpts evolving soundscapes in real time, using semi-modular synths, drum machines, MIDI controllers. She channels influences like Tensal, Helena Hauff and The Lady Machine, but forges her own path in the intersection of industrial edge and organic depth.
Her live sets are known for their dynamic energy and immersive arcs, they breathe, shift, intensify, and invite listeners into a visceral, sensory dialogue. She released several EPs, remixed both local and international artists, and in 2023 launched TENSION, an audiovisual project with Brazilian visual artist V.A.H.N. Beyond club contexts, Brenda composes for dance, theater and commercial projects, maintaining a boundaryless creative practice grounded in sonic integrity.
In addition to her outstanding presence in music production, Brenda has left her mark in various creative fields. Her originality has been fundamental in the creation of soundtracks for brands, advertising, dance and theater. Brenda’s artistic versatility is reflected not only in her own work, but also in her collaboration with artists of diverse styles, consolidating herself as an influential and multifaceted figure in the contemporary music scene.
“Tension” is the audiovisual performance project by VANH & Brenda Sayuri.

The conceptual line of this force will guide the spectators in an immersive, sonorous and forceful performance.
The sound emitted by the oscillators and modulators will recreate an environment of opposing forces, where the visuals subjected to
physics will react to the frequencies in real time.
The attraction of particles, strings, acceleration of pixels, will give us unique visuals, with a lot of speed and balance.
