Brenda Sayuri, Brazilian-born and of Japanese descent, has found in Madrid a fertile ground to evolve from an academic multi-instrumentalist into an innovative voice in contemporary electronic music.
With more than two decades of musical experience, Brenda shifted from her roots as a guitarist at the Brazilian Conservatory of Music in Rio de Janeiro to embrace the freedom of analog and modular sound design. Since moving to Spain in 2014, she has developed a distinctive live-techno language — precise, physical, and emotionally charged.
Performing exclusively live, Brenda transforms her studio productions into energetic, hypnotic experiences. Her sets are driven by raw analog textures, drum machines, and modular synths that build tension and release with surgical precision. The result is a sound both industrial and human — a dialogue between control and chaos, intellect and instinct.
Her main influences include The Lady Machine, Tensal, and Helena Hauff, artists whose approach to sound and performance resonates with her own pursuit of authenticity and intensity.
Beyond the dancefloor, Brenda’s versatility spans across artistic disciplines: she has composed soundtracks for dance, theater, and commercial projects, produced remixes for international artists, and released four EPs that explore her evolving sonic identity. In 2023, she co-created TENSION, an audiovisual project with Brazilian visual artist V.A.H.N., expanding her vision toward a total sensory experience.
Brenda Sayuri stands as one of the most exciting live techno performers to emerge from Spain’s underground scene — an artist whose performances fuse academic rigor, physical drive, and the spirit of electronic ritual.
“Tension AV Show” is the audiovisual performance project by Brenda Sayuri and V.A.H.N.

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.
