Hyunhye (Angela) Seo is an artist exploring experimental composition and expression of sound, creating deep turbulent soundscapes through ecstatic piano improvisations, dynamic percussion, and cavernous acoustic treatments. Her live performances are uncompromising in its open and immediate exploration of sounds, pulling from experimental noise, modern classical, avant-garde jazz, and ambient territories.

She has also been writing, recording, producing and performing dozens of works for over a decade as an active member of the musical group Xiu Xiu, which has gained international recognition for experimental and avant-garde musical composition and performances, including in numerous collaborations with other musical and visual artists.

Her latest release, Continuation (December 2025) is a cascading piano improvisation - music as surrender, dialogue between performer, space and the present moment, released by cult label Ubi Kū. On Side B, Japanese avant-garde pioneer Phew reinterprets Seo's performance into a new electronic landscape.

Seo has performed in collaboration with various artists spanning the visual and performance world, including with Danh Vo (“Metal” at The Kitchen, and “Deforms the Unborn” at the Guggenheim NYC), and the Berlin-based Cheap Collective (featuring Vaginal Davis, Susanne Sachsse, Marc Siegel).
