SEXUAL
Music Short Movie, 9min, 2019 - 2020
SEXUAL: A SCREAM UNDER YOUR BONES
Loud, intense, talent and avant-garde, SEXUAL through images and sound is an explosive claw on Earth: a deep call from instincts. When Yumi Sonoda met VAYA the result is fascinating and has an elegant way of disturbing visual and music laws. Enter into Higher voltages, a real human metamorphosis to feel.
