DYCP - KYAN

The following works represent the three pillars of my practice:

Music, Music-Led Storytelling & Narrative Hybrid Film Experimentation.

The pieces reflect where I’ve been, with a glimpse of where I’m now heading: toward sustainable, emotionally resonant cinema built from sound and story.

SHOWREEL.

A short showreel of moments from the release of ‘Nothing Beyond,’ my visual album.

BLACKWASH

The viral video art piece that caught the attention of the internet and Emmy winning Hollywood producer and actor Lena Waithe.

(My previous successful DYCP application allowed me to workshop and develop art like this)

A PERPETUAL FALLING FORWARDS

The story of my latest music project told through film and voiceover.

THE ISLAND (BETA)

This is an unfinished excerpt from early experiments with hybrid documentary film — unifying narrative, music as a character, and cinematic visuals, with myself as the protagonist. These are the tools I intend to develop further: bringing emotional and contextual depth to the music I create by telling stories drawn from my own life.

In the piece below (which I scored), there is no musical performance — but this development period will help me explore how to fuse moments like this with performance, creating the hybrid cinema I’m aiming for.
