Kim D. Vu is a Berlin-based musician, composer, and sound artist working across experimental music, installation, and curatorial practice. Trained in classical guitar, Kim’s artistic path soon expanded into hardcore, punk, and metal, forming the foundation for a cross-genre approach that moves fluidly between composition, improvisation, and sonic research.

As a studio and live collaborator, Kim works with diverse artists and producers on projects that merge noise, metal, electronics, and contemporary sound art. Their individual practice centers on feedback systems, distortion chains, drone structures, and fragmented melodic material.

Alongside performance and composition, Kim develops interactive installations using sensor-triggered systems that translate sound into vibration and movement. These works invite audiences to physically experience low frequencies and noise as spatial and embodied phenomena.

Kim is a member of the experimental metal band Hugging and composes for film, video art, and interdisciplinary audiovisual contexts, creating sonic architectures that respond to and reshape the moving image.

Beyond artistic production, Kim curates and produces event series including Soy&Synth, Threesound Expo, Black Communion, the Decolonoize Event Series, and works in production at CTM Festival.

As co-founder of the Decolonoize Collective, Kim contributes to building platforms that amplify marginalized voices and foster structural transformation within the music industry.
