Bastian Hues is a Berlin-based sonic explorer using music to process trauma, addiction, and neurodiversity; transforming pain into connection. His hexaphonic guitar, wired to isolate each string for individual processing, becomes a playground for melody, percussion, and sound design. Inspired by warped pop pioneers like SOPHIE, St. Vincent, and Talking Heads, he bends textures to redefine what guitar can be. His new song ‘gripz’ confronts addiction to pornography, as well as the journey toward emotional honesty and deeper self-connection.
Formerly known as Blyolk, Bastian now writes without masks. As an artist with ADHD and autism, his work explores focus, chaos, and the tension between control and surrender. Born in Australia with Austrian-Hungarian roots, he is now reclaiming his European heritage, living in Berlin, reconnecting with a family history shaped by the Holocaust. Bastian’s music is a tool for embodiment and an invitation to build a more loving, connected world.
