My name is Sayuri Hayashi Egnell, a Japanese composer, music producer and sound artist based in Stockholm, Sweden.
 

I grew up in Japan, in a town home to Eiheiji, a historic Zen temple. I began studying classical piano at the age of three and spent much of my childhood preparing for piano competitions.

Surrounded by nature, I also grew up listening to the sounds of cicadas in summer, temple bells at the turn of the year, and rice fields swaying in the wind. These sounds and memories have shaped the way I listen to and understand the world.
 

My work spans film music, animation, visual media and sound art. I have a deep interest in field recording, capturing sounds from the world around me and weaving them together with piano, acoustic instruments and electronic textures to create unique soundscapes.
 

I’m fascinated by the relationship between sound, memory, nature and human emotion. Through music and sound, I seek to create immersive experiences that go beyond words, connecting people with places, memories and feelings.

I'm always open to new collaborations and creative possibilities. If you have a story to tell or an idea to explore, I'd love to hear from you.

Let's create something meaningful together.
