Ruitao You (born 1996), also known as Florencio Yau, is a composer and improvisational pianist known for his exploratory approach to contemporary music. His dedication to avant-garde compositions and interdisciplinary collaborations reflects his commitment to expanding musical boundaries. A key focus of his work is the integration of linguistics and phonetics with music, creating innovative soundscapes that explore the intersection of language and art.

Driven by a desire to evoke synesthetic experiences and convey philosophical ideas through his music, Florencio employs unconventional techniques, including algorithmic approaches and spectralism. He is currently pursuing a second master's degree in composition at the Royal Northern College of Music, building on his prior studies at the Xinghai Conservatory of Music.

Florencio's compositions have been recognized internationally, with highlights including performances at the Transient Synesthesia concert and multimedia art show in Guangzhou, China, in 2023, and the orchestral work "Desire, Attraction, and Non-gravitational Force," performed by the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and RNCM performers in Manchester, UK, in 2024. His piece "Dispersing Branches" was featured by the Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra at the Sofia Symphonic Summit 2024.

Throughout his career, Florencio has studied with distinguished composers and educators, including Michael Jarrell, Pierluigi Billone, Steven Daverson, Fang Li, Alexandra Karastoyanova-Hermentin, Peter Kerkelov, and Sam Salem. Their mentorship has significantly influenced his artistic development.
