Experimental music, especially in the form of improvised live performances,remains a rather “unknown territory” to Vietnamese popular music. However,similar to an undercurrent – the practice of improvised experimental music continues to flourish alongside the strong connection to Vietnamese traditional
music, while also striving to be a part of the international experimental scene.

Belonging to the pioneering generation of Vietnamese experimental music, the five artists will bring audiences to a multidimensional realm of sonic experiences that are perhaps unexpected and certainly not repetitive – as each moment of our everchanging lives comes and goes…
