SOUND TYPE Seminar: ASA-CHANG & Junray with Eugene Lew and Joshua Minsoo Kim
Join us for a special seminar and a conversation between ASA-CHANG & Junray with Eugene Lew and Joshua Minsoo Kim to explore deeper into the sound practice of this esteemed Japanese band on their first US tour!
ASA-CHANG & Junray explores the transference of human to machine sounds using a processing device, Junray Tronics, weaving through rhythmic and tonal references of Jakarta, India and Japan. Led by self-taught tabla-bongo player, Asa-Chang (percussion), the band will perform as a trio including Yoshihiro Goseki (saxophone, flute), Sena Oshima (violin), and the “Junray Tronics” soundsystem.
Eugene Lew is Philadelphia-based guide, producer, educator, and organizer primarily engaged in the performance, design, access, management, transformation, (attempted) capture, storage, and playback of shared IRL experiences – with a slight sound/music bias. The fleeting moment, aggregate independent decision-making, and stochastic phenomena are especially fascinating and vital to his practice and general existence. He welcomes serendipitous collaborations and treasures long-term partnerships that seek to navigate and explore the constant cycle of remembering-learning-forgetting-reconstructing.
Joshua Minsoo Kim is a high school science teacher, culture writer, and film programmer based in Chicago. He is the founder and editor-in-chief of Tone Glow, and his writing on music and film can also be found at Pitchfork, The Wire, and The Chicago Reader. He is currently writing a book about music, sound, and silence in avant-garde films for Repeater Books.
