ABOUT THE SET
Sharing this live hardware set with the FaceTime community at Nowadays was one of the most memorable experiences i’ve had as a performer, and i’m grateful to Eric Umble for the invitation.  It traverses prismatic techno worlds by way of a 140bpm thread, with grooves that fluidly transform in a spirit of abundance. Over the course of an hour, a dozen interlaced tracks encompass hypnotic, saturated, and ethereal spaces.

Threadsuns for String Quartet (II mvmt)

Ha-Yang Kim creates new music as a composer and cellist, regularly collaborating with ensembles and artists in festivals and performance venues throughout the world.  Drawing from a breadth of western classical music, American experimentalism, rock, electronic, noise, avant-improv, to non-western sources, Kim's music is inspired by acoustic phenomena, ritual ceremonial processes, and characterized by an organic visceral lyricism of sound influenced by the East Asian sense of space and emptiness.  Ms. Kim developed a unique signature language of extended string techniques and has also composed music for film, theatre and multi-media.  Performances throughout the US, Europe, Asia, Russia, Turkey, Morocco, Bali, Cuba, Canada.  Released 2 discs of her compositions, "Ama" and "Threadsuns", on Tzadik.
