James K _ Trip Lick w/ Hank Jackson Takeover - NTS December 2024

Alex Zhang Hungtai performs live at Le Guess Who? 2024 following the release of his latest album 'Young God's Run Free'. 

About
There is life after Dirty Beaches. Taiwanese-born, Montréal-hailing Alex Zhang Hungtai was born anew after retiring from the project, and, since then, has dived fully into the role of composer. Tinkering with the saxophone, synthesizers, percussion, and piano, Zhang has embraced the free form, focusing on explorations of improvised music, free jazz, and ritualistic music of liminality. On the stage, Hungtai deepens his research into complex psychoacoustics, turning the audiences into students of sound, mouths agape. 

Captured at Pieterskerk Utrecht on Saturday, 9 November 2024.

lacuna – Able Noise

New album "Lungs" out now!

This album emerges from the rediscovery of an accordion following the loss of a close relative an instrument that had been a constant companion throughout their life, weaving itself into the fabric of childhood memory. At its core lies the recognition that both human and
accordion share the same essential act: breathing.

The accordion becomes a meditation on mortality and memory, its bellows expanding and contracting like "lungs", its air valve releasing pure breath without melody—the raw pneumatic essence of life itself. Every sound originates from this single instrument, largely unprocessed, preserving the intimate relationship between human touch and mechanical response.

It’s an investigation of how an instrument can hold the memory of hands that no longer play it. The mechanical whispers, the subtle articulations of metal and leather and wood become a language of remembrance, breathed rather than spoken.
