HANOI (VNS) (VNS)— US-based Vietnamese composer, improviser, teacher and electronic musician Nguyen Xinh Xo will present a night of electro-acoustic music at Manzi Art Space in Ha Noi tomorrow.

Most of his works aim to re-contextualise the essence of traditional instruments through spectral processing and interactive manipulation of the acoustic sound by computer, as well as to explore the transformation of traditional music through the contemporary and experimental medium. His main interest and passion is to experiment with new sounds and new techniques that are able to merge the old with the new, the tradition with the contemporary, while mending the gap between them sonically and musically.

His compositions have been performed in the US, Canada, Argentina, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, Italy, France and the Netherlands.

His performance at Manzi will start at 8pm. Free entry but registration at manzihanoi@gmail.com before 3pm today is required. — VNS
