Jaeho Hwang is a London-based, South Korean composer and visual artist inspired by the Buddhist concept of impermanent selfhood. He draws from the dark, stuttering beats from London’s experimental club scene—harsh industrial sounds recall no-wave’s minimalist deconstruction. His use of traditional Korean instruments within this context, like the piri bamboo flute, or the stringed kayagum, recast traditional textures into modern form.
Jaeho Hwang is a member of Chinabot, which is a platform and collective created to change the dialogue surrounding Asian music. And he has been hosting his own radio show on 10Twenty Radio and Internet Public Radio. His show takes you on a journey through a range of genres from old Korean music to Experimental to Avant-Garde to Electro.
