From The Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam:
The Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam participates in Hanoi Sound Stuff 2013 by bringing two supreme Japanese electronic musicians, Daito Manabe & Ametsub on Friday 12 April and Saturday 13 April 2013, respectively.

Equipped with numerous awards including Excellent Prize at Japan Media Arts Festival, Daito Manabe explores the possibility of usages of ordinary objects for his experimental productions, mainly for music and visuals. His unique attempts are highly acclaimed not only among art/music critics but also among general public in Japan. He will surely bring another surprise to the Vietnamese audience this time.

Ametsub is a Tokyo-based electronic musician who has produced 3 albums since 2006. His second album “The Nothings of the North” (2009) was selected as “the best disc in 2009” by Ryuichi Sakamoto, a legendary famous Japanese musician/composer. In Hanoi Sound Stuff 2013, Ametsub plays a role as a DJ to provide his best of chill-out/cozy electronic tunes for the Vietnamese audience.

We do hope, with the enthusiastic efforts of the festival director Tri Minh and the supports from co-organizers and sponsors, Hanoi Sound Stuff 2013 will be an excellent platform to experience the diversity of music for all music lovers in Hanoi.

The tickets are available in advance and at the entrance on the days of the performances. With the price of 150,000 VND (for 12 April) and 50,000 VND (for 13 April) (25% discount for students for both days), the tickets are on sales at the Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam (27 Quang Trung, Hoan Kiem), Goethe-Institut Hanoi (56-68 Nguyen Thai Hoc, Ba Dinh) and British Council Vietnam (20 Thuy Khue, Tay Ho).
