From the organizer:
“What to do with the springsheen?” unfolds a kaleidoscopic journey, ushering in the new year with lingering post-Tet jubilation. Each artist explores the theme of spring – new beginnings through their own unique perspectives, weaving together the familiar and the novel, the bewildering and the exhilarating, the joyous and the nostalgic.
Special thanks to our friends Lý Trang and Trần Uy Đức for contributing ideas during the brainstorming stage of this concert.

Vũ Trung Kiên / Katherine Vu: is a singer-songwriter in Hanoi, who composes music in genres such as shoegaze, ambient or post-punk. The projects she participated in include “in memory of the view from Hanoi opera house”, with the album “beach/heaven” released in 2022, and car punk in the role of bassist.
Nhung Nguyễn: is an emerging Vietnamese sound artist currently based in Hanoi, experimenting across a range of left-field aesthetics and expressions – ambient drone, electro acoustic, noise music, musique concrete, amongst others.

She has worked with international labels such as Time Released Sound (US), Unknown Tones Records (US), Soft (France), Flaming Pines (UK), Fluid Audio (UK), Syrphe (Germany).
In addition to her solo work, Nhung has collaborated with artists from various other disciplines, often adding audio elements to visual experiences. Nhung’s music and sounds have appeared in exhibitions such as Hồi Sóng (2021), Liberation Radio (2021), Citizen Earth (2020, Hanoi), Phan Thao Nguyen’s Poetic Amnesia (HCMC and Hanoi, 2017), the public-art initiatives Into Thin Air (2016) and Into Thin Air 2 (2018) – both in Hanoi, Richard Streimatter-Tran’s Departures (Hong Kong, 2017), amongst others. As a composer and sound designer, Nhung has also worked on music composition and sound design for theater, films and video art.
