Y/OUR MUSIC immerses itself in the world of Thai musical expressions, from traditional music to labor songs and classical pop to urban indie music, spanning different locales and generations.

As nine musicians display their musical expression, the rural or urban environments that influenced their sound are also explored. The hands that play traditional instruments amid the red dust clouds, the work songs being hummed in front of grains awaiting harvest, and the indie music born out of concrete basements – all create a melodious ecosystem, captured in a sensory journey from the noisy polluted streets of Bangkok to the calm, arid fields of Isan (the country’s northeastern region bordering Laos and Cambodia).

While inhabiting different worlds, the musicians are linked by the same passion to bring their artistic aspirations to the fore and survive outside the pop mainstream.

Y/OUR MUSIC is part of SOUNDS BY SOUTHEAST (SXSE) 1

SXSE is a series of Southeast Asian music documentaries curated by The Onion Cellar and Vanity Production Vietnam. Consisting of 3 feature films and a special showcase of shorts, SXSE’s first installment celebrates musicians operating on the fringe of society.
