INTRODUCTION

"I don’t like to think using patterns or categories so I direct my search along a liny shadow line trying to overpass the musical walls and putting together different sound universes, enlarging the landscape spared to the listener. My works are trying to make nexus among the sounds of tagged dark-ambient with sounds of so-called industrial. Two different sound landscapes to which coincides two universes, two dimensions very far among them that I try to do complements.As beside to dark and iron sonorities, representatives the factory and smithy, there are warm notes coming from cello and viola hold by sound carpets. Distorted voices appears sometimes like a most evident signal of the human misery. Several times the pulse coming out from a drum machine or from a rhythmic noise gives an obsessive heartbeat to the piece. Every sound is the materialization of a specific condition, always balanced from social and inside-private dimension. Themes of pieces and their sound development lives not for to respect the style of a kind of music that must be transmitted or destroyed. With a lot of effort the works are trying to get ahead of everything in a journey between what is enclosing outside and what lives inside, attaching sounds who can recomposing the unit of the human condition explored crossing always the darkest side of the path."

After exchanging few emails with Nhung Nguyen,an amazing artist from Vietnam,I am posting here (as requested) the cover sleeve of her latest album + description from her archive page.
"Five improvisations recorded on upright acoustic piano. Each piece has a really extinctive character.
Vibrate has layers of reverb and exteneded techniques on piano string. Gather Eternity has loud hiss noise and distorted sound.
Gallery of emptyness is sort of a lo - fi recording. Remembering all passing things and Untold are a mix of piano chords and field recordings.
"Five Chapters" refers to the endless search in life.
My real, native name is Nguyễn Hồng Nhung ( Western name order is Nhung Nguyen ) and I'm from Vietnam.
I used various other name before 2014 but right now I stay with the artistic name Sound Awakener.
I have 5 years under private classical piano training ( from 2002 to 2007 ).
From 2007 to now I'm self - taught, develop my own technique as well as focus closely on composing and improvising.
I still play classical music, as well as other kinds of music nowadays.
My music expresses everything, from life to deep, dark inner corners.I always want to combine different elements and experiment new ideas."
