Tri Minh
Vietnam's first true electronic artist, Tri Minh started his career in the early 90s as a jazz musician, graduating with a degree in composing from the Hanoi Conservatory of Music. After a period of improvising with jazz, Tri Minh began to expand his creative palette, moving into the new world of electronica.
Since 1999, Tri Minh has composed and performed as a solo electronic artist, playing around Vietnam and the world. Known for both his work as a top-notch minimalist DJ and and avant-garde musician and sound artist, Tri Minh merges electronic programming and instrumentation with traditional Vietnamese music both in musical performances and in combination with modern installations and performances.
A long-time CAMA collaborator, Tri Minh is also the founder and curator of the annual Hanoi Sound Stuff experimental music festival. This year's event will be held at Van Ho Exhibition Centre from 14th-16th April.
