Artistic Expression as a Polymedia Journal with Phong Tran

On today's episode of music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by Phong Tran.

Phong Tran is a Brooklyn-based composer and visual artist primarily working in digital and electronic mediums. His work revolves around emotional experience in digital and nonphysical spaces. Phong’s solo work has been released through New Amsterdam Records, people | places | records, and slashsound. 

Collaborative works of his have been release by Carrier Records, Bright Shiny Things, Gold Bolus Records, and Records to Burn. Notable performances include Bang on a Can’s 2022 Long Play Festival at Public Records, Loud Weekend at MassMOCA, Momentous Festival at The Momentary.

In this conversation, Phong shares what led him to dive into electronic music in the first place and what that artistic transformation was like; how he views ocmposition as a form of journaling - and even therapy; and why creating emotional space in his creative work is so important.
