Tonight, we’re diving into the genre-defying world of Malaysian experimental music. From free jazz to harsh noise, multidisciplinary artist Kok Siew Wai takes us on a journey in an attempt to explain the unexplainable qualities of experimentation, how the experimental scene got its start in Malaysia, and how the Kuala Lumpur Experimental Film, Video & Music (KLEX) Festival continues to push sonic boundaries and embrace a new space for artists.
