TYOY and the Alliance Française Bangkok present The Poetry of Boundless, a concert that transcends the boundaries of sound and art. Artist profile: Dirk Johan Stromberg is an improviser and instrument maker whose work explores people’s musical languages through live performance. His performances center on custom-built electroacoustic instruments, such as the Fryprone and Phallophone, which embody his philosophy of hyper-instrumentalism—where tactile interfaces and dynamic sonic possibilities extend improvisational language. Rooted in free improvisation, Dirk’s music balances structure and spontaneity, embracing raw energy, nuance, and deep listening. His practice is informed by jazz, experimental composition, and electroacoustic traditions, drawing influence from figures like Evan Parker, Anthony Braxton, and Derek Bailey. As a maker, he develops instruments that prioritize agility, versatility, and physicality, allowing for intricate sonic explorations that challenge conventional instrumental roles. Dirk’s work spans continents, from telematic performances to multi-channel immersive experiences. His collaborations include musicians, dancers, and interdisciplinary artists, reflecting his belief in the fluidity of artistic boundaries. Whether performing solo or in ensemble settings, he seeks to create instruments and performances that push the limits of improvisation while remaining deeply personal. Currently based in Singapore, Dirk is a Senior Lecturer at LASALLE College of the Arts, where he continues to develop new tools and methodologies for improvisation and live performance.

粟津潔展 「街は偉大な教師だった！複製芸術が行く」 //展示会場 入場料// 1ドリンクか アースマンステッカー500円か アースマンキャンディ500円のどれか一点 粟津潔の歴代の作品が並んだ（だがそれは氷山の一角にすら満たない断片だ）。仲間たちと作り続けた空間に佇むこの距離感と緊張感。主に60～70年代を中心とした、年の頃で言えば30～40代に手がけた作品たちが並ぶ。この作品群を目の前に耐性の無い現代のデザイナーは愕然とするだろう、かくにも僕もその一人だ。「デザインになにができるか」を問い続けた粟津潔の圧力を目の前にどうか茫然と立ち尽くしてくれ。ギャー！ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーText by 鷲尾友公

26 May, something will happen. Escape your day, your week. Join us at Speakerbox. Searching for exits from the mundane, three bands claw, rattle, and burn their way out of their cages. Rock, traditional Thai music, punk, heavy metal, and jazz are pulled apart, rewired, and set loose. Definitions collapse. Genres leak. New shapes emerge in the noise. Electronic jazz noise. Improvised rock with traditional Thai instruments. Free-improvised metal. Three bands. Three escape routes. One night outside the cage.
