Los Angeles-based composer and multi-instrumentalist\u00a0Dustin\u00a0Wong<\/strong> crafts dense, exuberant music that lands\u00a0somewhere between abstracted pop and progressive electronic production. While his series of solo albums released on Thrill Jockey<\/strong> focused on emotionally charged loop-based guitar sessions, his newest material finds him streaking off in the direction of multi-layered compositions that complement his six-string foundation with\u00a0sampling keyboard arrangements and improvised electronic flourishes.\u00a0Fluid World Building 101 With Shaman Bambu<\/strong><\/em>, his first release with Hausu Mountain, offers a diverse program of Wong\u2019s sessions that span everything from high energy drum-laden workouts to luminous ballads that highlight his own impassioned vocal performances. In line with the bright optimism and playful prog sensibilities of his former band\u00a0Ponytail<\/strong>,\u00a0Dustin\u00a0Wong approaches solo composition with the wide palette of an imaginary large ensemble teeming with synthetic voices that defy traditional roles of percussion and lead melody. His tracks tend to center around individual guitar or synth performances that serve as the spark for improvised overdubs, generally recorded in one take, that push his initial ideas through varied harmonic frameworks and textural backdrops. Recorded towards the end of his most recent years-long stint living in Tokyo alongside his partner and collaborator Takako Minekawa<\/strong>,\u00a0Fluid World Building\u00a0101<\/em> bears the traces of\u00a0Dustin\u00a0Wong\u2019s immersion in the traditions of electro-acoustic improvisation, ambient and new age musics, and future-facing sound design. After moving to LA and beginning a new chapter in his day-to-day life, Wong\u2019s practice concurrently transitions to new heights of compositional complexity and emotional resonance<\/h5>\n
