WILLIAM KURTIS CHANG is a composer, improviser, and multi-instrumentalist based in Manhattan and formerly Baltimore. Trained as a computational systems biologist, he strives in music for a collision of the intimate and the uncanny, the intentional and the contingent, the physical and the abstract. He is inspired by the lo-fi DIY of noise and post-punk, the poignant intuition of dream pop and shoegaze, and the nuanced eloquence of modern classical. Sounds are derived from electric guitar and piano samples and homemade software.
