Lách Tách

Vietnamese composer and performer Lương Huệ Trinh builds her musical practice by exploring materials from traditional music, everyday life sounds, and electronic sounds. She shapes and places them in new relationships, creating multilayered sonic landscapes that blur the boundaries between reality and illusion. Her music becomes emotional wanderings that guide listeners through layers of memory, through space, through the sharing of personal thoughts.


In the Lách Tách concert, Lương Huệ Trinh invites Vũ Thị Thùy Linh, a traditional Vietnamese vocalist, to join this voyage. Vũ Thị Thùy Linh presents the ancient melodies of Ả Đào, a millennia-old traditional music form from Northern Vietnam blending poetry and music with highly refined vocal techniques and the most complex tonal system, accompanied by Phách (claves) and Trống chầu (drum). Two artists, two distinct approaches to sound, collide and create a space with folds in time.


What belongs to the past and what is unfolding in the present do not remain separate but interweave, generating sonic moments where the boundary between old and new becomes blurred – at once strange and familiar. The music here does not explain but poses questions – about time, about memory, about what still resonates.
