Presenting the most innovative jazz sounds of the region - Golden Melody Award-winning HK-US contemporary jazz band Invisible Architecture X Chinese experimental jazz duo INNOUT

Navigating beyond genre boundaries, the two groups blend contemporary electronics and urban soundscapes with original jazz instrumentation, creating unique sounds that transcend traditional jazz imaginations.

Invisible Architecture
Comprised of Hong Kong native guitarist Alan Kwan, American drummer Matt Young, and keyboardist Jordan Gheen, the binational contemporary jazz group Invisible Architecture received a Golden Melody Awards in 2022 for their debut album Between Now and Never and has become one of the most watched emerging jazz groups in the region.

INNOUT
INNOUT is a conceptual duo initiated by young guitarist and composer Xiao Jun and jazz musician An Yu in 2018. INNOUT's music extracts the improvisation and dance elements of jazz music, and organically mixes and amplifies them with the sound design and 44 rhythms of electronic music to bring forth a highly experimental sound quality. INNOUT is dedicated to pure improvisation, and each performance is an immediate presentation of the present and a new generation of thinking about music. INNOUT is committed to pure improvisation, and each performance is an immediate presentation of the present and the birth of a new musical reflection.
