{"product_id":"731628580826","title":"Koh, Tim \u0026 Sun An \"Salt and Sugar Look the Same\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eMusic From Memory is pleased to announce the upcoming release of ‘Salt And Sugar Look The Same’, a collaborative album from Tim Koh and Sun An.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTim Koh is an American multi-instrumentalist and visual artist born and raised in Los Angeles. He has been touring, releasing music and showing art works internationally for nearly two decades. Sun An is a Southern California-based graphic designer, art director, and sound designer who has self-released music since 2012.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e‘Salt And Sugar Look The Same’ plays somewhat like a dreamlike collage; across 18 short compositions, finger-picked guitars melt with electronics and warped samples to create a form of American Primitivism bent and refracted through Tim and Sun’s unique lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTheir collaborative journey unfolded gradually, exchanging snippets via email over the span of a year or so, Sun in LA and Tim in Berlin. Amidst personal struggles and uncertainties, the act of recording and composing became a refuge, a safe space where they could navigate life's complexities together. Though they didn't converse much, mostly just sending music, their musical dialogue spoke volumes, shaping a narrative that evolved naturally over time. As they shared their musical ideas, they discovered a profound sense of connection and understanding with one another. The music became a conduit for healing, bridging the gaps between them and offering comfort in times of need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTheir musical influences and backgrounds anchored them. From reminiscing about past scenes to exploring cultural intricacies of being Korean American in Los Angeles, infused with a natural sense of shared identity, their collaboration reflected a mergence of old and new memories into a hallucinatory, dream-like experience. Across the 18 compositions that make up the album, incense emerges as a poignant motif, symbolizing the passage of time. Each incense stick becomes a vessel carrying the essence of moments gone by, while the holder becomes the custodian of these ephemeral memories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"(Music From Memory)","offers":[{"title":"VINYL","offer_id":44114662752431,"sku":"731628580826","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/8833\/2463\/files\/Tim_2520Koh_2520_2520Sun_2520An-_2520Salt_2520And_2520Sugar_2520Look_2520The_2520Same.jpg?v=1720053654","url":"https:\/\/endofanear.sbs\/products\/731628580826","provider":"End Of An Ear","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
