Matt Hsu

A special Artists on Artist interview between multi-instrumentalist experimental alt-pop artists Shugo Tokumaru (Japan) and Matt Hsu’s Obscure Orchestra (Australia/Taiwan) covering influences, childhood, creativity and more.

For Matt Hsu, multi-arts all percolate in the making of music, so for the joint release of Noodle and Forest Party, Matt called on comic illustrator Madi Marston to make a comic about Obscure Orchestra. Read it here.

Matt Hsu’s Obscure Orchestra’s ‘Forest Party’ and ‘Noodle’ are fearsomely eclectic albums. Genre boundaries dissolve, and everything is suspended freely, creating its own universe with all the randomness and beautiful chaos it implies. He proves that home can exist wherever there is hope and community.
