Ian Chang redefines what it means to be a drummer. Embarking on a solo-project aside from his work with Son Lux and Landlady, Chang focuses on bridging the gap between man and machine. He uses his drum-kit to manipulate music samples in order to weave music more dense and sensuous than perhaps otherwise possible, relying on crystalline polyrhythms to build and release tension. Experience Ian Chang at work when he releases his debut album “Spiritual Leader” at Baby’s All Right on 09.27. –Amanda Ogea
