His Hubris

His Hubris is saxophonist Yong Yandsen and Sudarshan Chandra Kumar on electronics. The duo is a result of their prior involvement in various other performative configurations and an effort to develop the techniques employed in their craft. Drawing from standard improv conventions, they utilize a synthesis of extended techniques and live audio signal processing to expand the nature of their practice.

“Saxophonist Yong Yandsen and electronic musician Sudarshan Chandra Kumar represent the small circle of musicians in Kuala Lumpur organizing a monthly improvised music event called SPIL (Serious Play Improv Lab). In interviews they both joke about small their audiences are and that no one comes back to their concerts, but in reality they serve as an important hub for both regional and international musicians on tour, which can be heard in their fluency and the unconventional ways they play their instruments.” Takuro Mizuta Lippit aka DJ Sniff — The Wire, December 2017
