About This Event

rubenmccarter: Untie The Knot Album Listening Party \[Eastern Margins × DADI360 present\] rubenmccarter is a Chinese indie musician based in London. Drawing inspiration from pop culture and music, he translates complex emotions into his own distinctive musical language. At this event, he will perform his forthcoming album “Untie the Knot” in its entirety for the very first time. A computer, an audio interface, a pair of headphones, and a microphone covered with a sock, that's everything rubenmccarter used to make his music. Over the course of six months, he wrote, arranged, and produced the entire album. The knot represents the bonds between people, the tangled complexities that are so difficult to unravel, and the knots we carry deep inside ourselves. For this night, we invite rubenmccarter and other artists from across Asia to share intimate emotions born in tiny bedrooms, carried across oceans. Sounds emerging from small rooms, speaking of vulnerability, sensitivity, feeling lost, anxiety, displacement, longing, and love… Through delicate vocals, captivating guitar tones, and playful electronic arrangements, these artists turn their most private feelings into music. Come listen to the distinctly personal expressions of a new generation of Asian indie artists.
