About the artists
Dustin Wong
After Ponytail went on hiatus, Dustin released a solo album “Infinite Love” in 2010.
“The songs become hypnotic melodies quickly. Pin-pricks congeal into chords, loops swing into low-end waves, and strums spawn glistening notes like a sparkler emitting embers.” – Pitchfork
“The sections of “Infinite Love,” a continuous 40-minute composition, tend to start with plucked arpeggios and expand, sometimes taking on a melody, sometimes rippling in ever-wider arcs, sometimes melting into feedback and echo. The music is always heading somewhere promising.” – Jon Pareles, New York Times

Nobuko Hori (VJ)
“Nobuko was born and raised in the Kansai area of Japan. Which is the area around Osaka. There must be something in the water there, cause it seems to culture people with no boarders on art. She moved to Tokyo to study art, and has since moved to NYC. We here at music related think she’s a great unique talent, and continues the kansai’s area history of pushing left field pop and experimentation forward.” – Music Related
