Q&A: RA Exchange with Korea Town Acid

The Exchange isResident Advisor's weekly interview podcast—a series of conversations with the artists, labels, and promoters shaping the electronic music landscape. These long-form interviews are typically recorded at RA's offices in London and Berlin. Occasionally, though, they take the podcast on the road, catching up with luminaries in front of live audiences at festivals and conferences around the world. At this live edition of The Exchange, you'll have the chance to step away from the main stage and share in the conversation with festival artists and members of RA's editorial staff.

For this episode of The Exchange, New York-based journalist Nyshka Chandran talks with Jessica Cho, aka Korea Town Acid KR/CA^KR/CA, in advance of her Digital Detox performance at MUTEK Montréal.

Jessica Cho’s signature sound has garnered global attention over the past decade, leading her to perform both DJ and live hardware sets throughout Europe and North America. As Korea Town Acid, she experiments with modern hardware while keeping her classically-trained foundations intact, fusing classical sounds with contemporary textures in order to craft multi-faceted works that go beyond traditional club music. She further develops her unique sound by using both analog and digital polysynths, drum machines and samplers to create moody and unpredictable soundscapes.

Presented in collaboration with Resident Advisor.
