Frances Chang is a songwriter, producer, film composer, and video artist. Largely self-taught as a musician, Chang’s output has long been marked by a sense of the bizarre, the cinematic, and emotional experimentation. Born in Chicago and raised in New York, Chang’s musical practice grew largely autonomously through her bedroom recordings. Her formative live experiences were shaped by an early exposure to DIY punk, emo and post-hardcore scenes. The eclecticism evident in Chang’s music, alongside her enduring interest in the relationship between the realms of the digital and the real, have found parallel expression via interdisciplinary new media projects like her found poetry project ORACLE, based on her study of the I Ching, as well as her work in film scoring.
been thinking bout confession, Chang’s third album and her most ambitious and personal work to date, finds the singer’s suddenly diaphanous vocals guiding instrumentation that vacillates between the frenetic and the oceanic. She is 1/2 of Die Artist, an experimental ambient duo.
