Biography
Born and raised in Thailand, Pisitakun Kuantalang (a.k.a. Pisitakun or K.D.) was making visual arts in 2009 and started playing music sometime later with interest in how expressions shape under different media environments. Historical events, synthetic sounds, and musical instruments inspire his songs. He is also interested in Thai Sai Yor Music and Thai “Saam Cha Remix” (Thai Cha Cha Cha Remix) Style, dance music that is popular in Thai Motorcycle Teen Gangster society and Thai working-class society. His 2018 album “SOSLEEP”, released via Chinabot, was created shortly after the death of his father. Pisitakun combined traditional mourning instruments with harsh noise and techno beats, wrapping them around intimate recordings of the hospital machinery, keeping his father alive during his final days.
He is also a co-founder of Neighbours Collective, which is dedicated to bringing international cultural exchange programs and platforms that cultivate friendship between Southeast Asian countries, Asian countries, and the world.
Pisitakun has performed in notable places such as CTM Festival (Berlin, Germany), Asian Meeting Festival (Tokyo, Japan), MEIA (Aveiro, Portugal), Spaziomusica Festival (Cagliari, Italy) and Cafe OTO (London, UK).
