Goh Lee Kwang (family name Goh, Penang, Malaysia) is an enigmatic sound artist from Malaysia.

Goh has created sound installations, sonic-visual interactive installations, single and multi-channel videos, improvised music performances, field recording, tape music, works for radio broadcasts and soundtracks for theater, dance, film, and has exhibited in venues in both Asia and Europe.

Goh's works focus on the various possibilities of natural sound and recorded sound, crossing the boundaries of digital and analog, electronic and acoustic. They go beyond language, allowing audiences to experience the work directly and in their own personal way.

With a career spanning over two decades, Goh fearlessly explores the vast expanse of the musical cosmos, crafting compositions that defy easy categorization. Seamlessly blending avant-garde, electronic, and experimental elements, he creates a sound that is both captivating and thought-provoking.

Review — Corticalart.com
Selected solo improvisations with stereo dj mixer. “Goh Lee Kwang are one of the most prominent and well-respected experimental sound artist and improviser from Malaysia, working on wide range of contexts, from backing music for dance & theater to sound video installation. Over the last two years, he has begun frequently working on the “Good Vibrations” recording. Original from Penang, Glk burst onto the scene in the beginning of 21st century as a electronic music maker. since then, he has gradually shifted his output into a more abstract vein, often abandoning the musical instruments entirely. glk previous recording include collaboration with Aziz, Tim Blechmann and many others, as well as numerous solo recording including Internal Pleasures, Punk guitar and Nerve Center. Based in Kuala Lumpur, who uses a range of names for performing including his real one, Goh Lee Kwang, is a immensely talented sound artist, as demonstrated by his solo work (records on PseudoArcana, Deserted Factory, and his very own Herbal), as well as his collaborations with Tim Blechmann, Olaf Hochherz, and many others (releases on Moka Bar, TiBProd, Herbal,Break the line !). Goh Lee Kwang recorded quite a bit of material for this project, six studio sessions (Stuttgart, Rotterdam, Krems, Kuala Lumpur, London, Amsterdam) plus two concerts (Paris, Stuttgart). From this materials, the artist hand pick the recording which represent the most closer to the original sound (of the mixer) without any process of filter and treatment, and the result is Good Vibrations (which is actually taken from a the Beach Boys title). The eyecathing design is the work of Herbal in house design team, created entirely from the photos of Lau Mun Leng taken in Rotterdam.”
