Before the week started, I ventured the wide web for music in Southeast Asia. I quickly stumbled across the artist Gym and Swim. They are an indie pop band based in Thailand that debuted in 2013. I found myself listening to their music on shuffle all throughout the week. The song that I decided to use for this song share is Yuuwahuu. Before I read a word in the textbook, I found the mallet based instruments in this song very interesting and prominent. I found it intriguing that they would be used in such a modern song and yet it fit so well. I also found the title of the song very interesting. “Yuuwahuu” means absolutely nothing in any language. I feel as though they are saying “you oh you” but I find the word play entertaining. The combination of sound affects in the piece also showcases the similarities of modern Thai music and western music. Overall, I am very glad that I was able to discover this Artist and encourage others to branch out and listen to more of their music. Sunrise is also one of my favorites:)
