Alex Zhang Hungtai

Zhang is a multidisciplinary artist whose main focus is on improvisation and its connection to the unconscious. After retiring from his Dirty Beaches project, Zhang has focused on exploring improvised music, free jazz and his role as a composer. In his more recent compositions, he mainly works with saxophone and drums, and delves into electronic music.

In addition to his work as a solo artist, he has also collaborated with Tashi Dorji, Che Chen, Chris Williams, Sam Shalabi, David Maranha and Gabriel Ferrandini. Zhang currently works as a composer for film, as well as an actor in independent films.

He has appeared in David Lynch's Twin Peaks: The Return alongside Dean Hurley and Riley Lynch under the fictional band Trouble. His most recent film score was for the film ‘Godland’ by Hlynur Pálmason which competed at the Cannes Film Festival Un Certain Regard.

Accessibility

The Cultural Center Oceanen is a Q-marked culturally historical building, which is challenging when it comes to accessibility. We do our best to have as many people as possible visit us. When visiting us with mobility aids the best-suited entrance is through the stage. This entrance is accessed via Gathenhielmska trädgården. The entrance is locked, please email us the day before your visit or the latest Friday at 16:00 if you are visiting us during the weekend. We have a wheelchair-accessible bathroom. Personal assistants do not need to purchase their own ticket, but we ask you to contact us in advance so we can issue a ticket for the person.
Please note that flashing lights may occur during concerts and events. For questions regarding accessibility email Mia Herman at mia@oceanen.com.
