How did you become Stoondio?
Composing songs has been my favorite hobby since I was in high school. Luckily, I got the opportunity to work with the Monotone Group for a time. But after landing a routine job as a graphic designer, I had to keep my music as a hobby. Then, I asked Joy, my co-worker,...
Playing traditional Thai music is how I got my start. I played ranad ek (Thai xylophone) and gong before I played guitar.
I quit traditional Thai music after seeing my friend play rock on stage. It was so cool. I wanted to have a band just like that, so I formed one with my friends in grade nine....
Has it been emotionally difficult putting on this exhibition?

How did you become Fellow Fellow?
Khao: We studied product design together at Rangsit University. We both loved the same genre of music: soul-pop like Bakery Music put out. It’s hard to find people my age who like this kind of music, because they all prefer rock bands such as Bodyslam or Big...
First off, how does it feel to be loved so much in a far-off place like Thailand?
We really had no idea that we have any fans in these parts, and I won’t really believe it till I see actual humanoids at the show. But it’s awesome if it’s true—the internet is crazy!

Tell us a bit about how ArtdeGround came into being.
I discovered lots of art galleries and stage crews around my university [Thammasat] that so many people seemed unaware of. So much of this art contained very real social and cultural value. I felt a need to get involved, so I...
What inspired you to start this bike service?
My friends and I loved to ride bicycles after work, so we thought, why not try to set up a bike messenger service just like how mail used to be delivered in the old days. We want people to be able to trust us with their belongings and to prove that...
What triggered your current tour of Asia?
A few years ago I tried to do a similar tour but it fell through. It’s exciting to play larger cities as well as less traditional ones, such as Kathmandu. Sometimes music similar to mine has never been performed in such cities. Of course it’s...
