EMACM in Malaysia

Traveling in Malaysia is fascinating and exciting.  There are some of the world’s most vibrant and happening cities, offering a host of attractions, constant entertainment, and fabulous people watching.  There are also plenty of natural areas, including the magnificent beaches, to offer a gorgeous sense of escape from the everyday world.  It’s tropical weather and amazing cuisine seem designed to lure every guest into coming back.  It’s certainly worth repeat trips, because there is always something new that is happening, and it’s also hard to get too much of a good thing.  You may come to believe that the good life was, in fact, invented right here.  There are plenty of restaurants, shopping centers, and luxury hotels.  Malaysia has it all, and it’s all right here at your fingertips.

Getting into the local culture is the best way to understand a place, and one of the fastest ways is through art.  Live entertainment offers you the chance to see some fantastic work, but also to become part of a local culture, the audience, even if it’s only temporary.  Heisenberg or the Buddha spoke about how our participation in the world affects it, and our perceptions can shape it, and here you can see this at work when you take part in an art event.  If you haven’t experienced this before, you certainly could at an event that’s connected to EMACM.

The acronym stands for Experimental Musicians and Artists Co-Operative Malaysia, and they’re an organization based in Cheras, and they do a wide variety of projects.  They serve as the sponsors to support and produce unusual art and sound projects that have had difficulties getting produced in the past, or because of their experimental nature, are having trouble finding venues and funding.  The talent is very high here, and they have an array of interesting collaborators and circle of artists they work with, and it’s absolutely worth checking out.  If you want to see how perceptions create realities in art, it’s a great place to begin, and if you’re looking for the cutting edges of Malaysia, this is where you might start seeing interesting rabbits worth chasing.
