Kuala Lumpur is one of the most unusual places on earth, with a vibrant city scene that speaks to a splendid mix of cultures and traditions.  There are multiple realities that exist simultaneously here, and it’s evidenced in the art as well as the cuisine.  This makes it a particularly good place for travelers, since the culture is visible, and it’s possible to have an entirely other-worldly experience, while also enjoying many of the amenities and conveniences of home.  For all the things that a tourist can find in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, hotel accommodations are some of the most attractive offerings, because they can offer a beautiful center for all your new adventures here.

There is a concentrated effort here to blend culture and sensibility in the lodgings, so that the fantastic appeal of the city can greet you first thing in the morning.  Waking up in splendor is always a nice way to begin a day, especially in a foreign country, refreshing your spirit so you can begin your day in style.  Touring the city is a heady experience, with many different smells and colors that make it unusually attractive, and it’s obvious that there are spectacular treasures to be found here.  Some of the treasures can only be enjoyed in the moment, and for all the sights and smells, there are beautiful sounds here as well.

One of Malaysia’s most interesting emerging sound artists is Goh Lee Kwang, whose music is enormously interesting.  It’s like an electronic mediation on city life and global identity.  He is based in Penang and Germany, and plays all over this region as well as in Europe.  His sound stylings are used in theatrical performances, dance concerts, and well as video scores, and he performs here frequently.  It’s worth looking for, because his techniques are extremely innovative, and he’s making some interesting new works that push the form into the future.  His label, Herbal, is based in Kuala Lumpur, and is one of the major producers for new experimental music.
