Follow Your Roots

Follow Your Roots (2024) is an art exhibition organized by Neughborly, a community shop located in Huai Wang Nong, Mueang District, Ubon Ratchathani, with funding support from the Isan Architects Committee and the “ตะเข็บโขง” Architects Group.

Plern Vern Projects was founded out of the shared love and interest in music between Suthipong and Taw MaYui(Pongsak Wansri), a khaen (Isan reed mouth organ) player, who have been friends since their time studying

Plern Vern Projects is an experimental music project that fuses Isan electronic music with contemporary styles.

The project was born from a desire to present their cultural heritage in a unique way, distinct from mainstream mor lam(traditional Isan music). Thao Mah Yui, who works as a sound engineer and is an independent artist, and Suthipong, also known as LuangKhet, who works as a DJ, decided to collaborate on this music project due to their shared interests.

Plern Vern Projects aims to showcase the diversity of Isan music by integrating various elements, including soundscapes, synthesizers, and computer music production techniques.
