Sayang makes [club] music to prompt deeper body/brain responses and sonic experiences that encourage connection, rest and alternative perceptions of our worlds. Experiences of neurodiversity, physical disability and alternative sound processing leads their approach to timbre and pace. She has a key developmental interest in body/brain reactions to frequency and her DJ sets nod to a background in UK dubstep and techno with early music inspiration from new wave to industrial shape tonality. In all aspects, Sayang hopes to push boundaries of rest and dis/comfort, bridge new spaces, amplify and connect intersections and experiences from personal and community contexts.

Her recent project East Beat explores music from East & South East Asia and the diaspora, as heard in guest shows for Hong Kong Community Radio and Hanoi Community Radio. Kom also dabbles in sound collage and has exhibited alongside artist Dayanny So and photographer Charles Fox at the Holocaust Centre North (Huddersfield), Pink Gallery (Stockport), and Migration Matters Festival (Sheffield).
