Y Spy: Vienna Teng Is Vanishing
This weekend’s Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle will serve as the last performance by pianist Vienna Teng before she leaps into her new life as a graduate student. The music world would do well to be envious. Over the past decade Teng has amassed a catalogue of heartwrenching songs spanning the gaps between pop, folk, and classical music. With producer Alex Wong being made an equal partner, the duo recently released The Moment Always Vanishing, a magnificent live album which expands Teng’s established songs into full-live orchestrations. It’s a fine (and hopefully very temporary) stopping point.
With Wong popping in to expand upon a few points, Vienna Teng discussed the formation of their team, making the live album, and walking away.
