Bio and Contact

Scott Ezell has published ten books, released a dozen albums of original music, and exhibited photos and paintings. He studied Mandarin and lived in Asia from 1992 – 2004. He released music with independent labels in Taiwan, and became part of an Indigenous artist community on Taiwan’s Pacific coast, a 3-year period that is the basis for the narrative nonfiction book A Far Corner. From 2010 – 2012 he lived in Hanoi, and collaborated with Vietnamese composer and experimental musician Vu Nhat Tan in performances and studio recordings. From 2010 – 2019 he began a lyric-documentary process in the China – Southeast Asia border zone, to document and express the terms of increasing militarization, autocracy, and environmental degradation both in this region and globally. Ezell lived in Chiapas, Mexico from 2020 – 2022, and in 2023 held an artist residency position at a national university in Taiwan.
