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 albums with independent music 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 experimental Vietnamese composer Vu Nhat Tan in performances and studio recordings. From 2010 – 2019 he worked on a lyric-documentary process in the China – Southeast Asia border zone, using poetry and photography to document and express the terms of increasing militarization, autocracy, and environmental degradation both in this region and globally. In 2023 Ezell held an artist residency position at a national university in Taiwan, and now lives in among Mayan indigenous artists in the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico.
