		Hwang often plays at a faster clip than Duval and his playing seems full of anguish.
		When all of this comes together, the effect is that of Hwang sounding like a young person desperately needing advice and who gets get very true bits of wisdom wrapped in the opposite of empathy from an elder played by Duval.
		Hwang doesn't seem to respond to the advice very well and the two sound like they are arguing about some detail for much of The Experiment.

	Sequenza21/The Contemporary Classical Music Weekly
		Jason Kao Hwang self-identifies, vigorously and defensively, as a �downtown jazz composer/violinist�; perhaps he fears that his street cred will be tarnished by his having written an Opera, for that is what The Floating Box sets out to be.
		It tells the story of a Chinese mother and daughter living in New York�s Chinatown and struggling with assimilation into American culture, guided by the ghost of the family�s father (a famous erhu player in China).
		Hwang goes all in with the idea that stylistic juxtaposition � not only of European and Chinese instruments, idioms and traditions, but of such intra-Western genres as blues, jazz, Broadway, and so on � is the way to represent the cultural disorientation of the protagonists.

	Jason Kao Hwang \| Edge
		Hwang's searing Asiatic tone cuts effortlessly through this miasma, underscored by deep, menacing undulations from Bynum's ghostly overblown flugelhorn.
		Haunting and otherworldly, Bynum's lower register moaning, Hwang's acerbic, soaring solo and the rhythm section's furious pummeling commingle in primal, ritualistic furor.
		Hwang's writing embraces freewheeling improvisation and rigid through-written composition in equal measure, allowing ample room for interpretation.

	CD Review of Dominic Duval and Jason Kao Hwang - The Experiment on Blue Jackel Entertainment @ jazzreview.com
		The dedication to the solvency of sound that Dominic Duval and Jason Kao Hwang have manifested is solid, strong, and extremely moving.
		Dominic is on Hutchins bass and Jason on violin.
		The underlayment that the bass provides for the violin is almost inseparable from the performance of the violin: which is to chart the threads for the intense interweaving of high and low notes.

	sOuNDz IMPOSSIBLE
		Roy Campbell, William Hooker, and Jason Hwang in a collaborative effort that braids three of this music's most distinctive sounds into a single stream of heightened awareness and emapthy.
		This recording documents one of the amazing Transparent Productions presented at Sangha -- a fair trade outpost that has developed into a communal ceremonial grounds in the bosom of (the Peoples Republic of) Takoma Park, just outside of Washington, D.C. in the immediate aftermath of the reinstallation of the Bush regime.
		Campbell inevitably occupies much of the frontscape, with the fiddle yawning and wailing behind like a bass player with a bank of pedals, but Hwang has a formidable musical mind and his more detailed passages demand close listening.

	Hwang, Jason Kao: The Floating Box: A Story In Chinatown: Squidco
		The story of Eva/Yee-Wa, a young Chinese-American woman living with her mother, is the story of many diasporic peoples who have sought a better life in new, often harsh surroundings.
		The poetry of Filloux's libretto fuses perfectly with Hwang's eclectic score, beautifully capturing the complex, intimate relationships among these three characters.
		The opera employs both Chinese and Western instruments in an ensemble of eight players: piccolo/flute/alto flute; Bb clarinet/bass clarinet; vibraphone; pipa (Chinese lute); accordion; percussion, including Tibetan chimes and singing bowls, whirling air tubes, Chinese tom toms, and a Buddhist fan drum; erhu/gaohu/zhonghu (a family of two-stringed Chinese violins categorized as huqin); and cello.

		A recent review in the International Record Review states: "most inspired of all is his (Hwang's) use of the accordion to provide the harmonic filling: and in this he is served by the admirable William Schimmel, whose subtlety is in itself one of the highlights of the recording."
		Jason Kao Huang worked closely with Schimmel in developing this intricate part and Mr.
		Huang uses it as a bridge between his scoring for western instruments as well as traditional Chinese instruments such as the erhu and the pipa.

		It may make the answer as to who is an American composer all the more difficult to answer, but no one can dispute the fact that composers of Chinese heritage are honing the cutting edge of America's new music scene with some exceptionally vibrant, emotive, exciting and heady music.
		Make no doubt about it, Byron Au Yong, Fred Ho, Jason Kao Hwang and Jon Jang are all Americans.
		Violinist and composer Jason Hwang seems to know no musical limits, having his feet in film soundtracks (Kundun), jazz jams (Reggie Workman and Anthony Braxton), dance scores (Nai-ni Chen), Broadway (M Butterfly), composer-performer ensembles (The Far East Side Band) and the uncategorizable (Music for Homemade Instruments).

		Dominic Duval and Jason Kao Hwang produce hair-raising, ear-bending music of such unrelenting intensity that they almost make Nine Inch Nails sound like an easy-listening group by comparison.
		Like their previous collaborators, who range from Pauline Oliveros and Cecil Taylor to Henry Threadgill and Joe McPhee, this dynamic duo thrives on creating challenging, often-unsettling music that demands attentive listening.
		But those who make the effort will discover an ingenious method -- and a strange but striking beauty -- to Duval and Hwang's musical madness.

	Climbing The Banyan Tree : Ravish Momin's Trio Tarana : CD Reviews : One Final Note
		They pour these influences into the mold of a jazz trio with Jason Kao Hwang’s dark, plaintive violin the lead voice, Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz mixing the traditional acoustic bass with the oud, and Momin eliciting a shifting fabric of tone and rhythm from a trap set that links the far-flung influences of his bandmates.
		For his part Hwang favors the lower strings of his violin, so much so that he sounds like he’s playing viola.
		He incorporates the oud into the sound in such a way that it seems the most natural thing to be jamming on the ancient lute.
