this article is in 3/19 new yorker:

article says the guy played cbgb's so i guessed this was the john hong that writes reviews sometimes. something about this building design says the guy records music.
anyone? andy hong?

p.s. favorite john hong quote: 'Are you a Nomadic- Utopist? A true "N-UT" believes that utopia is not fixed in space and time, but can occur anywhere, anytime, and anyplace... and in a blink of an eye, that moment might be gone!'

even if your john hong is not the guy in the article, i still want him to design my house.

John, along with Jinhee Park, Erik Carlson, and John's brother Andy (TapeOp's own), designed Verdant, my studio in Vermont. They did an amazing job; they're incredibly talented and fine people.

My brother John was in a number of bands, including the original incarnation of Purple Ivy Shadows as well as the DC post-punk band Jesus Wept (back when the guys in the contemporary hardcore band of the same name were playing foursquare and dodgeball during school recess).

John's an amazing musician and a fantastic recordist; he makes great music! Oh, and he's an awesome architect too.
