TEMPO.wav MAGAZINE

Your music scene matters — Your Hometown Music Media

TEMPO.wav is a decentralized, slow music media platform from Chiang Mai, Thailand, dedicated to documenting and archiving hometown music scenes that are often overlooked by mainstream media. Through bilingual, print-only publications like the collectible .wav magazine and free monthly .wav (un)zine, the project captures the untold stories, spaces, and people behind local music cultures across Thailand and beyond.

With the campaign running from 5 April - 5 June, 2025, and a goal of THB 200,000, TEMPO.wav aims to produce 3 issues of each publication to preserve music history before it disappears. It's a call to see music not just as entertainment, but as cultural infrastructure—one that shapes memory, identity, and community across hometowns.

VIEW FROM THE BUS TOUR x TEMPO.life - moving through soundscapes

A move through the soundscapes of singer/songwriter “Fender” Thanaphol Chumkhammool, with his solo project ‘View From the Bus Tour’. – A young yet seasoned musician in Chiang Mai’s indie scene, he shares with us memories of childhood and his move through life as a songwriter.

THE DREAM, time is TEMPO.

TEMPO.wav is a collective of music lovers – we want friends to tap into the tempo of Chiang Mai’s music scene.

TEMPO in musical terms measures TIME or ‘rhythm’. It’s the language musicians communicate while co-creating. “Tempo” is the backbone of music – no matter who you are; a musician or not, or even deaf; still, you feel ‘rhythm’.

We all can create music and tap along with ‘tempo’.

Our team wants to synchronize the Chiang Mai music scene with the world. We believe that its rhythm resonates anywhere. We feel music, and the rhythm lives in us.
