在高雄出生，居住於柏林的作曲、表演家 Johnny Chang 張釗漢，專注於延伸探索有關聲音/聆聽的關係，以及介於即興、作曲和表演之間的領域。他大學在紐西蘭奧克蘭學習音樂，主修小提琴(奧克蘭大學音樂學士)。在2000至2006年間，他在美國加洲藝術學院 (CalArts) 修習碩士，研究「當代表演」和「作曲」。身為作曲家和表演者，他曾於歐洲許多藝術節、紐西蘭、澳洲、紐約以及韓國表演。

自2010年11月，Johnny Chang 和 Koen Nutters 開始共同策劃一系列 Konzert Minima 音樂會，呈現以 Wandelweiser 音樂為表達形式的表演和活動。Wandelweiser 於1992年在歐洲成立，是一支國際性的作曲/表演團體。根據核心的藝術家Radu Malfatti，Wandelweiser的音樂是關於「靜默(Silence(s)) 的重新定義和整理實踐，反平常一連串持續且無止盡的聲音表現」。約翰凱奇 John Cage 在Wandelweiser扮演重要的概念人物，他們的音樂通常被認為是「靜默音樂」。從約翰凱奇的4分33秒作品出發，這是在法國創作者 Alphonse Allais 的作品 Marche Funebre 後，第一首以大量的靜默為主要作品構成元素。

這次他將演出兩首當代作曲曲目：Michael Pisaro 的 Transparent City (2) 和 Phill Niblock 的 Two Blooms。

Born in Kaohsiung, Berlin-based composer-performer Johnny Chang engages in extended explorations surrounding the relationships of sound/listening and the in-between areas of improvisation, composition and performance. He studied Music in Auckland, New Zealand with focus on Violin (University of Auckland, Bachelor of Music). For his Masters degree, he focused on “Contemporary Performance” and “Composition” at CalArts (California Institute of Arts, Valencia, California) between 2000-2006. As composer and performer, his articulated performances have been featured in many festivals across Europe, and New Zealand, Australia, as well as New York and Seoul.

Since November 2010, Johnny Chang and Koen Nutters initiated and co-curated concert series Konzert Minimal which presents performances and events centered around the music of the Wandelweiser group. The Wandelweiser Group is an international group of composers/performers founded in 1992 in Europe. According to one of the core artist Radu Malfatti, Wandelweiser music is about "the evaluation and integration of silence(s) rather than an ongoing carpet of never-ending sounds”. John Cage is a figure of central importance to the Wandelweiser composers; their music is often referred to as "silent music," taking as its starting point Cage’s work 4'33", the first composition to consist largely of silence, after the "Marche Funebre" by the Frenchman Alphonse Allais.
