ลำธาร หาญตระกูล Lamtharn Hantrakul a.k.a "yaboihanoi" is a Composer, Director and AI Research Scientist from Bangkok who is challenging Southeast Asian traditions through a synthesis of electronic music, machine learning and mixed-media reimaginations of Thai culture. Across sound, dance and design, his solo and collaborative projects collapse binaries between the traditional and modern, the young and old, and confront algorithms that choreograph which cultures are celebrated and forgotten.

As an engineer, Lamtharn has over 7 years of coding experience in the US and Chinese Tech industries, where he developed state-of-the-art generative AI models for Google, ByteDance and TikTok. As an artist, his music under the moniker 'ญาบอยฮานอย yaboihanoi' is known for an uncompromising use of Thai tunings and rhythms. In 2022, he won the international AI Song Contest with his track "อสุระเทวะชุมนุม Enter Demons and Gods". His most recent production, กินรีหนีไฟ Flight of Kinaree, was recently premiered at the Goethe Institute Thailand (2026) and received a standing ovation at the Royal Opera House in the UK (2026).

Lamtharn's unique vision on how machine learning can empower culture and respect local traditions has been covered by international media including WIRED, Deutschlandfunk, Scientific American and Fast Company. He has received commissions from renowned Thai artists including Pinaree Sanpitak, Pichet Klunchun and Saran Yen Panya for pieces showcased at the Bangkok Arts Biennale (2022), Taiwan International Festival for the Arts (2024), INTUR (2024), Holland Festival (2025) and solo works for the Goethe Institute Thailand (2025, 2026), SONAR (2025) and Royal Opera House (2026).
