Originally birthed from playing with the concept of the Molecular Music Box by Dr Duncan Lockerby (University of Warwick), the piece slowly developed into a glitch piece with inspirations drawn from Alva Noto as well as Autechre. The visual aesthetic was developed long before the music but only really started to take its form with the different musical elements.


Using angles as the focal point, the algorithms generate labyrinthine shapes and patterns based on frequency, tempo and amplitude live.

From the early works of electronic music pioneer Pierre Shaeffer to DJ Premier’s sampling to Amon Tobin’s ISAM (“Invented Sound Applied to Music”), musique concrète has existed in the various forms over the centuries.

This piece is collectively influenced by the musical stylistic features of the 3 mentioned above. The musical vocabulary include live improvisation, beat-matching to sample manipulation.

TIME LINE is an audiovisual performance by sonic artist, Amon Wong. TIME LINE is the chronicle of his academic journey through his years in LASALLE.  Every piece is sequentially more complex than the other and this live performance explores the integration of sound and visuals controlled by algorithm sequencing in real-time on stage. TIME LINE draws musical inspiration from glitch, IDM, progressive and ambient music and relates them in a visual form that blurs the boundary between the two creative fields.

Drawing from his 3 years of lessons from various acclaimed lecturers, Amon seeks to immerse his audience with an audiovisual experience that draws from multiple genres of electronic music and visual artists.
