出生於加拿大，居住於台北。

我感興趣不同感知的相容性，用聽覺去看，用觸覺去聽，用視覺去碰，以此類推。我的創作過程很直覺， 不同元素回應彼此的物質性和記憶，慢慢轉化，形成新的意義。 我的藝術基礎來自抽象繪畫以及合唱音樂，這兩種媒介深深影響我的思考方式。本次表演名為 Night Broadcast。

紐約普拉特學院藝術學士，兩千年末參與北京長征計劃，個人展演作品曾發表於台北失聲祭，南海藝廊，TamtamART，明日音樂祭；並為天語公社成員之一。 2013 年起， 出沒於網絡虛實地帶，以 lololol 的分身拓展另一種可能。作品曾入圍 2013 年義大利 Arte Laguna 古那國際藝術獎 - 表演類。

Born in Vancouver, Canada. Lives in Taipei, Taiwan.

I am interested in the synthesis between the senses, I often use my hearing to make visual decisions, use touch to make aural decisions, use sight to make textual decisions. My art process is metabolic, elements take time to respond to each other, forming new meanings in every stage of development. I intuitively work with found material and respond to their history and material nature. My art foundation is in abstract painting and choral music, these two art mediums deeply influence my cognitive process. This performance at Ting Shuo is called Night Broadcast.

Sheryl Cheung completed her BFA at Pratt Institute in 2004 . She participated in the Beijing Long March project between 2008-2012. Her solo performance works have been presented at Lacking Sound Festival in Taipei, Nanhai Gallery, TamtamART, T-Fest; and she is a member of “Thian gí kong siā”. Since 2013, she expanded her possibilities, wandering in the virtual lands of the internet with the clone identity “lololol”. Her performance has been nominated for Arte Laguna Art Prize in 2013.

秦相太，1975年首爾出生，1998開始創作音樂。從2003年受即興音樂和噪音音樂啟發，決定改變音樂創作方式。他的創作基本，對於重新組裝生活中非樂器的材料有興趣。自從他開始即興表演，他便使用電腦硬碟為主要樂器，由當時他在首爾的電子市場裡工作引發靈感。他另外也以筆電、收音機和電子或原音汽車喇叭來即興。最近他正在接近並研究「平日工作和藝術創作的中間點」。其中一個例子，是他從2015年開始的作曲創作「年」- 每日錄音1分鐘的創作。

在2008年他因大友良英的空間「GRID605」所啟發，創立了名為「dotolim」- 韓國第一個即興/實驗音樂的表演空間。他已經在 dotolim 舉辦了近百場的現場表演和錄音場次。在2012和2013年，他各
舉辦了為期三天以即興和實驗音樂的音樂節「Dotolimpic」，共邀請了30多位藝術家，並有20位工作坊參與者。

Jin Sangtae was born in Seoul, 1975. He started making music in 1998. Inspired by improvised music and noise music in 2003, he decided to change musical direction. He is interested in reconstruction of non-instrumental material from his life experience. Working at an electronic market in Seoul, he began using mechanical computer hard drives for improvised music and this has become his main instrument. In addition, he uses laptop, radio and electronic/acoustic car horns. His recent project has been approaching and researching a ‘middle point between daytime job and artworks’. One result of this approach has been his composition, ‘Year’ - daily 1 minute recordings since 2015. 

Inspired by Otomo Yoshihide’s space ‘GRID605’ in Tokyo, Jin Sangtae founded a space called ‘dotolim’ in 2008 that was the first concert venue for improvised/experimental music in Korea. Since then, over 100 concerts and recording sessions have been held. In 2012 and 2013, 3-day festivals named ‘dotolimpic’ were held with more than 30 participating artists and 20 workshop participants.

Drift is a free fall album consisting of three compositions invoking a sense of hovering expansion. Deeply spacious yet tightly compacted sound movements create holding patterns that slowly shift and evolve.

Cycles fall in and out of sync while atmospheres envelope time, appearing on the periphery before being subsumed back into space. The compositions utilize modified alto saxophone with spring reverb attachment, synthesizers, percussion, field recordings and electronic processing.

The saxophone is played with an acoustic spring reverberation preparation to produce multiple feedback tones, pitch beating and metallic distortion. Using sampling and pitch shifting techniques, the instrument and its presence of breath act as the glue that binds the pieces.

VALE SEAN BAXTER 
1970-2020

We are crushed by the terrible news of Sean's passing. The Melbourne (and all over) experimental / improvised / noise scene took a huge blow just a few days before the start of the confinement, with the passing of legendary drummer, noise artist, curator, DIY stalwart, lover and enthusiast for all things strange, fukkd and brutal Sean Baxter.
I made a radio show of his music, with a few anecdotes, stories and quotes thrown in. If anyone is involved in radio, online or otherwise, and wants to get it aired please feel free to download to get the files.
