Bio
Yang Cheng is a Berlin-based sound performer and experimental composer from Taiwan.
He draws inspiration from a diverse range of listening sources, including found objects, field recordings, musical instruments, and electric magnetic fields, to weave hidden connections between seemingly disparate elements.
Cheng's compositions and performances are characterized by their ambient sensitivity and the use of raw, subtle, and nuanced distorted soundscapes that gradually evolve through time and space. Aiming to engage in an experiential journey with live improvisation, Cheng employs material simplicity and shaping sound with a delicate contact of body awareness, amplifying the unseen and unheard matter into a tangible experience through loudspeakers.
