When I choose to listen to a sound, it seems the sound chooses to listen back, or maybe it is the other way around?
What lies in the space between objects, bodies, and environments begin to build a reciprocal listening attentions?
When I record, I sometimes ask: What is this particular sound listening to, before or after I press the record button?
And how might this sonic reciprocity build a channel that destabilizes the ego and invites co-authorship with an invisible world to discover the missing attention?
My laboratory includes feedback system of numerous types of speakers, microphones, gyroscopic sensors, electro magnetic field, gravity, site-found objects, software and hardware synthesizers, and wearable inputs and outputs that translate bodily orientation into growing sonic organism.
By playing the varieties that engage, drift, improvise, glitch then argue back until the point where hidden questions arise from pursued conclusions and outgrown answers.
YANG, Cheng is a Berlin-based composer and experimental sound performer from Taichung, Taiwan.
