i engage with experimental music, improvisation, and audio programming as a way to think and explore new sound experiences.
// as a non-native english speaker, i embrace the ambiguity in my language here. english speakers might find my expressions unconventional, and native chinese or other language speakers might see them as unclear. in this uncertain space, unexpected overlaps may emerge, forming a discontinuous resonance.
recently working on...
i put my most recent tracks here because they feel closest to where i am right now. they’re unreleased—I’m not sure what happens next. they might blend into other works, evolve into something else, or simply remain as they are.
as xxorx plays with how sound moves and mutates—fragments, patterns, densities...,xxory focuses on the overlap and tension between the organic and the logical. there will be a live gig of xxory in may, at my favorite venue, 隔壁, in yiwu, china, so i’ve been preparing for that recently as well.
getting deeper with...
over the past year, i’ve been working to consolidate and deepen my knowledge of digital audio, primarily through maxmsp. recently, i followed the structure of the computer music tutorial to fill my theoretical and technical gaps, creating patches focused on topics like mixing and signal processing. for filters and delay lines, i studied generating sound and organizing time, using gen~ to build sample-accurate patches. i’ve found all of these topics deeply engaging—and they feel like a perfect entry point into exploring the complexities of reverb topologies.
next, i plan to explore ircam libraries—bach and cage for composition, mubu for analysis and resynthesis, and spat5 for spatialization. i also need to familiarize myself with writing daisy code and working with rnbo. however, since daisy is a bit pricey and hard to find here, I may eventually return to esp32.
