Electromagnetic River (2024)

Light-Sound Performance

Spatial Audio Field, Taiwan Sound Lab, Taiwan Contemporary Culture Lab (C-LAB) 

Delving into the discovery of the differences, similarities, and the infinite possibilities in-between sound and light, Amy Chan and Kin Lam experiment in the self-built environment with homemade electronics
gadgets to unfold the “sound-lightscapes” with their imagination of the Moon and the outer-space. “Electromagnetic River” was commissioned by Contemporary Musiking Hong Kong for Sound Forms 2022: Bounding in Void, and reworked to intersect with the spatial audio field at C-LAB Taiwan Sound Lab for the 2024 Wandering Festival. Together, we will travel, spiral and oscillate together in the stream of vibrating particles and electromagnetic waves.
