Lucia Chung
Sound Arts Visiting Practitioners Series
Taiwanese experimental artist based in London. Performs and releases music under the alias ‘encreux’.
Lucia Chung is a Taiwanese artist based in London, UK. She performs and releases music under the alias ‘en creux’ where the sound creation springs from her fascinations in noise generated via feedback on digital and analogue equipment, and her role as a‘mediator-performer’ in the multifaceted relationship between the sonic events incurring within the self-regulated system. She also works as a broadcaster and an independent curator at Happened.

The album contains two aspects which depict deficiency and excess, respectively: the first is a semi-solid hum that glows on the edge of becoming, and the second is a harsh hum that squeezes into excess until it twists. Balance and stillness, easily associated with buzzing, are therefore an illusion — merely implying the counteracting of these balance deviations, represented as a non-state composed of effort, arriving at a silent pause between these two skilfully manipulated tilts.

I like Jessica Ellis’ statement. The idea that Sound Arts ‘reaches out to the art world in a new and distinct way’ is quite exciting! It doesn’t taste like stale bread! When we don’t have strong etiquette and formalities in navigating the field we can explore and discover with innocence and freshness, making Sound Arts a powerful force. This too shall pass?
I agree that sound stirs biological roots. It makes me think about the emotional reaction to sounds. Is the reaction from our own personal history, or is there a longer ancestral history involved in our perception of sounds?
I wonder how we can explore the sources of the “thousand feelings in a thousand people’s ears” in a sound project, that listens and amplifies the interior back into the world. Maybe we can sing!
