PlaceMakingMusic (2024)
PlaceMakingMusic was made through a collaboration with ten citizens of Taipei, the Bicrophonic Research Institute (BRI), Zone Sound Creative (Taiwan), SoundLab, c-lab (Taipei), the Research Center for Music, Technology & Health at the National Tsing Hua University (Hsinchu City) and was directed by composer sound artist Kaffe Matthews (DE /UK) in collaboration with Po-Hau Chi (TW). The outcome was presented at the Wandering Music Festival, Taipei City, September 14th-15th, 2024.
With many thanks to Cécile Huang (Director Taiwan Sound Lab), Sally (Manager Taiwan Sound Lab) and the team of Sound Lab technicians.
Also to Fifi Hu and all Zone Sound Creative helpers for fixing and arranging the tech, the publicity, the delicious lunches and dinners beyond. Sukandar Kartadinata (BRI Berlin) for remote Box fixing support, Alé for stepping in when we realised we were too far east for the GPS to read, and Natashia and Momo for hosting.
Finally to Po-Hao Chi for reaching out to the BRI after first coming across the sonic bikes at NIME, Goldsmith College, London June 2013. Onwards with this process.
