A structured sound improvisation
Till Bovermann, Chi-Hsia Lai (2011)
Improvising along an augmented score, the two artists perform with their very own multi-channel setups.
Chi-Hsia wears a custom-made wristwatch-like device, allowing her to control live electronic parameters by directional and positional information. Her percussive sounds are picked up with microphones, and processed in real-time.
Till plays Rob Hordijk’s Benjolin fed through Callum Goddard’s AutoSpatialisation, a probabilistic engine that controlles audio-rate spatialisation.

Percussionist/media artist Chi-Hsia Lai was born in Taichung, Taiwan. Chi-Hsia has a strong interest in expanding her performance experience beyond playing conventional percussive instruments. After her undergraduate studies in percussion performance, Chi-Hsia undertook postgraduate studies in New Media Art at ANU in Australia. Currently Chi-Hsia is a doctoral student at the Media Lab, Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture in Helsinki, where she investigates into media performance spaces.
