Immersive concert installation inspired by the last operational barrel organ in the UK, located in the parish church of Shelland, Suffolk. Barrel organs, like player pianos, use a rotating barrel with notches to play melodies. In 1925, when an article referenced in the title was published, this particular organ had three barrels, each containing 12 tunes.

Baker’s Lung, the second event of the #musicismore series combines professional baking experience and music practice. Both music and food are communal experiences that connect us as human beings, “Baker’s Lung” aims to amplify this connection and explore the relationships between sound and the making of bread.

This piece is inspired by this process of uncovering memories through others and through self-discovery. Having immigrated to Canada from Hong Kong at age 4 with only one memory from this time, reconnecting with my nanny was a way for me to reconstruct how I navigated immigration and assimilation as a child, and to ascertain why I am the way I am.

Die Posaune (trombone in German), is an interactive sound art sculpture and performance that explores the sonic possibilities of the slide trombone as a self-generating sound object.
