Samson Young (City Univ. Hong Kong) Lecture-Concert: Introduction to recent works and performance of "pulse radio II"

ABOUT Composer, sound artist and media artist Samson Young will talk about his recent works, including the "Anatomy of the String Quartet" touring project. "The Anatomy of a String Quartet" is an essay on the potentials of media technology as tools for augmenting, extending and reconfiguring the musician’s body. The Anatomy of a String Quartet, at its core, is performance-installation with/through a “prosthetically amplified” string quartet. Each member of the quartet is monitored by a multitude of sensing apparatus, from eye tracking glasses to brainwave sensors. He will conclude his presentation with a 25-minutes laptop improvisation "pulse radio II."

BIO Hong Kong-based composer and media artist Samson Young’s creative outputs manifest in a variety of media and across disciplinary divide.
