Tomorrow you are welcome to THREADING, a festival of soft learning and boundary-pushing performances & works in electronic music and new media art.
We look forward to seeing you<3 There will be light snacks provided during the workshops and talks.
For hellocatfoods workshop please bring a laptop and headphones, and for Post-Organic Bauplan wear comfortable clothing as it involves some movement.
For THREADING, Lu will present a concert performance and an artist talk on custom instruments that use the body as resonator, filter, and feedback system. Through works that route microphone-speaker feedback through and around the body, Lu explores sounding from the inside out, where flesh, breath, cavity, and machine become one unstable instrument.
Qiujiang Levi Lu / 卢秋江 is an experimental musician, media artist, and composer based in the United States. Their work invents electroacoustic instruments that treat the body as resonator, membrane, filter, and site of rupture. Through custom systems such as an intraoral microphone-speaker feedback instrument and an amplified laptop instrument, Lu builds performances that blur the edges of body, machine, and sound.
Drawing from Chinese lineages, noise, improvisation, and embodied technology, Lu creates charged sonic environments where listening becomes physical, intimate, and unstable. Their work moves through queerness, body dysmorphia, spirituality, and transformation, often staging sound as something that passes through the body rather than simply being produced by it.
Lu has presented work internationally at MATA Festival, Send + Receive, High Zero, IRCAM Forum, Kallelse Festival, and e-flux. They are a Second Prize winner of the International Electronic Music Competition (2023), an EY Emergent Futures Fellow, an incubator member at NEW INC, and a lecturer in music at the University of Pennsylvania.
