Air sampling is a series of performances in which a sound source is sampled and distributed in space.
In this performance #005, 王燕 Wang Yan improvises on a Guzheng, a classical Chinese instrument. Playing with the new instrument Spatial Sampler XR, Greg Beller records and spreads the sound in space. Improvised musical choreography makes sound tangible, and makes it possible to touch “thoughts” – Si Xu.
