about

“Sonic Animism” is a site-determined body & sound performance that investigates the state of the sentient-being on the non human agency brought by technological sonic happenings.
With bespoke software and hardware design, the framework of the performance is an artificial environmental cycle system where each element incorporates with each others in a dynamic process. It permits micro level of properties evolve to novel integrated wholes.

In a series of performances, the set-ups varies from different types of microphones and speakers. The inputs are wearable electromagnetic sensors, a pair of omnidirectional microphones, and a contact microphone. the outputs are surface transducer speakers, bluetooth speakers, and a quadrophonic sound system.

From found object’s structure-borne “tactile feedback loops”, to machine’s “electromagnetic-data feedback loops”, to body movement’s “spatial feedback loop”, these sonic manifestations emerging from various origins are inter-connected as chains of cause and effect, forming as many as 30 individual object-data-electric-body-space feedback loop: mirroring the dynamic energetic states of present time-space.

With this performance, Yang aims to blur the binary separation between the “objective existence” and the “subjective experience”. He transforms the hierarchic relationship between man and the man-made preconception of object, machines and physical phenomena into a coexistence of self-reflections within one another.

This album is based on recordings of “Sonic Animism: The Emergence of an Object & Its Space” at OUTSIDEININSIDEOUTINSIDEOUTOUTSIDEIN, Gallery Torhaus Wehlen, Germany, 2019, and “Sonic Animism: The Emergence of 30-Feedback-System” at MURMURANS MUNDUS- CENSE Annual Conference, Ústí nad Labem, Czechia, 2019, and one studio session in Prague 2019.
