ROOM 2

2004“The Red House Action” (Analog Music/Digital Music)

“i was invited by “Sounding Taipei 2004 – International Technology Art Festival” to play electronic music,and i found my name on the playlist after Carl Stone , and right before Francisco Lopez, and i thought of playing something else than laptop music ,and make a joke about the “technology art” … then i invited Shao-Yin as the main animator,help me to direct the audiences to play 4 noise instruments (distributed to the audiences during the performance) according to his signals with different flags: this is so called 4 bit digital music …. together with the 50 meters long plastic bag tube with written notation and “lyric” transferred from stage to the audience seat, left the notation open to audience interpretations, this is what we called the analogical part of it…. the result is a mixure of insultings and spontaneous noise making from the crowd…(Lin-chi-wei) ”
