Ross Alley Music (2023)

for live coding, percussion quartet and video

Open studio at 41 Ross, San Francisco Chinatown by Brian Chan, Lei-lei Hoi, Louis Siu and Austin Yip on 5 November, 2022.

Screened in Black Box Theatre, Kwai Tsing Theatre on 20 April, 2023 during TICA Festival.

While curating Ross Alley Music, there were a few problems,

  • How shall we present our work-in-progress during the opening hours of the studio, while at the same time engaging our audience?
  • How shall we incorporate live music, sampled soundscape, and an ongoing pulse for audience to participate?
  • How shall we react to audience’s participation?

and we managed to respond by Ross Alley Music.
