en creux
Lucia H Chung is a Taiwanese artist based in London, United Kingdom. She performs and releases music under the alias ‘en creux’ where sound creation springs from her interests and fascinations in the inherent noise floor within audio equipment. She uncovers and reveals such hidden noise via her manipulations with no-input feedback mixing. The volatile nature of feedback and the unpredictable glitch from the excessive energy generated within the equipment becomes her improvisational and compositional strategy. As the word ‘en creux’ suggests, she summons a hollowed out, reversed form of sound from the mixing console.
Lucia’s passion lies in live performance and has regularly performed solo and with collaborators in the UK, Europe, Asia and North America, including Lausanne Underground Film and Music Festival (CH), Krama Festival (GR), Lisboa Soa Festival (PT), Sanatorium of Sound Festival (PL), Festival Electropixel (FR), Sonorities Festival (NI) and Through the Floor Festival (UK).
She also works as a broadcaster and an independent curator at Happened. She has curated and organised residency programmes and music events around the UK and Europe, including 3-month Taiwanese Experimental Music residency for Music Hackspace at Somerset House Studios, Inland virtual residency between Lacking Sound Fest. (Taiwan) and IKLECTIK (UK), and a panel discussion Going Platinum! on video game music as part of Grounding Practice at Somerset House Studios.
