Join us in the WGXC Catskill Studio on Saturday, October 24th from 2pm to 3pm for an Artist Talk and Live Broadcast from Wave Farm's inaugural Spatial Artist-in-Residence, Qiujiang Levi Lu.

While in residence, Lu will work on Tangible Soundscape, a spatial sound installation and compositional experiment that redefines magnetic tape as a two-dimensional recording surface. Instead of treating tape as a linear medium that stores sound in a single forward-moving direction, Lu works with it as spatial material that can be cut, shaped, arranged, and drawn across a flat plane.

Qiujiang Levi Lu 卢秋江 is an experimental musician, media artist, and composer whose work explores the body as a site of sonic transformation. Through custom electroacoustic instruments, feedback systems, and cyborg-like bodily augmentations, Lu creates performances and installations that merge ritual, noise, intimacy, and embodied technology. Drawing from Chinese lineages while engaging queerness, spirituality, and body dysmorphia, Lu’s practice invites audiences into physical and unstable modes of listening. Their work has been presented internationally at MATA Festival, send + receive, High Zero, IRCAM Forum, Inkonst, Zagreb Music Academy, and Temple DongJingYuan, with commissions and support from TAK Ensemble, Popebama, Luke Helker, NEW INC, the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, ISSUE Project Room, Harvestworks, The New School, and ElektronmusikStudion Stockholm. Lu is a lecturer in music at the University of Pennsylvania and holds degrees from the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University and Stony Brook University.
