a wave, a mouth; is a postdisciplinary composer, recording artist and spatial practitioner, living and working in London and Taipei. Informed by their personal experiences, as well as their research in Architecture, phenomenology and cosmology, their work traces the continuous process of constructing a coherent sense of reality from the relationship between their self and the world. Contained therein is a challenge to hegemonic perspectives that are foundations for realities of unjustified hierarchy, and an examination of their own agency and complicity within those systems.

Using both acoustic and synthetic instrumentation, as well as recordings of their voice and in the field, aw,am;’s compositions oscillate between the familiar and the nameless, sometimes diaphanous and unresolved, sometimes harmonic and grounded, but always swaying back and forth on the thin edge between certainty and ambiguity. This constant disruption to familiar sensations and the resulting shift of perceptions reveals the dreamlike, poetic quality of leaving a predetermined frame of reference, and entering a liminal space of evolving meaning and possibilities. As such, it signifies the radically hopeful potential to craft new realities from the embrace of complete indeterminacy.
