Artist Bio

Huichun Yang (楊惠鈞) is a Taiwanese sound performer based in Providence, Rhode Island. She improvises with wooden instruments like the Arbrasson and Daxophone, alongside electronics and computer processing, transforming single gestures into spatial movement and rich textures of sound. She also explores breath and bodily tension through balloons and mouth harps, dissolving the boundaries between body, instrument, electronics, and ground. Huichun has taught live coding at the Rhode Island School of Design and has performed internationally at ICMC (Boston), Non-Event (Boston), Residual Noise (Providence), EESF (Los Angeles), and the SOUND/IMAGE Festival (London). She received a Foundation for Contemporary Arts grant in 2025.
