Dino, aka Liao Ming-ho (1976-2022), was a noise artist, guqin (an ancient stringed Chinese musical instrument) maker and performer based in Taipei. Once a bassist of 夾子電動大樂隊 (the Clippers Band), he was a seminal figure in the second wave of the noise movement in Taiwan during the late-1990s. He used simple analogue equipment to create electronic sound with no input, which is known as ‘recycle music’, by generating loops from circuitry noise, static, or microphone feedback. In recent years, Dino participated in experimental films and live music production for the theatre. He was awarded Best Sound Effects in Taipei Film Festival (2003).
