attending to breathing spaces and mouth details, alice hui-sheng chang and rosalind hall experiment with
abstractions of the voice and saxophone. challenging their instruments to produce extreme timbres and intimate
textures, they use improvisation as their inspiration for performance and composition. in the six years of their
collaboration, the pair has performed locally and internationally, released a cross-continent album and exhibited
sound work for video art and multi channel installations.

on embossed tales of throats the duo continues to develop a strong improvised language that pushes and pulls at
sound playing in and outside of each other, at the acoustic resonances of their instruments and bodies, at their
shared performance histories and at creating electrified playing experiences. the duo also investigates the use
of both tape and digital recording technologies and various microphones to create changing impressions of their
sounds and inspiration for new gestures.
