Wooli /無理 is an avant-garde folk duo formed by Taiwanese pipa player Fan-Qi Wu and Norwegian drummer Michael Lee Sørenmo. Since their debut in Oslo in April 2024, the duo has performed across Europe at festivals such as Aarhus Jazz Festival, Vestafor Festival, Babel Sound Festival, and (s)Nodi Festival.

Zevra is an international quartet uniting artists from Taiwan, Iran, Germany, and the United States dedicated to the evolution of improvised experimental music. Formed at the Art Omi: Music 2025 residency in New York, the ensemble combines a distinctive sonic palette of pipa, kamancheh, saxophone, and modular synthesizer, augmented by tape machines and 3D-printed instruments. Each member brings a distinct musical voice shaped by experimentation, cultural heritage, and a shared commitment to expanding the sonic possibilities of their instruments.

Blending acoustic timbres with electronics and extended techniques, Zevra experiments with proximity, silence, and density, allowing the music to unfold through sustained listening and real-time negotiation. The result is an ephemeral terrain of sound that drifts between quiet detail and immersive intensity, drawing listeners into an experience of the unexpected.

”Projecting 1+1“ is a pipa and field recording project that I have been doing since 2024 Fall. This project explores the everyday sounds of Taiwan by integrating them with electronic music and live pipa performance to create a new series of compositions. Using field recordings collected across Taiwan—from natural environments to daily conversations—I tried to transform these sounds into musical material that interacts with the pipa’s distinctive timbre and techniques.
