Clarinet, Electronic Sound, and Live Visual Art in Dialogue
An Immersive Interdisciplinary Experience
Featured Artists:
Sam Hikari — Live Visual Art
Yu-Ting Cheng — Clarinet
Kaiwei (Calvin Kai-Wei Chang) — Electronic Music
Between The Bars invites audiences into an intimate, immersive encounter where live electronic music, clarinet, and real-time visual art come together in a dynamic exploration of sound, image, and technology.
Featuring visual and interactive media artist Sam Hikari, clarinetist Yu-Ting Cheng, and electronic musician and producer Kaiwei (Calvin Kai-Wei Chang), this interdisciplinary performance bridges acoustic expression, experimental electronics, and immersive visual environments.
Blending music inspired by Taiwanese folk melodies with elements of industrial, noise, ambient, and electronic dance music, the performance brings traditional musical influences into dialogue with the expressive voice of the clarinet and contemporary electronic sound. These evolving sonic textures unfold alongside live visual artistry exploring light, space, movement, and digital imagery.
Experience the artists up close as sound and visuals evolve in dialogue, creating an unpredictable, multisensory journey that challenges the boundaries between music, visual art, and technology.
General Admission: $20 (Wine and snack will be served)
