Biography
“Code had a heart, maybe even a soul, when
Lou scanned for life and structures within
independent and interacting systems.”
Austin Chronicle
Byrke Lou produces site-specific sound art, which includes live-coded music. This means writing code, which in real-time is translated into electronic music. In her production process Byrke Lou uses field recordings, as well as the latest possibilities of sound synthesis such as artificial intelligence. She builds sensors and instruments, which she uses to record and produce sounds. Her performances frequently include these custom electronic instruments, as well as traditional music instruments. Often a choreography with dancers from various street styles is part of her work.
Her performances and her sound work explore life in future, virtual worlds. Performances of the artist often include translations between virtual and physical spaces and happen in virtual space and physical space simultaneously.
