Biography
Where does the maximal and minimal coincide? What is the arc that traces every entity and remains itself untraceable?
Tzusing rejects music as a solution but embraces it as an experiment. There are no test cases, no controls, no statistical mean. Against the investigation of static entities, the point is rather the construction of new possibles.
Indeed, as an experimental project itself, Tzusing’s life is a series of non-convergent magnitudes, with geographical lines tracing the acceleration of Shanghai with the fragmentations of exile life in North Borneo, from the quiet of San Diego’s suburbs to metallic vibrations of Chicago’s EL.
In a first encounter with the global phenomenon of Michael Jackson, this hybrid of black American music as well as the technology of reproducible copy, the magnetic tape, provided an experience that rendered other activities obsolete. Here it was, appearing before him in its ridiculous sublimity, plastic with magic in it.
Living in the stateless state of Taiwan, new directions were forged by none other than the ubiquitous MTV. MTV then, became not reprehensible as a façade of western commercial music, but is rather commendable because of it. The juxtaposed sequences of sounds and video formed the vectors of Tzusing’s music consciousness. Any random sample of MTV Asia might be revealed to include a sequence of super-bubblegum canto-pop, white suburban heavy-metal, ghettocentric rap from Compton, Reggae from the UK, no recursive function can be drawn to account for such properties. The hyperfluidity of Tzusing’s early “listening” sessions at home provided thus for the schizo-multiplication of musical interests and direction.
With the 00’s came a number of major encounters. Early exposure to the music of Steve Reich gave expression to the sorts of experiments that Tzusing could not resist immersion within. Moving finally to North America where he still resides, the emergence of techno in the burgeoning Chicago scene, through Magda, Tadd Mullinix, Diplo, and Theo Parrish provided the key influences for the present set of constructions and elemental forms.
At the present stage of the experiment, Tzusing attempts to prepare species of the minimal techno sort. But undoubtedly, the present arc is far from hygienic. Sources from hip-hop, rock music, and the occasional samba line condense within and without Tzusing’s mental states. The future will inevitably include multiple transformations, each as fluid as past and present lines.
