Audrey Chen is a second generation Chinese/Taiwanese-American musician. She began cello at age 8 and voice at 11. In 2008, after years of classical conservatory training with a resulting specialization in early/new music, she began new negotiations with sound in order to discover a more individually honest aesthetic. Since then, using the un-processed voice, cello, and analog electronics, Chen’s work delves deeply into her own version of narrative and non-linear storytelling. Her playing explores the combination and layering of the analog synthesizer, prepared, traditional, and extended techniques in both the voice and cello.
