12 dog cycle

Alice Hui-Sheng Chang (Taiwan) and Nigel Brown (Australia) work as 12 dog cycle, extending the voice through extreme unconventional technique and the accordion through modifications and pickups.

In performance, the accordion defines and modulates the performance space, whereas the voice is the event; the tour guide through time that provides an entrance and an exit.

They have performed in East Asia, Europe and Australia at festivals including Vozes de Magaio, Portugal, Santander Art Sonoro, Spain; Elsie Else, France; Kuandu Arts Festival, Taiwan; tranSonic, Taiwan; 2pi, China and the Now Now, Liquid Architecture and Electrofringe, Australia.
