C. Spencer Yeh was born in 1975 in Taipei (Taiwan). He moved to the US in 1980 and studied radio, television and film at Northwestern University. He is currently based out of Cincinnati, Ohio. Yeh is active both as a solo and collaborative artist, as well as with his primary project Burning Star Core. As an improviser, he is focused on developing a personal vocabulary using violin, voice and electronics. As a sound artist/composer, Yeh works with all aspects available surrounding a work, aurally and physically, as elements key to the cumulative experience. He is concerned with the sensual aspects of “sound organization” as well as gestural qualities. Yeh has collaborated with a deep and ever-growing list of artists and groups, including Tony Conrad, New Humans with Vito Acconci, Evan Parker, Thurston Moore, Amy Granat with Jutta Koether, Justin Lieberman, Don Dietrich and Ben Hall (as The New Monuments), Prurient, and Jandek. He has performed at festivals and venues such as Sonar, FIMAV at Victoriaville, Frieze Arts Fair, No Fun Fest, High Zero, the 24 Hour Drone People at Fylkingen, The Kitchen, ZKM Karlsruhe and has also exhibited visual art, sound and video works internationally.
