A Native of Hong Kong, Viola Yip is a New York-based experimental composer, performer, sound artist and instrument builder. Her recent interests fall on designing new experimental instruments to explore the sonic materiality of found objects, the interactions between performative gestures, instruments, space, as well as her own composer-performer body as an intersectional work-in-progress. Viola's instruments and performances has been presented in major music festivals and concert series in New York, Missouri, Chicago, San Diego, Boston, Bowling Green (Ohio), Pittsburgh, Ithaca, Saratoga Springs, Los Angelos, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur, Belfast, Manchester, Huddersfield, Madeira, Ghent, Amsterdam, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Berlin and Darmstadt.
