Hsu Bor-Nien
Based in Taipei, Hsu Bor-Nien is a contemporary musician and sound artist whose practice is rooted in the exploration of spectral relationships and harmonic resonance. His work investigates the boundaries between measurable acoustics and subjective listening experience, creating immersive sound fields that challenge conventional notions of frequency and time. Through meticulous research and experimental composition, Hsu Bor-Nien invites audiences to perceive sound as a complex, multi-dimensional phenomenon rather than a simple physical vibration.
Research
A systematic inquiry into the spectral architecture of sound, focusing on the interplay between measurable acoustics and the subjective resonance of the listener.
01
Spectral Mapping
An exploration of the physical and mathematical relationships between harmonic frequencies and their distribution across the audible spectrum.
02
Resonance Hypotheses
Investigating the subjective experience of sound fields and the psychological impact of harmonic resonance on the listener.
03
Listening Fields
A study of the spatial and temporal dimensions of sound, focusing on how frequency ratios create unique auditory landscapes.
