Hello!
I am a new media artist and sound designer who loves collaborating, experimenting, and learning. Here you can find my current projects; upcoming/past events, and professional work in music, programming, and sound design. I have many personal interests and occasionally write casual musings on my blog.
Since I was a child, I've been fascinated with different instruments. I started my musical journey with classical piano and later joined a student performance group that shared a blend of Cape Breton, Celtic, and Metis traditional fiddle music. I studied kinesiology in university, intending for a future in acupuncture, but discovered the world of sound and technology while enrolled in UBC’s Minor in Applied Music Technology program, and haven’t looked back since!
My interests are ever expanding and I love collaborating. Please feel free to contact me to say hi, discuss collaborative ideas, or ask any questions you may have!
“When you play, never mind who listens to you.”
― Robert Schumann
BIO
Andrea Wong is a sound artist whose musical background stems from classical piano and Canadian folk fiddle. She discovered an interest in sound and technology during her involvement as a programmer with Sonic UBC Laptop Sounds and Sensors (SUBCLASS) where she worked alongside other musicians and dancers in composing for interactive media art performance works. Since then, Andrea has worked in sound design for interactive media including virtual reality games and interactive installations, as well as fixed media such as short animations and live performances including electroacoustic operas at various Canadian festivals. Her passion and curiosities have led her in a pursuit of using technology to create meaningful and accessible immersive experiences. Andrea’s current musical practice is focused on creating sincere relationships and unique dialogues through free improvisation. She can be found performing on a Chinese guzheng augmented with computer electronics, and hosting her regular community series Improv Karaoke. She currently sits on the board of directors of Vancouver New Music.
