People / Sin:Ned
Sin:Ned (Wong Chung-fai)
An idiosyncratic writer and a sonic artist from Hong Kong, who hacks and twists anything he can put his hands on. Used to be one of the major contributing writers of the legendary Hong Kong alternative music magazine MCB. While not writing as a pseudo-music critic elaborating his esoteric worldview, in the same idiosyncratic fashion, he spends much of his time hacking and sculpting sonic materials with his laptop and various electronic gears.
His interest ranges widely from improvisation, sound art, experimental music, and noise art to field recordings, and had taken part and performed in various festivals and exhibitions such as HK Sound and Vision Festival (2003), Get It Louder (2007), Hong Kong & Shenzhen Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture (2008). His first two solo works, "Uroborus: A Study On No-input Device" and "60 Seconds: A Schizophrenic Manual for Eternity", were both released by Lona Records in 2006. He is also one half of the electro-acoustic concept duo No One Pulse.
