Bio
Li-Chuan Chong, also known as Chuan. Born in the Republic of Singapore, 1975, Chuan started his training in music at age seven on the piano with Madam Yeo Bee Choo. At fourteen, Chuan moved to London to live with his father in the United Kingdom, and continued to study the piano with the late Mr Peter Gellhorn (1912-2004). Chuan’s obsession with composing was kindled during that period and he later focused on Composition (Acoustic Pathway) and Aesthetics in his bachelor degree (BMus) at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Chuan had the good fortune to keep up his piano studies with the late Ms Susan Bradshaw (1931-2005), during his undergraduate years, concentrating on keyboard music by J.S. Bach and Dimitri Shostakovich.
Chuan went on to obtain a Masters in Composition (Studio Pathway) at Goldsmiths College, and carried out post-graduate research under the supervision of Dr Katharine Norman, Dr Nye Parry, Dr Michael Young, and Dr John Drever. Chuan is interested in the parallel conversations to be had between art and philosophy, in particular that of ‘identity formation’ and ‘materiality’.
Chuan is keen on collaborating with artists from various disciplines, involving sound as a key element in concept and realisation. Chuan has worked on numerous projects with practitioners in theatre, performance and visual arts, writing music and sound design for film and video, and hopes to continually expand his horizon in the field of sound organisation.

alice anacrusis
A play of surface and depth, à la Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, through perhaps my vain attempt to circumscribe or circumvent only the notion of upbeat (anacrusis). Seems like an impossible task to continually present/demonstrate just the upbeats to something or just the fore-phrases without getting into a whole lot of /mess/mass/ or trouble (like Alice). Hint: Have a go at playing back the file at various speeds, e.g. half, quarter, double etc. Think fractal by design.
