Thomas Fang

Thomas Fang is a sound and video artist who uses modular synthesizers and esoteric antiques to weave reverberating textural drones with fractured granular alien glitches. After exploring the uses of vintage laboratory test equipment, handmade devices, field recordings, radio transmissions, and circuit-bent electronics, working for synth manufacturers since 2008 has led him to embrace the newest hardware while still allowing chaotic and aleatoric forces to guide creative processes. In 2001 he co-founded the Artificial Music Machine record label and began performing both solo and in ensembles. He has also been a curator for arts nonprofit Church of the Friendly Ghost, staff member of Austin Museum of Digital Art, and has taught synthesis and circuit bending workshops for New Media Art and Sound Summit, Future Music Summit, and Synth Library Portland. Thomas has been a facilitator and administrator for the Synth Library since its inception in 2016.
