Artist Bios

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 focussed 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
