Impromptu Interpolations: A Performative Sound Experiment

Inspired by Juan's Impromptu Interpolations, Lan takes a deliberate approach to expand the sonic landscape, intertwining gears without predetermined notions or customized presets. Balancing a tumultuous relationship with Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS) and the struggle to comprehend text due to ADHD, Lan forgoes the conventional route of reading manuals (RTFM: Read the fucking Manual). Embracing the serendipity of randomness, this sonic experiment promises purity in its exploration. Moreover, it serves as an open invitation for viewers to actively engage in the creative process, bridging the gap between their impulses and the evolving creation.
