Lam Lai

Lam Lai received her BA and MA in composition and electronic music at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, and further studied at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague. Lam has been expanding the meaning and properties of performance by employing various elements of theatre via working on the concept of music, exploring a place where different concepts of listening experience can coexist and advance towards a balance with other art forms. Her activity as a composer is not limited to instrumental music, but it is also present in her multidisciplinary works which are predominantly electronic sounds and performative elements. She also collaborates with theatre directors, choreographers, actors and visual artists, exploring among the indoor, outdoor and virtual performance spaces. She has worked with, among others, Music-theater company de Veenfabriek ( Netherlands ); SWR Experimentalstudio ( Freiburg ); New European Ensemble ( The Hague ); Hong Kong New Music Ensemble. Participated art festivals include the Munich Biennale, Stuttgart Die Irritierte Stadt, Musica Nova Helsinki, Iceland Cycle Music and Art festival, Hong Kong New Vision Arts festival and Sonic Anchor.
