PaprTape is the name of Tony Yang, 楊伯翊 (Yáng•bó•yì) a Bushwick, NYC based ambient and electronic artist originally from Cincinnati, OH (where I am based…Midwest represent). For this performance video we get a peek into Yang’s creative process. A single chord and endless possibilities. After reorganizing his studio, Yang’s decidedly stripped down set-up was used to create a single, meditative piece that embraced the limitations imposed by the hardware. The result was a beautifully and deceptively simple performance and piece of music that captures the flow of ideas from body to machine, sine-waves bending like brainwaves becoming full thoughts and sometimes vice-versa. We are lucky to listen and observe a very intimate conversation taking place.
