Alpha Xiao has been active in its musical exploration of mental and musical space since 2020. They often collaborate with other musicians and artists in different constellations such as Sebastian Campbell of God Mother, Petri Kuljantausta and Olav Westphalen. They have played extensively in various European venues in Sweden, Finland, Belgium, France and Germany. Alpha Xiao has also created music for Fabien Guillermont and Toan Van Che’s full-length documentary “Reality Check” in 2024.
Alpha Xiao is an experimental musical group using a portable electroencephalograph (EEG) and microbial activity to modulate designed audio samples in real time as well as a traditional Chinese flute called a Xiao. The two person constellation focuses musically on connectivity through rough sketches of compositions, sounds and themes. As brain waves and non-human life expressions influence certain dynamics of the sound, and vice versa, a type of feedback loop is generated between the activities of the technology and sound produced ad infinitum.
Alpha Xiao plays live at Hökarängens Antikvariat & Skivbörs, Saturday May 9 at 17h. Address: Pepparvägen 4, 12356 Stockholm
