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 Paris and they are preparing for a concert in Slemani i Iraqi Kurdistan in early November. They will carry out two working sessions in Paris in October. They hope that their new album will be released before they leave for the Middle East.
Alpha Xiao is an experimental musical group using a portable electroencephalograph (EEG) 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.
