Musician Pak Yan Lau will present a night of synth music and sound art at Old Heaven on Dec. 28.

    After her piano studies in Belgium and Portugal, the musician’s musical interests made a shift towards free improvisation and sound/noise related music. Her love for curious sounding objects and her obsession for toys, especially for toy pianos led her to start a toy band called “The Crappy Mini Band.” Other explorations found an output in “Kuruwasan.” Nowadays she is primarily working on her solo project, her groove and trance project “Going” and her minimal trio “lauroshilau.”

    Her music spans different horizons, with improvisation and sound as the main focuses. Taking the extraordinary out of the ordinary and creating little sound-mosaics in a minimal, poetic way while exploring the vast spectrum of sonar possibility is the best way to describe her path. Besides, she also makes music for dance or theater productions “Gadgetland” with Lazara Rosell Albear, shadow theater “The Fabulous Choi Sisters,” documentary “News From Nowhere” by Christoph van Collie and children theater “Tweelicht & Zoon.”
