PA66

Formed in 2016, PA66 is one of the few active experimental ensembles in Taichung City. Everything you hear is improvised: highly rigid, high tensile strength, and even more pronounced properties when exposed to moisture. However, it also has a high shrinkage rate, dimensional instability, and an ever-changing lineup. The ensemble responds to various stage settings and performance contexts, ranging from free jazz to industrial noise and sound installations.

Though PA66 has remained intermittently active over the years, the group continues to surface for occasional live performances. PA66 has previously shared the stage with Big Foot, the multinational free-jazz quartet led by Akira Sakata; Japanese duo Sax Ruins; and East Asian improvisation ensemble FEN.

Lineup

For this performance, the lineup features Xiao Liu on saxophone, Lai Shi-Chao on guitar pedals, Wang Sheng-Wei on percussion, Immanuel Dannenbring on drums, and Hom Yu on bass, joined by Ohau and Chiu Chih-Chun on audiovisual, and Chiu Yuan-Nan on puppetry.
