Overview
TACO! presents an evening of live musical performances by 3 artists working within experimental music. Each has an approach to performance that employ self-made instruments or sound making devices in the production of their work, fusing electronic, acoustic and analogue sounds and textures, often in improvised sets. The evening has been curated by sound artist and muscian Kate Carr.

She blends various textural and experimental analogue noise elements into her music, playing synthesisers, modular, and a variety of microphones for field recording. Jin constructs her own instruments and DIY microphones to produce unique sounds, used as material in her improvised live sets. During her live performances, she seeks to create an abstract, meditative atmosphere for her audience .
