Eric Wong

Eric Wong is an improvising guitarist and electronic musician, born in Minneapolis and raised in Hong Kong, who has been based in Berlin. His practice uses acoustic and electric guitar together with computer processing to develop a constantly changing sound world. Delays, modulation and computer-controlled pitch transformations extend the guitar's acoustic gestures without eliminating their physical character.

Wong has recorded solo works as well as collaborations with Nuno Torres, Guilherme Rodrigues, Ernesto Rodrigues and other improvisers. His guitar and computer album YYSSN documents the interaction between plucked and prepared sounds and live electronic processing. Through projects such as Temperature Difference and As We Read Along…, he has explored the relationship between acoustic group improvisation and digital interventions.
