Thomas Fang

Sound and video artist Thomas Fang uses modular synthesizers and esoteric antique electronic test equipment in a multidisciplinary practice that draws from both media archaeology and forward-looking explorations of technology. Working for synth manufacturers since 2008 has led him to embrace the newest hardware, while still allowing chaotic and aleatoric forces to guide creative processes. In 2001 he co-founded the Artificial Music Machine record label and began performing in the US and internationally, both solo and in ensembles. He has been a curator for arts nonprofit Church of the Friendly Ghost, staff member of Austin Museum of Digital Art, and has taught synthesis and circuit bending workshops for New Media Art and Sound Summit and other events. Thomas has been a facilitator and administrator for Synth Library Portland from its inception in 2016, and joined 4ms Company in 2010.
