Clansie Cheng Daoyuan

Clansie Cheng Daoyuan is a Taipei-based new media creator whose works spans experimental sound performance, installation, and visual creation. At the core of Cheng’s art is the convergence of two distinct planes into a coherent form, striving to immerse himself in the here and now, while simultaneously, and paradoxically, seeking to exile himself in this non-existent time and space: where the true equates to the false, where to exist means to be extinguished. In his performances, Cheng uses a combination of computer software and programming, analog effects pedals, and vocalizations, as well as his own installations, to construct a distinctive atmosphere both doom-ridden and over-driven. He has performed around Taiwan, and played his first overseas shows in 2019 at venues in Koenji and Tachikawa in Tokyo. Cheng’s recordings have been featured on numerous compilations released released by labels locally and in the UK and Portugal. His debut album “旣 Apeiron” was released by Taipei label Future Proof, with a limited run of 100 tapes to be released January 29th, 2020.
