COMPOSITION AND SOUND DESIGNER

A queer performer and sound artist based in Naarm/Melbourne. Their work is shaped by the push and pull of diaspora and queerness, where tradition is both refuge and resistance. They move incognito through quiet spaces — through walks, through water sounds, in their bedroom, where they shape sounds. By subverting traditional forms, they transform the western flute from a symbol of colonial influence into a vessel for expressing their fluid identity and diasporic narrative as a non-binary Shanghai artist. By bending and reshaping the flutes voice, in-between shifting microtones, layers of glitches and breath, 傑克。胡’s practice is a reclamation of space that holds both grief, joy and radical softness. You’ll always see them improvising live to their music on an amplified flute.
