12 dog cycle
12 dog cycle is a combination of human voice and instrument from Taiwanese artist Alice Hui-Sheng Chang and Australian artist Nigel Brown. They are both graduates of the MFA program at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University in Australia.
In returning to Taiwan in 2007, Alice brought the first non-conventional technique human vocal performance. She also won the First Prize in Sound Art in Digital Art Awards, Taipei, 2007.
They performed as the opening set in 2pi Festival in Hangzhou, China, 2007.
12 dog cycle now works and live in Taichung.

12 dog cycle pair the breathing limitations of piano accordion and human voice, extending the voice through extreme unconventional technique and the accordion’s acoustic properties with live electronic manipulation.
In performance, accordion tones borrowing from the drone and minimalist pattern music traditions fill and modulate the space inhabited by the audience. The sound begins as a physical byproduct of the performer’s exertion, but over time becomes a disembodied harmonic presence within the room. In contrast, the voice is mobile and distinctly human. While the accordion defines and modulates the performance space, the voice is the event; the tour guide through time that provides the audience with an entrance and an exit.
