STUDIO ZYKLOS is an ensemble and lab comprised of Melody Chua and Chi Him Chik—both of whom come from a classical training of flute and saxophone, respectively. In the last decade, they have amassed a comprehensive résumé in contemporary performance practice, experimental music, immersive audiovisual composition, and improvisation. The core of ZYKLOS' practice is performing with self-developed improvisation machines (Aiii and AIYA) in order to challenge their methods of improvisation and push them to find new ways of human-machine interaction, collaboration, and production. ZYKLOS aims to destabilize traditional hierarchies of human and machine, create innovative formats for music performance, and develop narratives beyond the anthropologic gaze. Personal storytelling through interactive media is at the heart of everything ZYKLOS does—a more-than-human dialogue of understanding that takes the form of music-making, translation, and movement across different bodies, both visible and invisible.
