Alice Hui-Sheng Chang is back in Taiwan after nearly five years in Melbourne. Currently she's looking for improvisors for recording or performance as part of her Taipei Artist Village (oct 14th 2008- jan 4th 2009) and Cite Internationale des Arts, Paris (1st feb-15th july 2009) residency projects. She also collaborates with Nigel Brown (on accordian and electronic) as 12 dog cycle.

Extended vocal technique has been Alice Hui-Sheng Chang's main focus since end of 2003. The use of extended human voice intends to evoke a psychological connection to the indescribable feelings. She wish to communicate in a sonic language that is not descriptive, yet using a direct and fundamental medium – the human voice. Her work explores human voice: through various combinations of extended techniques, both separately, layered and interactive; via interaction with the sound scape and acoustic properties of the environment; with attention to visual and spatial associations.
