Tapescape New York Performances

Tapescape is presented live at ISSUE Project Room in New York City, performed by Qiujiang Levi Lu (卢秋江). The work traces how tap—both as sound and as gesture—can function as an instrument inside a listening-focused venue, where movement is treated as composition rather than decoration. No specific NYC premiere history has been confirmed, but its placement within the city’s experimental music ecology signals a cultural crossing between dance lineages and contemporary sound practice. One clear effect is a shift in attention: rhythm becomes a form of close listening.
