Tapescape is an interactive sound installation that reimagines magnetic tape as a spatial surface for composition. Rather than treating tape as a linear medium for fixed playback, Lu records and arranges sound on tapes across flat acrylic panels, allowing composition to exist as a field of directions, densities, and gestures distributed in space.

Qiujiang Levi Lu 卢秋江 is an experimental musician, media artist, and composer whose work centers on the body as a site of sonic transformation. Through custom-built electroacoustic instruments, feedback systems, and live performance, Lu explores how sound can become intimate, unstable, and physically charged. Their practice often extends the body through cyborg-like augmentations, including intraoral microphone-speaker systems and amplified laptop instruments, creating performances that merge ritual, noise, and embodied technology.
